For over 50 years, Sony has been developing
world-class products and services that add excitement and creativity to your life. Sony is committed
to applying that same ongoing innovation to build a sustainable future.
Engineered
to pioneer
Thinner, lighter VAIO® notebooks require less energy and reduce consumption and depletion of
materials. The majority of VAIO computer models are ENERGY STAR® 4.0 compliant and have
received either EPEAT Gold or Silver rankings. This means they use less power, affecting energy
bills, and reduced greenhouse gas emissions.
More picture quality, less energy wasted
Sony® BRAVIA® TVs and LCDs are developed with the environment in mind. This includes reduced costs
throughout the product lifecycle -- from buying to maintaining to running your Sony TVs and LCD
displays. Most of the BRAVIA® HDTVs are designed to exceed ENERGY STAR® 3.0 Specifications, saving
you money on energy costs while still delivering stunning images. The BRAVIA® VE5 LCD HDTV 52"
version, for example, exceeds ENERGY STAR® 3.0 Specifications by 65.5%*. The ECO-Panel, on a
selection of our newest models reduces power consumption while in use, and the new Eco-Switch on
selected models enables zero power consumption when the display is off.
Sony BRAVIA® HDTVs also feature innovative technology that self adjusts backlight to save power.
Light sensors automatically adjust the brightness of the screen to maximize viewing quality and
minimize energy usage. And on the BRAVIA® KDL-VE5, a Presence Detector sets the television into
standby mode when no motion is detected within a preset amount of time. All to support the
conservation of valuable resources and limit green house gas emissions.
Blu-ray
Disc™ Players go green
In 2008, the unit features 21 percent less power consumption in playback mode and 43 percent reduced
power consumption in stand-by mode.
More than just talking the talk
Sony Ericsson is proud to deliver the most efficient chargers from a standby power point of view,
with all new models after 2005 meeting the requirements for ENERGY STAR®. Sony Ericsson also makes
continuous efforts to reduce energy consumption from all activities. At the Sony Ericsson
manufacturing site, the electricity per manufactured unit was significantly reduced by 24% in 2007
compared to 2005. The goal is to reduce the carbon footprint from Sony Ericsson's own activities by
15% per produced unit by 2009 and 20% by 2011 based on the 2007 figures.
A
Sony innovation, 10 years in the making
Every once in a while, a new technology emerges that changes everything. At just 3mm thin, Sony has
developed an unbelievably thin TV - while advancing image quality to levels that no other TV can
match. This technology is called OLED.
Organic Light Emitting Diode, or OLED, is a technology that uses carbon-based organic material in a
process that converts electric energy into light. This light is used to illuminate the screen and
produce the most astounding results ever seen on a television. OLED emits light and does not require
a backlight-realizing a new TV form of approximately 3mm at its thinnest point. And when these
elements are in their "off" state, they consume no power. The result? OLED TVs use less energy than
LCDs. The OLED display consumes less electricity compared to conventional displays because OLED's
light-emitting structure does not require a separate light source and can be powered using very low
voltages.
Sony Innovative Materials Saves
Participation
in EPEAT™ Program
As a committed participant in the Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT™ )
program, various VAIO® notebooks have been registered for their environmentally conscious design and
the overall eco-conscious efforts of Sony. EPEAT is a tool designed to help you compare and select
products based on their environmental attributes. The majority of VAIO notebooks and desktops are
either registered as Gold or Silver.
Meeting the RoHS Directive
All Sony VAIO computers have PVC-free exterior product casings and packaging. They are also EU
Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive compliant. The RoHS directive restricts the
amount of certain materials such as lead and mercury, used in electronic products. By limiting the
use of hazardous substances, RoHS aims not only to help prevent harmful materials from leaching into
our ecosystems but also helps minimize potential exposure to these substances and promotes easier
recycling at the end of a product's lifecycle.
Sony adopted the use of recycled and reused materials in
several models of our LCDs, and all are EU Restriction of Hazardous Substances (RoHS) Directive
compliant, helping prevent harmful materials, such as lead, from leaching into our ecosystem when
improperly disposed while also helping increase recycling and reduce potential chemical exposure
from the manufacturing process. And further keeping green in mind, suppliers for products are
certified as green partners based on Sony's stringent standard for chemical substances used in
products.
All Sony® Blu-ray Disc™ Player parts, and all other Sony products, are lead and cadmium-free, based
on EU RoHS directive restrictions, and major plastic parts of the Blu-ray Disc Player are free of
brominated flame retardants.
Sony Ericsson is the first company to remove brominated flame
retardants from its
mobile
phones and the first to manufacture a full range of products, including accessories, which are also
brominated flame retardant free.
They were also the first in ensuring that every device in their range was fully compliant with the
EU Directive on the restriction of hazardous substances (RoHS). Sony Ericsson phones are PVC free,
and we are currently working to phase out antimony, beryllium and phthalates from our products.
