Locating the Software Version

  1. The easiest method is to turn your unit on. After the unit has stopped loading Press and Hold the View button.  This will pull up an express menu.  Scroll down and select System, then System Status.  
  2. (This option is on the start up screen) Press the Menu button for Start Up Options. Using your four way cursor button, scroll down and select System Status using the right cursor. This will pull up a screen showing the Software Version number in the middle of the screen. On this same screen you will see your unit Model name and Serial Number. If checking for software version, once you have completed this step, you can compare this version number to either our list of current software versions for all products or go to the Software Updates section of our site. Watch a short video on this method.
