CAUTION: Compare the current firmware version displayed to the firmware
version received or downloaded. If they are the same, or the firmware version
displayed in the player is higher, there is no need to install the firmware.
Reasons why the player may have a more recent firmware version:
If the player was manufactured after the firmware was released, the firmware
update may have already been installed.
If the player was serviced by an authorized Panasonic service center, a service
technician may have already installed the latest firmware update.
The number displayed is
dependent upon the
firmware version installed.
