Sony has canceled the planned sale this spring in Japan of two portable MP3 digital music players because of problems with the built-in FM radio tuners, the company said Monday.
Sony’s new AZ-FS256 and AZ-FS1 MP3 players were announced last month and were supposed to launch under it’s Aiwa brand. According to Sony, the FM tuners in the units did not function properly and because of this, they could not release the product.
“It is extremely regrettable that this product could not go on sale, and we are very sorry this happened about a product we had announced,” Sony spokesman Daichi Yamafuji said.
