You didn't add Garden State to the non-working list.

The Masters of Cinema Silent Running worked on my DMP-BT300.

LosingMyMind · 03-14-12, 03:22 PM

Stir of Echoes 2 works.

Franchot · 03-14-12, 09:27 PM

Dracula, Prince of Darkness works.

(Maybe listing titles that don't work would be easier?)

That's what I figured. Someone might want to know before ordering if something will work. Made sense to me.

Obviously, this is a great information source.
Has anyone tried playing the following: Went The Day Well or the new AE Mizoguchi Collection?

No problem with that

. Just thought that with so many titles working you'd have a lot of work keeping the list updated. But if you don't mind, I'm all for keeping a running tally of working titles.

I just tested my player, DMP-BD65, with the only Region B Blu-ray I have, Shaolin Soccer.

It worked! I had to press 3 and OK though.

LosingMyMind · 03-23-12, 02:19 PM

Highlander: Endgame works! I'm very pleased about this one

HockeyMan2000 · 03-27-12, 07:22 PM

Just tried it on my Panasonic DMP-BDT110 and it works! The player doesn't do PAL, so it loaded EL CID with a black screen until the movie started...worked flawlessly from then on.

LosingMyMind · 04-05-12, 03:14 AM

Choke and Mercy would not work.

Darryl · 06-20-12, 07:54 PM

Buyer beware...I have an all region blu ray player in my living room-I also have over 200 region B locked discs. So I figured I'd give the Panasonic DMP BD60 a try to have an extra all region player in our bedroom...hooked it up, used the exact directions given by the original poster and it DOES NOT Work.

What discs did you try?

Depending on the disc, you may have to use a different button combination. Also, some discs apparently don't work at all.

SamLowry · 07-23-12, 05:55 PM

For the person that posted, I have a BD70V (the VHS model which I bought on sale on amazon for $100 & now sells for over $1,000 used) & it works just as stated.

Worked for main title (most times extras would play sound only):
Before the Revolution
Blue Velvet (French Digibook)
Bound (French)
Brazil (French Digibook w/ Director's cut)
Le Beau Serge
Les Cousins
Medea

So far the only title I couldn't get to play at all:
Les Vacances de Monsieur Hulot

davidlynchfan · 08-18-12, 08:54 PM

Subway (Luc Besson) worked on my Dmp-BD65. yay!

LosingMyMind · 10-24-12, 12:49 AM

The Loved Ones works

LosingMyMind · 10-25-12, 04:39 PM

On the Road (Sur La Route) would not work

Successful Discs

Animals
The Bedsitter Room
Cabin Fever 2
Coeur Fidele
Dracula, Prince of Darkness
Epic Movie
Futureworld
Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner
Martyrs
Messengers 2: The Scarecrow
Mulholland Dr.
My Blueberry Nights (extra features may be a problem)
Navajo Joe (but extra features won't play)
Never Sleep Again: The Elm Street Legacy
A Perfect Getaway
Professor Layton and the Eternal Diva
REC2
Rolling Thunder (but bonus trailer wouldn't play)
Sammy's Adventure (3D Blu-ray)
Saturday Night and Sunday Morning
Silent Running
Stir of Echoes 2
Thirst
Touch of Evil
Two Lane Blacktop
2001 Maniacs: Field of Screams
The Unknown Woman (but extra features won't play)
Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter?

Problem Discs

Candy
Don't Look Now
Garden State
The Pianist
REC
Saw 3D (3D Blu-ray)
A Very Long Engagement

I purchased "Sammy's Adventure" on 3D Blu-Ray based on the success reported in this Forum but unfortunately it doesn't seem to be working. I get the screen saying this Disc can only be played in Region B. I then hit "stop" followed by "1" and then "enter" and it does take me to the movie but all I can do is play the movie in 2D, not 3D (although it does look really good even in 2D!).

If anyone has figured out the workaround for successful playback in 3D, I would love to hear about it.

Thanks.

What model player are you using? Most of the models mentioned here are only 2D players. You're never going to be able to play the 3D version in a 2D player, regardless of version.

ProfessorEcho · 11-30-12, 12:32 AM

Excellent thread. I'm going to have to get a Region B or C Blu and check it out on my BD60. My question is: Will it still work if I've put in all the firmware updates? There hasn't been one in a long time and they are probably done with them for this player, but I did put in all the prior ones to date. Would it affect this unlock capability?

And any new titles to add to the list?
