Does anyone know if this player is made in Japan or China?

You can see on picture of back side of the player,on Marantz web site, that it is made in China.

China i believe. It doesn't have the feel of a high end machine, and the remote especially looks and feels kind of cheap. And on mine the open/close button on the machine stopped working right after about a month, but the button on the remote still works fine to open and close it. And apart from that it works well and indeed plays multiregion DVDs seemlessly, so I would buy it again and would recommend it to friends. I've been using it about 8 months now.

The Model/Serial Number label on my unit shows Model # NS-WAC10. However, close examination of the fine print indicates "Made in China". Perhaps Zojirushi has misrepresented this item to AMAZON. As to the quality: The quality is equal to that of a different model Zojirushi I gave to my son, and that one indicated "Made in Japan".

xavier, I bought this DVD player because I saw it described on another site as being able to play all regions' DVDs. I was disappointed when I tried to watch a DVD from Japan, only to get the "incompatible disc region message". I called Pioneer for clarification and they said it is illegal for U.S. manufacturers to build DVD players that can play any region other than Region 1 (USA). So unfortunately, you will not find one built in this country (legally) that will be compatible with anything else. Additionally, I had the idea to just buy a Japanese DVD player, but after checking Amazon Japan, I think they said it's illegal for them to export DVD players to foreign countries. As far as "unlocking" regions, that would require installing a pirate chip, again illegally, and I don't even know if such a thing exists for this model of DVD player. So I guess I have to become a criminal if I want to watch DVDs unavailable in this country. Good to know our government is protecting us so thoroughly.

Maybe if you live in Asia. Email Sony directly. Everything in the box is in japanese.

I have no idea. I just know it is a great portable player and it has great sound. You would have to check the manufacturers information or talk to someone that is more knowledgeable in the area of electronics. Sorry

I'm sorry I am unable to answer that. I never bothered to look at the warranty. I have never purchased any item from Amazon that would've given me cause to need a warranty. I've never had any trouble with this player and it gets pretty heavy use from the. Sorry I cannot be more help . A fellow customer.

I'm sure mine was made in Japan, do not know if they are made elsewhere now. Very well built.

This one is made in Japan. I read in forums that there were (possible) knock-offs at a cheaper price made in China so I went with the reputable dealer to make sure I got the right station. Still love it, doing some delicate soldering that would have been impossible with my previous station.

Add me to the list of those who will never buy a Sony product again. Once Sony establishes that a product is selling well, they turn the manufacture over to their factories in China. If you can, check to see where your unit was made. The workmanship on Sony's "made in Japan" products is light years ahead of their shoddy "made in China" products. Sony's customer service is a nightmare. The people who work their No Help Desk don't speak English very well; they have a computer screen of prompts in front of them and they run through the list. If what's on their screen doesn't resolve your problem, they may try to run through the list of questions a few more times, or fob you off with a promise to call you back. Apparently, they don't listen (or can't understand) the customers. Even when they can't complete first call resolution, the front line "service desk" people seem to have a complete horror of escalating a call, whether to their supervisor or to a higher level of tech support. It makes you wonder if they are docked or disciplined for passing calls up the line. Sony had a wonderful reputation, but they are throwing it away with both hands.

It is made in China. I am very pleased with the sound and am using it with a Yamaha electronic piano and a microphone. It is compact, well built and not too heavy to easily transport.

Hello David, It is Designed and Engineered in the USA (MA,) but is made in China. The sound is amazing on this receiver.

It seems like it was manufactured in China. I dont have the original Box it came in but there is a made-in-china sticker under the receiver. I also noticed a name - Shenzhen Ruijing Industrial Co. ltd. - on the adapter. But I'm not so sure if they are the actual manufacturer or just the distributer.

Japan. I had a query about my machine ( it did not play back all recorded tracks) and the repairer had to query it with Japan as they could not deal with it in the UK without further information. Keith

No idea. Bought it used without original box. Does made in Japan mean anything to you?

China, not Japan. Hitachi corporate is in Japan. Read the label carefully. My 15 year old version was made in Singapore.

That's because it's made in China and not Japan. Lower quality, will not hold a charge as long as one made in Japan.