Sony Packaging Is More Than Just Style
Cutting Down on Package Size
Sony is looking at minimizing its impact of its computers on our environment, by reducing the size
of our packaging. VAIO® products utilize 30-95 percent post-consumer recycled content (actual
percentage depends on manufacturing). They also use non-VOC vegetable oil-based ink in all Japanese
made units. On the inside of the box, all Sony-created documentation uses 85% post-consumer recycled
content.
Creating Manuals from Recycled Materials
On the BRAVIA® Series, the product information and packaging, including instruction manuals,
Quick Set-Up Guides and box packaging are made from recyclable materials. Inside the box, the
styrofoam packing cushions are made from reprocessed EPS that's been taken from original parts
packaging, shredded, compacted and recycled into Television packaging cushions. This process
resulted in saving 28 metric tons of polystyred plastic from landfills.
Cutting
Down on Emissions from Shipping
Compared to Sony’s previous BDP-S300 Blu-ray Disc™ model, the new BDP-S350 model reduced the overall
unit size by 55 percent, reduced packing material by 52 percent and reduced the unit’s total weight
by 38 percent. The compact size of the finished package allows Sony to reduce the C02 emissions
related to shipping by approximately 43 percent.
Reduce unnecessary power use with a TV
that switches to standby mode when no motion is detected.
Use less power than traditional
technologies with the exclusive Sony® HCFL backlight.
Turn off the power completely with a
flip of the switch and eliminate standby energy consumption.
With a screen that’s as thin as three credit cards, Sony’s XEL-1 changes television. It also breaks
new ground with a 1 million to 1 contrast ratio, outstanding brightness, accurate color
reproduction, and an exceptionally rapid response time. Coming Soon!
Enjoy the latest in HDTV performance with the BRAVIA Z-Series and W-Series televisions, featuring
Motionflow™ 240Hz technology. Incorporating advanced power saving features such as Light Sensor®
technology and Dynamic Backlight Control, these HDTVs exceed Energy Star® 3.0 guidelines for energy
efficiency by over 15% in Home mode.
BRAVIA S-Series HDTVs put Full HD 1080p and stunning contrast in reach, offering advanced image
processing features and a variety of HD input options at a great value. Energy Star 3.0 qualified.
What Is
High Definition And How Is It Different From Standard Definition?
High Definition or "HD" is a
technological leap forward from standard definition, with up to 6x the
picture resolution, so that what you see is sharper and more realistic. Regular TVs and the TV channels you watch
at home are typically in standard definition (unless you watch HD channels).
DVD are also in standard definition. Standard definition (480i & 480p)
is lower quality than high definition. Many older TV sets are standard
def, and can only show standard def content (programming). Many new
TVs are called High Definition TVs (HDTV). They are capable of showing
high def content in: 720p, 1080i, and 1080p, all high definition
formats, but 1080p provides the highest picture quality of them all. Click

How To Protect Your HDTV And Make It All
Work!
You've bought your ideal television or home
theater, but have you considered how you will protect it, or make it all
work together? It's not as complex as it might seem, but it is
important to consider, since devices may work differently, and have
incompatible modes. Plus after investing in your hardware, bad things
can happen to damage them.
MOST IMPORTANT: SURGE
PROTECTION If you have a
computer, you know all about surge suppressors and battery back-up UPS
devices. But do you have a UPS for your HDTV and Home Theater
system? HDTVs and Home Theater systems are just as susceptible to
surge and power damage as computers, so it is critical you add a very good
surge suppressor or UPS to your setup at once! Plus if you have a UPS, you'll be able to watch TV or listen to music if the power goes off! (for as long as the battery lasts of course!)
CONTROLLING IT ALL: ADVANCED
REMOTE CONTROLS Almost
every device you have came with a remote control, some even are called
Universal Remote Controls. But every device, HDTV, or Home Theater
component has special features and functions, not supported by the generic
Universal Remotes, especially if you want "One Button" control of several
devices at once. For these you need Advanced Remote Controls, that
not only control everything, but reduce it all down to One Button tasks
that even a Cave Man could operate!
GOT HELP? GET AN
INSTALLATION & SETUP SERVICE With some of
today's HDTV and Home Theater systems, you may want to consider getting
expert help from certified technicians that can quickly install your HDTV
on your wall, hide the cables and wires, balance the display settings and
the 7.1 surround sound, for the maximum in sound and picture quality.
You can still tell your friends and family that you did it, it will just be our
secret!
GET A GUARANTEED
BUYBACK FOR YOUR HDTV Another way to
protect your investment, given the changing pace of technology, is to add a
Guaranteed Buyback to your HDTV purchase. This will guaranty the
trade-in value of your HDTV a year or two in the future, when you will be
ready to upgrade to the latest technology.
