2 Check Firmware Version
CAUTION: If the player has the most recent firmware, there is no need to perform
a firmware update.
1. Turn on the main unit.
2. Select "Setup" on "HOME MENU" by using OK button on the remote control.
3. Press the [DOWN] arrow to select "Player Settings".
4. Press the [DOWN] arrow to select “System”.
5. Press the [OK] button.
6. Press the [DOWN] arrow to select “System Information”.
7. Press the [OK] button.
8. Press the [DOWN] arrow to select “Firmware Version Information”.
9. Press the [OK] button.
10. The firmware information will appear next to the heading “Main Version:”
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.
