Sony MP3 Walkman 用户手册

Music Formats Supported

Sony dedicated Walkmans and the supplied 
SonicStage CP (v4.0) software supports a wide
range of today’s most popular audio file formats.ˇ 
These include MP3, WMA, AAC and ATRAC.

All current flash Walkman support these formats
natively, meaning that there is no conversion
needed to transfer these music files onto the
Walkman. This makes it easy for anyone who
already has a collection of music to transfer and
enjoy them without any hassles.

ATRAC is an advanced form of audio 
compression that utilizes a more efficient audio
encoding process to deliver superior quality
audio at very high compression levels. It was 
specifically designed for use in portable audio 
players in light or the requirements for longer
battery life and limited file spaces for
song storage.

AAC is the latest addition to the family of 
Walkman-supported formats. It was designed 
as the successor to the popular MP3 format and 
is a widely accepted format amongst key digital
audio players today. It was co-developed by
major companies including Dolby, Fraunhofer, 
AT&T, Nokia and of course Sony.

Organic EL Display

The Organic EL (Electro 
Luminescent) Display is a 
technology that utilises an organic 
compound layer in the screen to 
deliver a sharper display that is
easy on the eyes. The organic layer
generates its own light so there 
is no need for a backlight, which 
would consume more power.

In summary, users get improved
visual clarity and battery
performance.

Rapid Recharge

Rapid Recharge is a feature that allows the user to gain up to 3 hours of 
battery power, after only charging the Walkman for 3 minutes!

Should a user forget to charge their battery, all they need to do is charge 
their Walkman for a few minutes and they will have enough power to last 
them for a workout at the gym, travel to work, or even an interstate trip.

Rapid Recharge is
available on ALL dedicated 
Flash Walkmans.

Noise-Cancelling

Noise is a factor in many of our lifestyles. 
We hear it in the engine noise of a bus or a
plane and even in places such as shopping
malls and parks where all sorts of sounds mix.

This background noise can interfere with your
audio enjoyment and can still come through
even a great set of headphones.

For this reason Sony offer headphones with 
‘Noise-Cancelling’ technology. This means that
the headphones have microphones built-in to
them that can pick up ambient noise and output 
a signal that effectively ‘neutralises’ or ‘cancels’
the noise out. Depending on the degree of 

cancellation, you can have up to 80% of 
ambient background noise cut out! 

This removes more unwanted sounds, and allows
more pure music to reach your ears instead.

In addition to noise-cancelling headphones,
the new S700 series Walkmans have noise-
cancelling technology† built-in as well, making
both these devices perfect for those who are
serious about sound or simply just want to cut
the clutter.

† Noise cancelling function reduces the ambient noise by up
to 75%. It does not cancel all ambient noise.

The microphone used in
noise-cancelling technology
picks up ambient noise from 
the background  environment
and outputs an equal and
opposite signal effectively 
neutralising the sound wave
of the noise.
