9-May-02

SONICblueô Incorporated (NASDAQ: SBLU) announced that it has enlisted LG Electronics to increase its manufacturing resources to keep pace with the heavy demand the company is experiencing for its products. SONICblue expects the additional outside resources, which are already active, to enable the company to meet short- and long-term demand from existing customers for the Go-Video-branded Dual-Deckô DVD/VCR players, and expand sales to additional national and regional retailers interested in selling these products. The Go-Video Dual-Deck DVD/VCR products are currently available at a wide range of national and regional outlets such as Circuit City, The Wiz, PC Richards, as well as at Costco, Sam's, and BJ's wholesale club stores. ""Year-to-date sales of our Go-Video line of Dual-Deck DVD/VCR products have greatly exceeded our initial expectations,"" said Ed Brachocki, Vice President of Video Products, SONICblue. ""We have an excellent relationship with our current manufacturer Samsung, and with the addition of LG Electronics' resources, we now have the added capabilities to meet increased market demand through this year and next."" Current offerings in the Go-Video Dual-Deck DVD/VCR line include the DVR4200 and the DVR4250. The DVR4200 is $229 MSRP and the DVR4250 is $249 MSRP.
