Product Description

Manufacturer's Description
Sony Microsite HTML Version

Video playback lets you play video 'podcasts', downloaded content from other internet sites, TV content recorded directly to your PC, and even movies you shot on your camcorder.

It's versatile and easy to use. You can change screen format from vertical (portrait) to horizontal widescreen (landscape) and you can zoom in during playback. Stores up to 1000 video files. High speed playback, up to 30 frames per second for smooth viewing.

With the 8GB version, you can store as much as 32 hours of video (at 384kbs). So whether it’s Gone With The Wind or The Godfather 1, 2 and 3, the WALKMAN video can handle it.


 
 

Now you can see the difference a WALKMAN makes.

2" QVGA colour LCD, high resolution (320 x 240), high brightness, high contrast and superior colour reproduction display your videos at their best.

To avoid the problem sometimes experienced when viewing small screens, Sony has used its TV expertise to create a great picture. For example, using a low temperature poly-silicon TFT panel with LED backlight to reproduce 262,144 individual colours so mobile viewing does not mean compromising on quality.


 

 

 

 

Intuitively designed, the WALKMAN video offers enhanced searching (and cover art display) meaning you can conveniently access every classification (artist/album/genre etc) from the Now Playing page.

Plus there are five simple sound enhancement functions to optimise quality: these include a five band equalizer, virtual surround and ‘Clear Bass’ technology.

 

 


 

 

 
 

Versatility. Flexibility. The
NW-A800 series supports a variety of music file formats: MP3, AAC*, WMA* and ATRAC. Plus ATRAC Advanced Lossless for ultra-high quality recording.

It also supports high quality video formats:

MPEG-4 SP. The most popular ‘codec’. Up to 2.5 Mbps, up to 30 frames a second.

AVC Baseline. High video
quality even with lower
bit rate. Up to 768 kbps,
up to 30 frames per second.

Plus the supplied Image
Converter 3 software allows
other formats to be easily
converted.

*Non DRM


 
 

WALKMAN has always stood for the highest quality portable audio. The WALKMAN video has four ‘Clear Audio’ technologies:

Clear Stereo technology Keeping the two signals to the headphones clearly separate. So what you should be hearing in your left ear will never ‘leak’ into the right headphone.

Digital Sound Enhancement Engine (DSEE) This unique feature improves compressed audio quality restoring high frequency signals to poor recording.

Automatic Level Control (ALC) Gives clear, rich bass without distortion.

The unique shape of the earphones allows the biggest possible sound unit (13.5mm) whilst maintaining the most comfortable in-ear fit.

 


 
 

Stylish and compact the
NW-A800 series is available in three colours: white, black and pink.

Certain colours may not
be available in all
countries/capacities.


 




 
 

Prolong your entertainment with the WALKMAN video. Fully charged you can access thirty hours worth of music* playback
or eight hours of video.**

To fully charge the battery takes only three hours.


*Music: ATRAC 132 kbps
**Video MPEG-4 384kbps


 



 

 

 

Your mobile picture library.

Play your photos individually or use the slideshow setting. Plus you can even enhance the experience by adding a soundtrack.

Easy to use, you can display your photos in portrait or landscape. The display format of the photo list can also be changed to your preference: ‘Title Only’, ‘Title With Thumbnail’ or ’Thumbnail Only’.




 

 

 

Big sound and big screen performance doesn't need to weigh you down.

When you're on the move with a WALKMAN video, size is everything.

Length: 88mm
Width: 43.8mm

    5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect alternative to the iPod - Finally!, 29 April 2007
    By Y. Dyer (England) - See all my reviews
    (REAL NAME)   
    Frankly, I'm amazed that the Sony NWA800 series have not managed to creep up the bestsellers list to rival the iPod. It took a lot of surfing the net to find this mp3 player, but I'm now glad that I did. It not only looks fantastic (as good as, if not better than, the iPod nanos) but sounds fantastic. The earphones provided have pretty good sound quality although it takes a while to figure out how to get them into your ears. The quality of the visuals is also pretty impressive; the player came with the trailer for spiderman 3 and it was remarkably clear, though albeit a bit small to watch anything longer than a few minutes on.

    For me, the main reason to get a Sony mp3 player was because they have the best battery life on the market and when they say 30 hours, they mean it. Sadly, they chose not to give this the massive 72 hour playback that some of their other players have, but I guess that's simply because this player has a powerful screen that the others didn't have.

    The only quibble that some people may have with using Sony is the program used to transfer files, Sonicstage. Personally, I've never had any trouble with it even though it is occassionally a bit slow, but I have heard that others have had problems with it.

    Pros:
    Battery life
    Looks good
    Good sound
    Can cram about 1000 tracks in 2gbs - not bad
    Nowhere near as common as the iPod

    Cons:
    Sonicstage
    Amazon not the cheapest (in this case)

    Overall, if you have no problem with Sonicstage, this player is probably one of the best on the market and definately worth considering.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Possibly the best compact MP3/Media Player there is?, 4 Sep 2007
    I wasn't even looking to buy another MP3 player, but when I got handle one of these in a shop I just had to have one. It's so small, light and stylish and the build quality is great. It plays video, music and you can import photos. But how good is it as a media player and is Sonic Stage really that bad?

    1. Music. For playing music you have to use Sonic Stage. The version here is 4.3 and is much improved on the earlier versions that I have used. Sonic Stage really isn't that bad. You import your librarys and select your transfer method: you can import them as MP3 or convert them to Sony's ATRAC format which according to Sony is better quality at smaller file sizes. One downfall of Sonic Stage is that during the conversion it can take longer to transfer. However, just leave it to run in the background whilst you do other tasks (on my machine it isn't CPU/Memory hungry-and I don't a top-of-the-range PC). If you don't want to convert, then just transfer them in MP3 format. Note thought that .wmv files are not supported.

    2. Sound quality. I'm a bit of an anorak when it comes to sound quality and to be honest the sound quality of the NW-808 is superb. Not as good as the iAudio players but not far off either (bear in mind that iAudio use BBE Maximiser which is exceptionally good). And in comparison to the iPods.... well there's no competition really. Sony have been making walkmans and headphones for years and with the NW-808 it really shows.

    3. Video. The screen quality is superb. I honestly can't believe for a player this size and which is so light, that the quality is this good. The player is bundled with Image Converter which you use to convert your .avi files etc to play. Image Converter has the benefit of compressing and optimising the files for use on the player, so giving you more space for other things. Or you can simply drag and drop the files in an Windows Explorer window instead, without any compression.

    4. Photos. You can use Image Converter again to compress your photos for viewing, or again drag and drop using Explorer.

    5. As a memory stick. You can use the NW-A808 for as a hard drive simply by connecting it to any computer and using Windows Explorer for dumping files on to it.

    6. Headphones. The headphones are actually quite good considering they are bundled. They come with a number of different size ear buds to accommodate different ear sizes. To get the best of of the NW-A808 you will need to buy a better set of headphones, but considering how bad the phones are that come with the iPod etc they really aren't a bad backup set of headphones.

    Overall, an exceptional piece of kit. Battery life is good (although I'm yet to test it out to see whether you do get 30 hours). Don't be worried about Sonic Stage. Just learn the ropes and know it's limits and it will work fine for you. iTunes can be nightmare to use and in my experience Sonic Stage is easier and certainly more predictable to use than iTunes.
