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.
