The serial number may or may not be on the box. Ask them to take a pic to check w/Denon and also ask for a pic of "Made in..." if possible!

3800H is made in Vietnam, 4800H in Japan. Very few differences between the two other than that - but you should check all of them as there are some. Many consider 3800H as better value than 4800H. 6800H is the step up model with more channels, better DACs etc. But is priced accordingly.

4800h is made in Japan exclusively. So does not seem your dealer is trustworthy. 3800h is quite similar, but also much cheaper.

Not heard of counterfeit Denon yet. Could be that dealer just has the wrong info as to 4800h origin, or as noted previously wants to sell 3800h as 4800h.

Sorry that I can't help more, but 4800H is just made in Japan according to Denon. Hope you sort out the rashomon episode you are experiencing with your dealer.

sorted out wholesale showed me images which shows japan i guess shopkeeper is too arrogant lol
I'd still be very reluctant to work w/a shop that got this info wrong. What kind of authorized seller doesn't have the capability to upsell a "made in Vietnam" 3800 to a "made in Japan" 4800? Think about all the hoops you have to jump through if there's something wrong w/the machine!

For the record, I have no issues w/"made in Vietnam" as I'm using a 3800 myself and have actually noted more issues w/the "made in Japan" Denons of late on forums (anecdotally speaking, of course)!
