Note: SQ5016(CY), WH20, and SDR6116M are named in Chiayo's original documentation but don't match any product currently stocked under those exact codes. The closest current equivalents (SQ-6100-IRDA handheld mic, MC72 headset mic, SDR-8100M-IRDA receiver) are different-generation parts with different channel counts, so they haven't been substituted. Flagging for confirmation with Chiayo/distributor on whether these are superseded or discontinued.
