Item 5. OTHER EVENTS.

      On March 23, 2001, SONICblue Incorporated (the "Company"), a Delaware
corporation, announced that it entered into an agreement to acquire ReplayTV,
Inc., ("ReplayTV"), a privately held Delaware corporation based in Mountain
View, California. Under the terms of the agreement, the Company will issue an
aggregate of 15.5 million shares of common stock and options and warrants to
purchase shares of the Company's common stock in exchange for all of ReplayTV's
outstanding equity interests, and ReplayTV will become a wholly owned subsidiary
of the Company. The agreement also provides that if the value of the Company's
common stock to be issued to stockholders of ReplayTV at the closing of the
transaction is less than $80 million, ReplayTV may terminate the agreement
unless the Company, at its option, either pays additional cash or issues
additional shares to bring the value at closing to $80 million. The acquisition
is intended to qualify as a tax-free reorganization and to be accounted for as a
purchase. Completion of the transaction is subject to regulatory and ReplayTV
stockholder approval, and the satisfaction of other customary closing
conditions.
