Will consulting to big corporations regarding lighting or electronic products require insurance?

If you are working with large comapnies they will generally require that you have insurance. Their specific demands may vary but typically you will see the following:

General Liability Professional Liability Worker's Compensation (If you are a sole proprietor it is generally not necessary) Automobile liability ($1 million is common)

** If you were selling a product to these companies you speak of a GL policy would suffice to CYA for product related claims for BI & PD however the instant you tell the insurance carrier your operations are not product related but service oriented (acting as a consultant) they will slap a "professional services" exclusion on your GL policy before you can blink. This exclusion erases any coverage you might have had for claims against your company for services performed for a fee.

You'll need to secure a Professional Liability policy OR E&O depending upon the exact category / scope of your operations to provide your firm with coverage for consulting work.

If the consulting is done as an added service to facilitate the sale of your product then this whole dilemma can sometimes be resloved without the need to purchase a separate PL or E&O policy by the broker negotiating with the insurance companies.

All-in-all you should secure (at the very least) the following types of insurance with adequate limits and deductibles:

General Liability

Property

Professional / E&O

Workers compensation

Employment Practices Liability (if you have employees or plan to have employees)

Umbrella / Excess

Pollution (depending on who your clients are and the scope of your operations)

Auto

This information is simple (AT BEST) and this issue is much more complex than mentioned here and must be discussed with your agent. Coverage varies greatly so be sure to discuss ALL terms and conditions with a knowledgeable agent or broker. If your operations are large enough, you should attract the attention of talented brokers... or at least scare away the dummies. Beware of the contracts & agreements you will enter into with the larger companies as they can impose liabilities on you which are broader than the coverage contained within your insurance policies.

What are the strengths and weaknesses of Sony corporation?

StrengthsSubstantial Brand Identity

Sony is a corporate brand whose identity is deeply rooted and very well established in the minds of potential customers. The brand remains healthy despite dropping from 25th to 29 in name recognition according to InterBrands 2009 ranking. Interbrand valued Sony brand at $11 million.

Global Diversification

Sony products and services are available throughout the world in approximately 200 countries and territories. The United States market accounted for 17.9% of the revenues, Europe (13.9%), and others (25.8%), while Japan consisted of the largest segment at 42%. This diversification helps to minimize the impact of adverse conditions that may arise in any one geographic region.

WeaknessesDownward Trending Revenues

Four major Sony division experienced revenue losses in 2009, specifically Electronics down 17%, Games down 18%, Pictures down 16.4% and Financial Services down 7.4%.In the U.S Revenues were down 15.4 %, while revenues in Japan fell 15.2%.

Poor Proximity of Production to Customers

Sony's production facilities are located far from its customer base. Approximately 60% of the annual production in Japan must be distributed to for other regions. In FY2009, the group produced 50% of the electronics segment's total annual production in Japan.

Substantial Retirement Benefit Commitments

The unfunded status of the pension liabilities (approximately $3.6 billion) increased at a rate of 62% over 2008. Sizeable unfunded post retirement benefits would force the company to make periodic cash contributions, diverting money away from production related uses.

I have a Sony KDL-46EX720 and I'm trying to connect it to my 5.1 Surround Sound system The TV will not allow me to connect it directly so do I need a receiver What kind do I need?

You need a receiver with an HDMI output, such as the Sony STRD series of receivers. Your '5.1 Surround System' sounds either like a surround speaker set with no amplifier, or a system designed for computers. The Sony receivers will amplify passive (non-powered) speakers, but the subwoofer will need to be powered. You will then need to purchase a DVD or Blu-Ray player with an HDMI output.

Alternately, you can purchase a Blu-Ray Home Theatre system, which includes the BluRay player and receiver (1 unit), and matching speakers. The Sony BDVE systems are a good place to start.

What are the technical specs of a Sony SA-W542 Superwoofer?

I recently came across one of these. It's a bandpass design(I believe) with some sort of 'active' compensation- It uses an "STK" chip. Seems to be a subwoofer with ability to also power front/rear speakers. I'd (also) like to hear/see more on this unit.

Does Samsung manufacture LCD panels for Sony?

Yes they do, although that may change soon, see: http://www.engadget.com/2008/02/23/your-next-sony-lcd-tv-may-actually-be-a-sharp/

Sony, like many other manufacturers use parts from others. It may be possible for Sony to have a Samsung display in their LCD panels, and of course, I've seen many Sony chips in other brands.

Each manufacturer has its areas of expertise and it's not unusual (for economics) to purchase from someone else. Doesn't necessarily mean that there are any incompatibilities because of this, because each manufacturer will design the electronics around the parts that they choose to use.
