Herri Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 To all MZ-RH10 owners:I had just received a Blue MZ-RH10 Hi-MD Recorder from Jun Ibaraki (eBay ID: buyfromjapan - a reputable seller from what I heard), and my unit came in with a bent outer-case. Specifically, the metal lining covering the sides of the unit are bent so that the seams are exposed on the top and bottom lip, with a 1-3mm depth for the opening gaps. I'm wondering if there are any other MZ-RH10 owners here on this board whom have experienced similar defects with their Hi-MD units, and if so, please share your experiences.This was quite displeasing, especially for paying $334 on it. I'm hoping that the eBay auctioner will be kind enough to replacement, or if it is replaceable by warranty. I could open it up and try to bend the metal back to the way it should be, but that would void my warranty. What to do... -Herri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ishiyoshi Posted October 4, 2005 Report Share Posted October 4, 2005 The unit was probably damaged during shipping. Do not attempt your own quick fix and contact Jun Ibaraki for an immediate resolution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do not attempt your own quick fix and contact Jun Ibaraki for an immediate resolution.Yeah, I thought shipping was at fault, too. Jun Ibaraki was very kind to offer a replacement, so as long as I send the unit to the specified address. But it almost seems that the casing has a natural inclination to be bent. This could be due to the particular design of the MZ-RH10, since I have never seen this occur on any other MD unit I've seen.I may go on to purchase an MZ-RH910/RH710 for a backup unit, since I don't want to bring much harm to the MZ-RH10. Oddly enough, the MZ-RH710 is starting to look mighty sexy (I used to think it looked a little cheap-ish).Now it's off to loading up my 5 Hi-MDs with MP3's so that I'll have something to listen to once the replacement unit comes in.-Herri Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Note there is also a DH710 downloader (no input or adapter charging only USB connection). The brushed silver metal surrounding the jog wheel is feels good and keeps finger prints off the black case.There are is a silver version around. I once saw a picture of a blue one but unfortunately can't remember where. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
