Major Products
Despite robust sales of LCD TVs and hard disk
camcorders, segment sales in Japan were
down as a result of the poor performance of
DVD equipment and MD audio products.
Growth in sales of HD-ILA hybrid projection
TVs in the United States and video cameras
outside of Japan were hampered by lower
sales of CRT TVs and the streamlining of the
DVD equipment lineup due to quality issues,
resulting in flat overseas sales.

Although sales of motors for hard disk drives
gained ground, segment sales decreased

to narrow the focus of the business.
