SME Brasil

SME Brasil (Sony Music Entertainment Brasil), when found in the disc matrix, refers to Sony Music Entertainment (Brasil) Ind. E Com. Ltda.'s new facilities in Manaus-AM focused on the production of digital media. CD manufacturing began in 1994, followed by DVD manufacturing later on. In 1998 the facilities were renamed as Sony Music Manaus Ind. E Com. Ltda., but matrices continued to be produced with the inscription SME Brasil until 2004. In 2004, Sony Disc Manufacturing unified all its international manufacturing facilities (excluding Japan) under the Sony DADC moniker, after which time the SME Brasil name was replaced by Sony DADC Brasil in the disc matrix. When SME Brasil is found in the disc matrix as 'MASTERED BY SME BRASIL', please use the Glass Mastered At role in LCCN. When the letters 'S M B' are stamped in the inner hub area, a Pressed By Sony Music Brasil role can be assigned in addition to Glass Mastered At.
