is there a webpage I can go to, to find out how to check what version of firmware I curently have installed on my Panasonic DVD recorder before I go and try to update it?? also, I notice that on some recorders the firmware has been updated 4 or 5 times, my question is do I have to update with each version of firmware to get all of the changes, or does the latest version have all previous changes from previous firmware updates?
Not sure which model you have. Go to the Panasonic website, choose "Consumer Electronics" and "Support", and you'll find the most current firmware file to download under the "Support and Resources" tab. I'm fairly certain the firmware upgrades are cumulative. If the most recent file version available for download won't "take" when loaded into your DVR, it was already installed.
