Follow the steps below to check the firmware version currently installed in your Panasonic DVD recorder.

Steps
1. Turn on the main unit.
2. Press the [FUNCTION MENU] button on the remote control to open the display menu screen.
3. Using the Up and Down cursor buttons on the remote control, select the "Others" tab.
4. Using the Up and Down cursor buttons, select the "Setup" tab.
5. Select the "Display" tab - "Display" items will appear.
6. Press the "STATUS" button on the remote control. The current firmware version for your recorder will be displayed in the lower right hand corner of the screen (e.g. "1.1").
   Please make note of this version number.
   

Note:
You may not be able to find any version number at the lower right hand corner of the screen (as on the screen illustration above). The reason is that the DVD recorder with software version 1.0 does not have the function to indicate current firmware version number. In this case, the software version of your Panasonic DVD recorder is Ver.1.0.

Confirm the latest firmware version that is available for "the Model Number of your DVD recorder" by referencing the "Update Information" section provided above (near the top of this page).

Please compare this firmware version number to the version number of the firmware currently installed in your Panasonic DVD recorder (the firmware currently installed in your Panasonic DVD recorder was checked in "Step 1").

• If the version of the firmware installed on your Panasonic DVD recorder and the latest firmware version available are the same
    >>No update is necessary.
• If the version of the firmware installed on your Panasonic DVD recorder is lower than the latest version available
    >>Updating is recommended - Please continue to step 3

Note:
The firmware for your Panasonic DVD recorder may not need to be updated even though a firmware update has been released - for example.

• If your Panasonic DVD recorder was manufactured after the firmware was released and the firmware update has already been installed.
• If your Panasonic DVD recorder was serviced by an authorized Panasonic service technician the recorder was updated with the latest firmware.
