I disagree. Inside my Aiwa XR-H66MD is definitely different than most
Sony equipment that I've seen. Aiwa uses Sony parts, and that's as far
as the similarities go as far as I can tell. However, just about all my
audio equipment from other manufacturers uses Sony parts too (as well as
Motorola, TI, Matsushita, Siemens, Burr-Brown, etc.). My XR-H66MD
doesn't operate like any of my Sony MD recorders either, and its Service
Mode is VERY different than Sony's. I think many Aiwa models don't
share the same PCB's with any Sony-branded unit.
