Are there any other transistors on the board or just these 4, some basic players may only have 2 transistors per channel.

These transistors appear to be a PNP/NPN complementary pair which to me is unusual in a basic player amp, when used typically would be in an output stage driving a speaker, (although these particular transistors are not really power output type) in that case there would be other transistors. Does this player have internal speakers ?

A photo of the player and its PCB would be interesting to see.
