    It has come to our attention that the CMT-SX7 marketed in Hong Kong may possibly display the following symptoms due to an issue with certain electrical parts:
    1. Music cannot be played back normally, some noise disturbance may experienced;
    2. High frequency signals, not audible to humans, may be experienced High frequency signals, not audible to humans, from the speaker or headphones. This would be at the sound pressure level equivalent to high volume headphones.
    3. The tweeter on the speakers may deteriorate due to its built-up temperature. If this occurs, there may be slight smoke visible or unusual odour. (These conditions do not damage the surrounding of the speaker.)
