Happy Hopping Posted December 27, 2004 Report Share Posted December 27, 2004 I am very impressed with my newly arrived Sony NH1 just arrived from Japan on Dec 23rd, talk about perfect timing, just in time for Christmas. I always like to reward myself at Christmas time for a job well done in this entire year. I got mine NH1, in gold color as I wanted, confirmed my one is in fact made in Japan, vs. the local North America ver., which is made in Malaysia. I bought the unit for only US$369, which came with an exra Hi-MD blank media. Shipping is $30, w/ $8 for insurance. I then go to local Sony store to get a DC 6V adapter for $20 or so. I then downloaded the English ver. of the manual from this web site in PDF file, and finally I went to the link above to downloaded the english ver. of Sonic Stage 2.3. I am very impressed with the unit, especially how small and light it is. The picture that we saw are enlarge, so it is hard to imagine how small it is until you hold it in your hand. This will be a fun Christmas to do songs transfer. I also want to let you guys know about the ebay dealer, "Sell2ppl" who sold me the unit. Excellent service, fast and efficient, he sells all sorts of MiniDisc units from Japan, not just the NH1, just do a search under Sell2ppl at ebay, or email him at <sell2ppl@yahoo.com>. I can't find a better price than his of the very same gold color NH1 that is made in Japan. I know the North America ver. is cheaper in same price, but for the quality, I like my NH1 made in Japan vs. made in malaysia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malaysia? I thought all NH1s were made in Japan, like all previous top-of-the-line models. There was a rumour going round that some NH1s were made in Malaysia, but no proof surfaced. Incidentally my Singapore silver NH1 was made in Japan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Skradgee Posted December 28, 2004 Report Share Posted December 28, 2004 I just double checked the back of my MZ-NH1. My girlfriend got it from Datavision and it was made for sale in Canada (the sticker has French and English on the back), :cool: and it was defenitly made in Japan. I think all the models made for North America are the same. They just change the label on the back for whichever country it is being shipped to for sale, so it can be stated that the device complies with the FCC and whatnot. Happy Minidiscing, yall.

Happy Hopping Posted January 2, 2005 Author Report Share Posted January 2, 2005 that's strange. The sony store that I went to has no stock. So I asked the asst. manager who country made it, and he said "made in malaysia." Regardless, I really like the gold color, so either way I have to buy it from Japan.

I have found their information to be often unreliable myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
