三洋マービック・メディア株式会社 (Sanyo Mavic-Media Co., Ltd.)
Japanese pressing plant.
This company was established in June 1, 1993 as a spin-off of Sanyo Japan, taking over Sanyo Japan's manufacturing in Anpachi-gun, Gifu Prefecture (岐阜県安八郡). The optical disc business was later sold off to Toemi Media Solutions Limited in April 2006.
Sanyo Mavic-Media Co., Ltd. pressings can be identified by the following means:
1. The matrix font on all Sanyo pressings is a fairly large dot-matrix.
2. "SA" present in the matrix of discs made in Japan. Some discs omit this.
3. As later Sanyo, U.S.A. discs do, Sanyo Mavic-Media Co., Ltd. discs seem to have a six-digit identifying code in the matrix. These codes, seeing as they are sequential, can be entered in the companies section. The following section will explain how to decode these:
A theoretical example is here GF911D:
Digit 1: an identifier of the LBR (laser beam reader) used to manufacture the glass master.
Digit 2: the year the glass master was produced. It can be a letter (A = 1990, B = 1991 up to Q = 2006).
Digit 3: the month the glass master was produced (1 = January to 9 = September, A = October, B = November, C = December).
Digits 4 and 5: the day the glass master was produced (01 to 31).
Digit 6: unknown (might have been the order of daily production for the LBR (laser beam reader), as is speculated with Sanyo, U.S.A.).
Some theoretical examples of matrix formats:
[catalogue number] BF316C
[catalogue number] BG822D SA
<[catalogue number]>GFB12D SA (This might only have appeared on Sanyo Mavic-Media Co., Ltd. pressings.)
Note that no spaces or dashes appear in the catalogue number part (BAT-010 becomes BAT010).
Note that Sanyo Mavic-Media Co., Ltd., having being spun off from Sanyo Japan after the introduction of SID codes, cannot have produced any discs without SID codes. It is, however, possible that Sanyo Japan glass masters, with an identifying code from pre-June 1st, 1993 (D601), were repressed by Sanyo Mavic-Media Co., Ltd. Such represses can usually be identified by the presence of a SID code.
