Sony Walkman review

Monday, April 27th 2009 - 11:00 CEST - Comments: 0

S ony was founded by Masaru Ibuka and Akio Morita. It wasn't until the company changed its name to Sony Corporation that things really started to take off in the USA. Today, Sony is a renowned company because of its Playstation, VAIO computers, television sets, digital cameras and, of course, the new Sony Walkman series. The Sony Walkman NWZ-S639F belongs to the S-Series and is, just like its siblings of the A-series, equipped with a thin design and a music, photo and video mode. One thing the S-series does feature whereas the A-series does not, is the SenseMe function.

Watching videos on the Sony Walkman MP3 player

The monitor of the Sony S639F is crystal clear and displays videos in MP4 format excellently. The only disadvantage is the rather small size of the monitor, which means watching a video on the media player does not always prove pleasant. If you upload a video from your pc to the Sony NWZ-S639F, it is visible in the menu with an icon saying 'new' which enables you to quickly find your new videos. And if you turn the MP3 player of in the middle of watching a movie, or if the media player fails suddenly, the picture will resume automatically after turning the player on again. In video mode you can always switch between the music last played and the video, and vice versa with pressing the button once.

 

 

 

Sony Walkman test - SensMe Channels

The SensMe Channel function is a nice extra the NWZ-S639F offers. In this menu, with pressing the button once, all your music is sorted in 11 different channels, among which are Morning, Daytime, Night, Lounge, Acoustic, Electronic etc. It's funny to hear which music was sorted to which channel. In the morning, the MP3 player will play songs that guarantee an easy wake-up call, whilst at night music is played that lets you snooze off easily. Lounge, electronic, extreme etc. are quite obvious.
