Re: [slim] Firmware confusion

It usually runs the same version as the latest officially released version of SBS. At present there is an exceptional case where SBS is still at 7.5.3 and MySB is at 7.5.4. That is why you need to go to 7.5.4, as recommended by Kuben72, to avoid the firmware upgrade/downgrade when you switch music

Thats because mysb runs at 7.5.4 and that version needs another firmware in the players. So when you switch to mysb it upgrades the players firmware to 133 and when you switch back to SBS it downgrades the players to firmware 130. Its been like this always. If you want to avoid this then upgrade
