Thank you.
By the way, when I checked the Pioneer website, I found that the firmware for the BDR-211M is 1.5x (1.51, 1.52, 1.53...), but the BDR-211M I have is 1.02. Do you know why this is?

Here you see that they started with 1.02 and then switched to 1.5x.

The 211 is the OEM version of S11 w/o software.
