Hi everyone, I've got a real stupid question that I hope someone can help me out on. I was having a hunt round the web and found a firmware update for the Panasonic E55 on the Panasonic US support site. If anyone wants it the link is:
http://www2.panasonic.com/webapp/wc...oads?storeId=15001&langId=-1&page=DVDFirmware
(If it doesn't work, just go to the .com address, click on "Product Support" then "Driver Downloads" and finally "DVD Recorders")
Anyway, it seems a pretty straight forward update but just as I was going to stick the CD in the machine a thought hit me. Will this upgrade do anything nasty to my region setting? This is currently a multi-region machine but I don't mind loosing that particular bit of functionality as it's no longer my main player. But having the machine reset itself to be a Region 1 player would be fairly disastrous and as the new firmware does come from America....
So, anyone have any ideas on this, or for that matter has anyone actually done this update themselves yet? I know I'm probably being too paranoid but....
Thanks in advance,
Steve.
