Anyone remember how the serial number (first two digits)/Age of product relationship works?
I had it from a post on the old forum but of course it is no longer available.

Serial number/Age relationship

😂😂 I was about to ask something similar.
Can we have a page of popular older equipments serial numbers and the age relating to them?

Anyone?
Here you go!
The first two numbers relate to the approximate year of manufacture. If a product was made just before everyone went home on Dec 31st 2003, it will be one digit out from a 2004..
Okay..
09 - 1994
10 - 1995
11 - 1996
12 - 1997
13 - 1998/99
14 - 2000
15 - 2001
16 - 2002
17 - 2003/04
18 - 2004/05
19 - 2006/07->
Hope this helps

Hi there,
@ Lee - This is exactly the sort of info I used to store in the "my space" or "my controls" area in the old Beoworld, that I lost in the upgrading. Do you think there is a way we will be able to retreave this ? Cheers and congratulation again for the new site !

Many thanks Lee
the serial number of my besound3 begins with 94. 😐
Some products differ, but it will be in there!
Some V8000's and DVD1's have the Serial (for example) 9148345432 - but you just need to ignore the 9 at the beginning..

Is there any chance we could have an article written up covering this topic and posted on the main site?

Yes, of course.
I am currently sorting out 'teething issues' which are now pretty much done, and after that i will be spending 1-2 days a week full time updating articles, news, FAQ's etc - as will Steve. This ought to create a pretty comprehensive database over the months/years!
