Question

How to find out the manufacture date of my SONOS components

I have 7 different SONOS components and want to know the mfg. date.

I see the most recent registration date - but that is not helpful.

Thanks

    Look at the data plate, the first digits in the serial number are the date.

    Yep.  YYMM is the format.

    Thanks - I found that answer on another post from a google search.

    The first Connect Amp shows 1305  00  then the Serial #.

    The next component shows 1109 00 then serial #. That could be Nov 2009.

    Not working on the first one though… 1305. I also know this product did not exist yet in 2005.

    Am I not reading this correctly?

    Got it…   year/month makes sense.

    Thanks to you and Stanley :thumbsup:

    Could 1909 be year/month?

    I think thats right. Maybe the D102 is a reference for Gen2.

    Not sure we’ll ever get a Sonos rep to respond, but I have to wonder if the D102 is a test device that wasn’t ever supposed to get into the sales channel, hence the odd serial number.

    I have a vague recollection that the D number did indeed indicate a device designed for beta testing that testers were not supposed to sell. I am a bit hazy over the exact details though.
