I use them all the time in Sonys with no problem. They test no differently from the Sony supplied parts in gain, junction bias, nor actual output level and timing in the circuit. I have even had some from Sony test with a gain of 7, where the minimum spec from Toshiba is 8. Could be variability in my tester, but the point is that there is no discernable difference in measurements or variability between individual parts. Leonard G.

It is made by Toshiba. I only order the ones from B&D and I have used them in Sony and RCA TVs and even some computer monitors.
