Zobaidy, .fw files are generally the factory full versions of the firmware, they contain certain files used to prepare the device, allocate memory for firmware to reside etc. These extra files are not copied to the player.

.bin files are usually extracted versions of firmware that just contain the players operating system.

Having said that, sometimes full version firmware will use the .bin extension.
