General notes

- After an update your player settings will be resetted and need to be entered again (!).
- You can always downgrade. This means you can go back to a lower version after an upgrade.
- All firmware update are multi-language, keeping your original menu language intact.
- Current region settings are not affected. Even if you bought your player region free or used a chipped remote.
