FYI, here is the reply from Panasonic:
**************** copy & paste ***************
Dear MR (.. cut.. )
Thank you for your inquiry. You are not able to view the current firmware
version on the DVD Recorder. The only way to determine if you have the
most recent update is to try to install the firmware. If the unit
displays an unsupported message, that will indicate your unit has the most
recent update.
To obtain additional troubleshooting assistance for your product, please
contact our Panasonic Customer Call Center at (800)211-7262. The hours of
operation are Monday through Friday 9 AM to 9 PM. Saturday and Sunday 10
AM to 7 PM Eastern Standard Time. A representative will be available to
assist you. Please have your case number, which is listed at the top
portion of your email, available at the time of the call.
Thank You,
Panasonic Consumer Support

LOL - in the real world, there is a CE out there somewhere that knows
the magic button pushing sequence - or has software on a CD that
will do it :-)
