doenst mean much these days if they're from Sony....

Lol, I know what you mean. I think the N1 was made in Japan but had serious issues with the ribbon cable.

Oh, back to topic, I think the high price is because it is now rare and it's the flagship model for the first generation for Hi-MD, it means something. Also it looks sleek and everyone loves it.

RH1's for most regions are made in China. And they look like that! But they sound as promised, and even better...

As far as I am aware the RH1 for all regions is made in Malaysia as Sparda says. We have some pictorials of units from all regions and they all indicate they are made in Malaysia.

A fake from SonyStyle with an official SONY warranty? Very interesting.

If it says "Made in Malaysia" on the bottom of the unit, then it is made in Malaysia. If it says nothing, then it is made in China. This is common with SONY.

Not a serious problem though. I have a 3-years old Panasonic DVD-S75, which says that it is made in China. Plays really fine. Picture quality is excellent. Sound quality is superb. Official Chinese production, as opposed to fakes, is nothing to be afraid of.

On the other hand my SONY DCR-TRV460E Digital8 camcorder, which is made in Japan, is nothing to be proud of. The recording/digital section is very fine (when fed an external signal), but the optical/sensitive part is not as good as it used to be with SONY some 15 years ago. I am mostly using the camcorder for transferring my old recordings to the digital domain.

I've attached an image of the bottom of one of my RH1s (the other is exactly the same). Sorry for bad quality - it is the poor TRV460E in photo mode...

My RH1's back looks the same, but I don't think this is a sign of a RH1 made in Japan, or is it?. On the manual stands: "Printed in Malaysia" (which means probably nothing at all).

Convince me ;)
