Product Accessibility Information Summary Report
Sony has developed the following Summary and Detailed Reports
of Accessibility Information for select products. We hope that this information
will be helpful to U.S. Government purchasers as they make purchasing decisions
in light of the requirements of Section 508 of the U.S. Rehabilitation Act.
The following Summary Report sets forth each of the major
categories from the accessibility standards of the Architectural and
Transportation Barriers Compliance Board (36 CFR Part 1194) and denotes which of
these standards we feel is applicable to each Sony product and, in turn, which
are supported by features of the Sony product. The Detailed Report delineates
each of the specific "Electronic and Information Accessibility Standards" set
forth in the Board's standards and explains the specific features of the Sony
product that support particular standards.
The Sony® Digital
Instrumentation Recorders DIR™ -1000 series contains numerous accessibility
features as described on the following pages.
