press release

Scottsdale, Ariz., June 7, 2000 -- Sensory Science Corporation (AMEX: VCR) today announced it has entered into a strategic relationship with PortalPlayer Inc. to jointly develop next generation digital media players as well as future digital products and technologies for the living room. PortalPlayer, a provider of end-to-end systems for playback and recording of digital media content for consumer electronics manufacturers, will work with Sensory Science to provide enhanced functionality and capabilities for the digital media player/recorder market. The PortalPlayer platform is the industry's first single chip solution supporting direct recording of CD content in MP3 file formats.

Utilizing this unique technology, Sensory Science's next generation portable digital media players will have the ability to directly record CD content in MP3 file formats without a PC, while remaining fully compliant with Secure Digital Music Initiative (SDMI) standards. The platform supports multiple decoding formats for playback, and its features are fully upgradeable through the download of new firmware. To date, PortalPlayer has announced support for MP3, Advanced Audio Codec (AAC), MicroSoft® Windows Media™ Audio, and QDesign decoder technology.

"We're excited to be working closely with PortalPlayer to develop the advanced technologies that will drive next-generation portable digital media players, and we expect that this is the first in a series of announcements detailing our initiatives to provide end-to-end solutions," said Roger Hackett, Sensory Science's chairman and chief executive officer. "PortalPlayer's innovative Internet music-ready platforms provide compelling capabilities to Internet music lovers, and fits directly with our strategy of providing consumers with the most convenient, advanced, feature-laden portable digital media players in the market."

Through its collaboration with PortalPlayer, Sensory Science can focus its resources on brand-level feature differentiation, which has been a hallmark of its digital media player strategy to date. In addition, Sensory Science gains the ability to be even more responsive to the emerging standards and technologies of this industry, particularly related to security and digital rights management. The consumer will benefit because both features and security systems can be easily upgraded, keeping the product at the forefront of technology long after the purchase.

"We specifically selected Sensory Science to be one of our early technology and marketing partners, because we think they're one of the up and coming companies that really 'gets it' when it comes to the future of digital media," said John Mallard, PortalPlayer's president and chief executive officer. "We look forward to a strong relationship with Sensory Science in both the development of technologies for the digital media player market as well as for future digital products for the living room."
