  MANUALS & SOFTWARES

Where can I get latest software for Vestax devices?

• The original software for each Vestax product should be attached to the package (CD-ROM with registration number or SW label with a number of key).

  If you are buying a Vestax device from the bazaar (or already used), the seller should also provide you with the original installation CD-ROM with the software (or SW label with a original number of key) This rule is very important: seller must cancel its original registration with the SW manufacturer. If the seller does not cancel his own SW registration, then there will be problems with the your new registration (the same SW number of key).

  The original software is usually available on the official website of the SW manufacturer (most often in the Download section). However, keep in mind that you need to download a SW version that is compatible with your Vestax hardware and firmware! Since Vestax Corporation ceased production ten years ago, it is not always the latest version of software, that will work correctly with your Vestax device.

Where do I can download the User Service Manual or updates SW?

• User manuals for download can be found in the section MANUALS. The printed manual is always included with the newly purchased Vestax product. Every product supplied with us is accompanied by instructions, safety instructions, software and other information for consumers. If you need a different manual, or software update files or firmware or Vestax drivers, these services are available only at the appropriate fee. This service can be ordered in section Spare parts and accessories » Buy on e-shop.

Why do I have to pay for a Manual download?

• According to the law, the customer will of course receive the printed manual automatically for each new Vestax product. This concerns cases where you want to download another manual (an electronic version of PDF) because you lost the original printed manual or you bought a product from the bazaar and the seller's manual did not ship. In this case, the customer has to pay a flat fee for this service. Buy on e-shop.

What is the Vestax brand warranty?

• The standard warranty period for Vestax products is 12 months. For some special marked products, the warranty can be extended to 24 or 36 months. Products that are labeled "custom-made" or "bespoke" in our e-shop are subject to a 12 month warranty. All spare parts and accessories are provided for 3 months warranty period.

• We inspected the shipment very thoroughly before shipping. All sent original parts correspond to your order according to the official Technical documents & Service specifications of the manufacturer Vestax Corporation, Japan. If a part does not match, the possible reason is as follows: the Japanese manufacturer has reserved the right to change it in the past without prior notice (during production in factory, they were able to change the specifications of the components used for some series and this change was not mentioned in the official Vestax Corp. Technical & Service documentation). We are sorry but we cannot be held responsible for such changes.

Why should i pay for the Vestax Customer Card ?

• We are not the original company Vestax (as you can find on our website). Japan's Vestax Corp. went bankrupt in 2014 and left without help thousands of its customers. No technical support, no opportunity to buy spare parts and repair Vestax devices...The owners of Vestax devices suddenly found themselves "out of the game"... We started providing our Vestax Megastore and Services as a replacement. We are not responsible for the failure of Vestax Japan and we also have no obligations to their earlier customers. We are just  trying to help them.  But this help cannot be free. We are not a foundation but a trading company. Therefore, we have several rules and one of them is that we provide some services only to our customers who buy from us.
  
  In the past, a large number of our VIP & registered customers have objected to providing services for everyone free of charge. That's why we've introduced our Vestax Customer Card scheme; this will enable the availability of services for our registered customers but also for others customers under fair conditions. Thank You for support.

  GENERAL QUESTIONS

Is the same company as the manufacturer from Japan, Tokyo ?

• No, he went bankrupt in December 2014 (insolvency proceedings are ongoing). We took a company, that was the official distributor Vestax (we have an official agreement for brand representation and product distribution, which is still valid). Now we are gradually renewing it. E-shop and related services. We have also taken over their domains and websites. As the Vestax brand closed in Japan and apparently will not continue new production, it is not possible to get the new products elsewhere. The main trade business is the sale of various original spare parts Vestax, technical support and services, but Vestax isn´t our key business (we have completely different business interests, this is only a hobby or the nostalgia of our leadership). We don´t want brand awareness to disappear completely. Users still have the option to contact someone for replacement parts or technical support. But it is also necessary to say that we are not charity a business must thrive. We are currently redesign the website, we set up logistic process and we shape business tools.

Why do you have so many Vestax items on stock (many years after the end Vestax Japan) ?

• The former European distributor had a big stock of spare parts and accessories but he had never used. Everything remained closed and intact for several years. Also, we bought supplies (only brand new parts) from other former worldwide dealers or private sellers. We had some new parts re-manufactured at our partner in manufacturing facility in Asia, because we have complete technical and production documentation. Therefore, we have important Vestax components and original spare parts still available (update June 2020).

Future for the brand Vestax?

• The Japanese brand was in short trouble at the end of 2014 and in early 2015, insolvency proceedings were opened in Tokyo. Bankruptcy of Vestax Corporation Ltd. does not automatically absolute death of this brand forever. It will depend on the new investor who (for example) is interested in the legendary brand with more than 35 years of tradition. We believe the brand Vestax will come back once again; as the Terminator said, I'll be back ?
