4dtv date of manufacture

[dobiegillis]

Guys, i am confused about the date of manufacture of a dsr-922. I understand the 7th digit of the receiver number is the year date of manufacture, and the 8th,9th and 10th digit the julian day of year. Try this one=000-03179-70149-129. Would this be a 1997 birthdate and 97th julian day? Someone said that starting in 97 the cord was built in. This one isn't.

I am not sure that you read the right number.

To tell the date you use the 7th digit of the serial number on the back of the unit. It kind of sounds like you have the receiver number that is displayed when you use the menu.

Egg on my face, ignorant error on my part. I thought they was the same. Thanks Dishman.k:

That's good to know, mine was made in 05, I thought I had it longer then that.
