Mine, like it's owner, doesn't play by the rules it's #090000695 the date is right (Sept. 2000) but I have a Mk2 looks like it would have a 2 in there somewhere. The serial number was on a sticker on the back near the jacks below a barcode.
I always thought the player just got the number from the owner when Emplode was installed, you have to type it in at the beginning of the install.
BTW-On the players 'about' menu what is the seemingly cryptic MAC 00:12:00:d7:12:02:b7?

#695-Mk2/8 colors-12Gig w/Tuner- awaits v2.x & Voice Recog.
