Sony (6758) To Double Output Of Set-Top Boxes

[ Back to the News | Back HOME ]

Nikkei English News via NewsEdge
Corporation : TOKYO (Nikkei)--Sony Corp. is
preparing to double its production of
SkyPerfecTV set-top boxes by July,
projecting a jump in demand when new
channels on the digital satellite broadcasting
service are added that month.

Sony will lift its monthly output of the
set-top boxes from 20,000 to 40,000,
increasing the number of integrated
assembly teams from two to three. It will
also accelerate production of its two lines in
Aichi Prefecture that produce the core
control panels.

Sony started marketing a 57,000-yen,
set-top box for SkyPerfecTV in April, but
demand has thus far outstripped production.
