HDR-HC1

High Definition Handycam HDR-HC1

A natural grip was made possible using simple lines that flow diagonally, from the large diameter lens, toward the electric viewfinder (EVF).

Frequently used functions are independently laid out as individual buttons, while the more specialized switches have been functionally located. Because this recorder is designed to offer stability despite its compact size, the user can operate it comfortably and film for long periods without fatigue.

DAR-RH7000

Home theater system DAR-RH7000

The main unit is crafted from a curved plate, free of joints, yielding a smooth line from the top to the front panel.The front panel part features an angled half-mirror finish to skillfully conceal infrequently used operating buttons and make the panel display easier to read.

Frequently used buttons are concentrated on the front upper-right side for easy access.

The woofer and speakers have been designed to convey a sharp and integrated image.

SDM-HS75P/HS95P

TFT LCD Color Computer Display SDM-HS75P/HS95P

The "rising design" concept is a result of the almost seamless line that ascends from the keyboard to the monitor. Connecting cords are also well hidden.

A cover conceals the connecters so as to make the unit look beautiful, even from the rear.

The tilt angle can be easily adjusted with one hand, facilitating easy viewing.

NAS-CZ1

Hi-Fi Systems with Ethernet Client function NAS-CZ1

The entire casing is covered by netting and features an oval design that evokes music radiating outward. The sound field is wider than that in most audio equipment. Because of its pleasing aesthetics as seen from all directions, it matches any room environment.

WALKMAN A series NW-A3000,NW-A1000

WALKMAN A Series NW-A1000/NW-A3000

Smooth flowing curved lines that avoided corners and straight lines were used, to create a shape that seems to gently wrap around the music that emanates from within. With the side band kept in the center and sandwiched between the upper and lower parts, there are no joints, and the design is very pleasing when viewed from any angle.

The use of the acrylic and deposited mirror invokes a sense of transparency to the body, and together with the light of the organic EL display, impart an illuminating presence.

SA-FT7ED

Home Theater Speaker System SA-FT7ED

The speaker stands are crafted of glass and evoke a sense of quality and transparency.

Adjusting the angle of the stand frame has made the 6-mm thick glass look 3-cm thick.Making the most of the newly developed slim speaker units, this speaker system achieves both beautiful aesthetics and functionality.

MFM-HT75/95

LCD Monitor MFM-HT75/95

Breaking away from the traditional PC monitor design of "a monitor, stand, and base," a unified design line that ascends almost seamlessly from the keyboard to the monitor has been incorporated.The unit is supported at three points, which has improved stability and has adopted a mechanism that enables the tilt angle to be adjusted with only one hand.

VGC-RB54G

Personal Computer VAIO VGC-RB54G

A simple yet high-impact design was targeted. With its characteristic L-shape design and detailed texture and finish, this model exudes the presence of the VAIO Series.Care was also taken to create fine details, such as the illuminating VAIO logo that seems to ascend from the interior of the front panel and the side-mounted operating buttons.The front panel uses a semi-transparent material, adding a fresh perspective to the design and minimizing the usual sense of bulk and weight found in most desktop computers.

VGN-TX90PS/90S/50B Type T

Personal Computer VAIO VGN-TX90PS/90S/50B VAIO Type T

Thin and lightweight, this model's top cover incorporates multi-layer carbon fiber.This simple and compact look with advanced functions concentrated together contributes to creating a fresh new design that people will want to keep close at hand.

VPL-CX20,CS20

Front projector VPL-CX20,CS20

The round form matches the projector's movement when it is turned on and allows better hand-fit. A "cool stationary" concept has been realized in the aluminum hairline finish that conveys luxury and solidity.

VPL-VW100

Video Projector VPL-VW100

The structure allows alignment of the light source, lens, and screen to ensure a clear, distortion-free video image. The gently sloping surfaces that extend from the centerline to the frame edges have resulted in a unique hexagonal form, when viewed from above or from the front, that conveys its high resolution feel.
