Could you tell me if there will be no problem in future guarantee for this device (I will register it on amazon.com)?
I have read at some forum that if the device was bought in japan (in some shop, not from amazon.co.jp) there is no guarantee from amazon.com or amazon.co.jp and I have to send it to a shop - is it truth ?
I have contacted amazon.com too, but they said only to not worry and first register the device on amazon.com

I have tried it before. Amazon US keeps a registry of serial numbers so they know where the set originates from. They will not honor service claims. You need to be able to speak Japanese and contact Amazon Japan for service.
That said, the lower price may be worth the risk. I didn't mind the risk myself when I had a Japanese set.
