Thanks Tom,

God help you if you buy one abroad.

WARNING - DO NOT BUY ANY SHARP GOODS FROM JAPAN!!!

I bought one in Japan, but the US won't honour the guarantee.
I think they should put a warning on their web site...
"Don't buy a minidisc abroad, because even if it is
defective we won't care!"
Does anyone on this list know someone sufficiently important in
Sharp to care about this?
Here is what customer support said:

Inconvenience! What an understatement
Of course if you go to www.sharp.co.jp you get a page full of Kanjji

Yes on a MD-MS701H(S)2. Took the unit back, the shop replaced it. New
one has worked fine ever since.
