Panasonic Plasma Firmware Upgrade: TH-42PZ77U, TH-42PZ700U and TH-42PZ700UA
Found something of interest to Panasonic Plasma owners:
Dear Valued Panasonic Customer:
At Panasonic, we are constantly working to improve your satisfaction with our products. As such, we would like to inform you that a firmware upgrade has been made available for the following Panasonic Plasma Television models: TH-42PZ77U, TH-42PZ700U and TH-42PZ700UA.
If you own one of these models, you can perform the plasma firmware upgrade yourself. Click on the Self Service tab above to verify if an upgrade is required for your Panasonic Plasma Television set and download it yourself. If you'd rather receive the firmware by mail, click on Order Firmware.
The main purpose for performing this upgrade is to improve the reliability of your television. You can continue to use your television as you normally would after the upgrade is completed. Panasonic takes great pride in excellent quality, and customer satisfaction is our number one goal.
Your patronage as a satisfied Panasonic customer is valued and highly appreciated.
Thank you.

UPDATE! These links went bad within a few days of this blog, so here's a new link to the
firmware download... without instructions (unless they're contained in the download itself).

Not sure why the link died... it's still on their own consumer support page as a very recent announcement (maybe it will start working later).
