Are there any differences between the Black and the Champagne model? The Black units have a more recent manufacture date.

The chassis color is it.

RP91 latest firmware is H088 50G227. To check what version you have, just press Stop, Pause, Open/Close button at the same time with one hand and then press 7 on remote control with your other hand. Look at last 3 digits. I have the latest firmware on disc.

That sequence works for me to display firmware revision. I have the latest. I also noticed pressing #9 on remote initiates a quick led/display check (ie. everything possible lights up).


OK, CKNA, do you have any idea what all the test modes do (number 1-6 on remote?


Also, I take it by your statement that RP-91 firmware can be upgraded via a special disc (rather than EEPROM programming or replacement)? That's good to know for future reference.

I can upload iso image if somebody will provide space for it.

It needs about 22MB.

Panasonic provides DVD recovery disc which is listed in service manual. In reality it is a firmware disc. Anybody can order it for $10 but the one they send right now only has 188 firmware.

I have 227 firmware because I downloaded it from actual player.

Subject: DVD Player



I just registered my DVD player that I purchased.


I wish to check two items. Can you tell me based on the Serial Number that it is a USA warranted model and NEW not a refurb.


MODEL: DVD-RP91

SERIAL: KV1EA002041

MANUF: May-2001


Also the firmware revision is several revisions old. I am told that I can receive and update disc that the unit will load.

My VERSION = H088 50G155.


Thank You for your assistance!

Dear Panasonic Customer,


Thank you for your inquiry. We regret to inform you that the serial number

does not reveal if the unit is refurbished or not. The serial number also

does not indicate if the unit is a US model or not.


We regret to inform you that there is no such disc you can purchase to

change the firmware of the DVD player.


Should it be necessary to send a reply; to ensure our prompt response,

please mailto:consumerproducts@panasonic.com Please note; when responding,

include or attach this message.



Sincerely,

Representative 13
