YAMAHA offers a wide range of
products in the new category of
home theater enjoyment. In Japan,
Europe, and North America, sales
of home theaters and related prod-
ucts grew in the term under review.
In information and telecommuni-
cation devices, unit sales of leading-
edge 16X-write-speed CD-R/RW
drives increased, but fell in value
terms because of reduced unit prices
and the weak euro.
During the term under review,
YAMAHA moved all CD-R/RW
production units to Malaysia in an
attempt to cut costs. YAMAHA’s
highly acclaimed ISDN routers for
the SOHO and individual user
markets have continued to sell well
in Japan.
Due to these factors, sales for
this business reached ¥100.2 billion
(US$0.81 billion) and operating
income totaled ¥3.9 billion
(US$31.5 million).
In the next fiscal year, YAMAHA is
continuing to attach importance to
home theaters and working to pro-
vide total audiovisual solutions by
entering the market for visual prod-
ucts. Further efforts will include
developing dependable, high-speed
CD-R/RW drives and providing
routers adapted to new telecom-
munication infrastructures.
