2 Check Firmware Version
CAUTION: If the home theater system has the most recent firmware, there is no
need to perform a firmware update.
1) Press the [POWER] button on the home theater system to turn it ON.
2) Press the [SETUP] button on the remote control to display the home theater system’s
MENU.
3) Using the [UP ARROW] or [DOWN ARROW] on the remote control, highlight
DISPLAY and then press [OK].
4) Press and hold the [STATUS] button on the remote control to display the current
firmware version in the lower right corner of the DISPLAY screen.
The number displayed is
firmware version installed.
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 home theater system was manufactured after the firmware was released,
the firmware update may have already been installed.
If the home theater system was serviced by an authorized Panasonic service
center, a service technician may have already installed the latest firmware
update.
