As far as I know it was started in England.

I am pretty sure British is the correct answer.

I did a little searching on the internet....
According to the Rotel site, the company was formed in 1961 by the "elder" Tachikowa and currently run by the son, Bob Tachikowa.
(One slight variation that I did come across was an audio site that listed the company as being founded in 1961 "by a Japanese audiophile" and then adopted by the Tachikowa family in 1979.)
Tachikowa's address is listed as the Rotel offices in Japan but all research and design are driven out of the UK (and mfg out of Hong Kong).
So while Rotel could ceremonially be called a Japanese company, operationally its a UK company.

Can anyone tell me if Rotel is a British company or a Japanese company? I read somewhere that it is British, but the website offers no information on the history of the company and one could surmise from the contact addresses that the headquarters is in Japan.

I just made a deal on a Panasonic PT AE 700 in Japanese that is sold in Japan. The deal was great but the menu is in Japanese. I would think there is a hidden menu in the unit to change the Language to the English language. I might have to learn Japanese to run the thing.
Any one has any... -
I ordered me a true British made Marshall head, made to their exacting standards, not some Vietnamese knock off like I have now that tore up in first 6 months. Just saying.
I ordered a JVM @ a better rate than site pricing. That helps.
