Sanyo Electric, an established maker of optical drives and components, will produce both components and players for the blue-laser-based HD-DVD format, the company says.
Sanyo cites ease of manufacturing as its reason for siding with the new format. The company is the third major Japanese maker of digital consumer products to announce its support for HD-DVD (which stands for High Definition/High Density-DVDs). Earlier this summer, NEC and Toshiba both threw their weight behind HD-DVD, announcing plans to launch hardware in 2005. Toshiba plans to release a home player and possibly a recorder, while NEC plans a drive for use with computers.
