How to Read Saturn Serial Numbers

SEGA-branded Saturn units follow a serial numbering convention that provides the following useful information: the location where the Saturn was manufactured, the year it was produced, the board (VA) revision, and the sequential number from the production run. Note that this serial system does not apply to non-SEGA Saturns, such as those from Samsung, JVC/Victor, and Hitachi.

The first character - a letter or a number - indicates the production location of the unit, such as various locations in Japan, Taiwan, etc. Each location has a unique number or letter. *Occasionally, this factory code can consist of two characters, but this is rare.
The second character - always a number - indicates the year of manufacture. 4 = 1994 (the Japanese launch units) through 8 = 1998, for the last units produced.
The third character - a number or letter - indicates the board revision. SEGA's console boards are named 'VAx', where x = the revision number. The original Saturn board is a VA0, so the character in the serial number would be a 0. After VA9, the system switches to letters. A VA10 board would be denoted as an 'A'. The final board, VA15, is noted as the letter F.
The last six characters are the serial number from the production run.

Please see the photo below for examples.

In this case, the serial number is AD65057646. The first letters (or letter combination) are the manufacturer’s code (in this example, ‘AD’), the first number after the manufacturer code is the year of production (‘6’, which refers to 1996), and the next number is the VA version (in this case, ‘5’). Therefore, this machine is a VA5.
