I take it that since you have the manual, and still do not know what the
serial code is, it is not in the manual (what a mind, eh?).  This is
exactly what I need to know, however.  Henry's suggestion to ask a Sony
rep for the information was obvious, but I forgot to include the fact
that I have had very little luck in getting a `complete' set of
information from manufacturers in the past.  I once needed to know some
video filter characteristics for an RCA CCD camera, so I ordered the
schematics, having told the rep what I needed.  When they arrived,
everything was there EXCEPT this one section which had been cut out with
scissors!  Want to guess which section it was?  The one knowledgeable
person I talked to in my search for this Sony information said that he
would be very surprised if I could get this info from Sony (the serial
code format, that is).  That's why I was asking the net.  Thanks.
