Hazard

The audio unit (manufacturer: Sony Corporation, model: XR-5H911, XR-5H912) in the wiring board of the audio equipment has damaged capacitors due to improper manufacturing processes. Continued use in this condition may cause a short circuit between the capacitor terminals, resulting in excessive current flowing to the speakers, generating heat, and potentially leading to fire.
