A fascination with innovation
When Sony comes out with a new product, I buy it immediately. I recall buying the first Sony Walkman and
CD player as soon as they went on sale in Europe. I also bought the first SACD (Super Audio CD) player
model and the very first VAIO PC, even though the instruction manual was only available in Japanese. And
I've even owned three generations of AIBO entertainment robots.

Sony is dedicated to creating dreams and experiences that make our
lives more enjoyable and enriching. In this section, we introduce four
Sony enthusiasts who work closely with Sony products every day.
Surrounded by Sony at home and in
the studio
Sony products, especially my P900 Sony Ericsson cellular phone, are an
essential part of my life at home and at the Montreux Sounds Video
Studio. At the studio, I use an XPRI HD (high-definition) non-linear
video production system for editing and transferring material. I also
have a D-2, Digital Betacam, Betacam SP (Super Performance) and IMX,
which I use to make copies of video clips in various formats. At home,
my favorite Sony products are my PX40 projector and 50-inch plasma
television. They're perfect for showing my jazz festival HD video
recordings to important guests and artists. So hardly a day goes by
without Sony.
Outstanding perfor-
mance and ease of use
I really count on Sony at the
Montreux Jazz Festival; all my HD
video and audio recordings are
made using Sony products. One of
the best things about Sony
products is their compatibility,
even between consumer and
professional equipment. And
thanks to the compact size of Sony
video cameras and digital cameras,
I've been able to assemble an
extensive library of candid shots of
many artists.
