CD players sold in Japan can work in US with no problem?

I found Marantz CD players sold in Japan and US have a slightly different specs on power and frequency.
For Japan models, it says 100V~ and 50/60Hz. 
For US models, it says 120V~  and 60Hz.
So, those sold in Japan can work in US without any problem? Or, vice versa?
I would think so, but just want to make sure whether the 20V difference would make any difference.

Many thanks.
So far, I have purchased a few electrical items from Japan, assuming that 100V would be no problem with 120V. They were all cheap electric devices under $100, and used very occasionally, and I haven't had any problem so far.
I was looking for something over $1K Marantz CD player from Japan and I wanted to make sure that it would not have any problem. It appears like I'd rather look for something else made for US usage.
