Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
Sexy Beast (Region B) does not work using this method with my Panasonic player.
It works on the Seiki player, of course. FYI if you want Sexy Beast on Blu Ray Region A, it is coming out Aug 13th in the USA on Twilight Time (Screen Archives). Something else to look forward to from this label is Oliver! coming out Nov 12th. |
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
Silent Hill Revelation 3D FRENCH Steelbook works on my BDT210. :D Sweet! Thank U "LOSINGMYMIND"!!!
FYI: :up: it has an audio commentary, at another forum people were saying that it was text commentary. :up: forced French subtitles can be eliminated by changing to English with Audio button on remote and not using the Audio Menu. :up: a lot of Features/:down: French subtitles on features :( could not override "FROM DUSK TILL DAWN" French 3-disc Steelbook :( |

I tried this with my Panasonic Blu ray 3D player (DMP-BDT210) and surprisingly your simple hack works on that player, too. Fantastic! Fingers crossed. |
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
Bumping this old thread to note that this Arrow reigon locked BD played in my Pansonic BD 65:
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...L._SL1500_.jpg I waited for the error screen to come up and just pressed "Top Menu" button after that. The extras worked too although I didn't watch all of them or the entire film. I ordered "The Fury" (Arrow Video version) so I'll try that one out whenever it arrives and note whether or not it works. |
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
Another Arrow Region B bluray worked on my Panasonic BD 65 player:
http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/...wL._SX425_.jpg I put it in and got the "This can only be played with a Region B player" message. Pressed STOP and then TOP MENU and the disc and movie played without issue. I watched a few extras and they played fine as well. FYI, I've seen this disc on sale several times a year when amazon.co.uk runs it 2 for 10 pounds sale. Even with shipping, it beats paying $30 for the Twilight Time which is pretty much bare bones outside of a trailer and an isolated score. |
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
This works (as have all Arrow Region B Locked BD's I've tried) with STOP and then TOP MENU:
http://www.arrowfilms.co.uk/shop/ima...AL-500x500.jpg This one works with pressing STOP twice and then pressing TOP MENU twice: http://images.static-bluray.com/movi...6015_large.jpg |
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
I'm so happy that this trick works for so many of you. Unfortunately, I have never been able to get it to work for Rolling Thunder, the one Region B disc that I have. I just tried again. I hadn't given it a try in a couple of years and still have the same lack of success. However, I finally am dead set on going Blu-ray region free. I have ordered some Arrow discs and look forward to testing those. I hope it works. If not, I think I'm finally ready to purchase another player. I just wish there were more affordable 3D player options. Oh well. Fingers crossed.

Got The Train and Rollerball (1975) as a part of the Arrow sale. Both play on my Panasonic BD-65 with a simple button hack:
After you insert the disc in you will be hit with a black screen that says: This disc will play in Region B players only. Press STOP to return to the Panasonic main menu. After you return to the panasonic menu, press STOP then TOP MENU and the main menu of the movie should load. The extras (didn't try them all out) should be playable and viewable as well as the film. |

This workaround works for discs that rely on hi def content. I think I remember hearing that *REC is a 1080i/50 disc (isn't that one that's on the "won't play" list below?). |
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
Tried out on some Region B discs bought from Amazon.de. All these films either don't have a Region A release or are OOP.
King Kong (1976 version with Jeff Bridges) works with stop + top menu combo Port of Shadows, works with the same button combo Army of Shadows was the one that gave me a bit of trouble. STOP + TOP MENU doesn't work on this one. What finally worked was this: I entered 19 Next screen was a gold colored and had Germany, France, and United Kingdom. I just chose France. This must have been the problematic screen/issue I suspect. After a few short intros, I finally got kicked to the menu screen where I was able to play the movie. The long documentary extra was also playable as well. I also bought The Mechanic (Bronson version) and will update this post after I get and test out the film. |
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
I only recently realized this player had this capability thanks to another thread somewhere here. :) I've always had all-region players on hand as needed, but the BD60 and BD65 became my workhorses for R1 stuff once I discovered they could play movies at "2x" speed WITH sound, which shortens viewing times considerably for lesser movies, bonus features, etc. So this is just icing on the cake. Even better, I stockpiled a few of these for when the current unit finally wears out. :lol:
I did try Arrow's U.K. edition of KILL, BABY, KILL (which is region B) last night and the 'stop + top menu' combo did the trick, for those who might have it. |
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
Bumping this thread since I got a bunch of Region B locked discs from Amazon.de for cheap
These discs all work with [STOP]. [STOP], TOP MENU, TOP MENU button hack Midnight Run Havana Knight Moves Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia Bitter Moon Death and the Maiden |
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc
Looking for a Blue-ray player for regions A and B. I just need for USA and UK Blue-Rays. I love in the USA and my current Blue-Ray player works with both. I don’t even have to change regions for my Sony BDP-S3700. I think it’s from 2016. Does the new ones still work? The UK Robert the Bruce film from this fall works on this USA Blue-Ray player for the UK edition. I am confused. I need a player for another room will the same player work?

https://www.blu-ray.com/movies/Rober.../#RegionCoding So that disc will work on any US Blu-ray player. It's become more and more common for Blu-rays to be all-region, although there are still exceptions. That said, you could get a modded version of that Blu-ray player that would let you change the Blu-ray region so you could play discs locked to a particular region. https://www.220-electronics.com/specials.html |

This is literally impossible. Due to the way the Blu-ray spec was designed, for a Blu-ray disc locked to a particular region, there's no way for the Blu-ray player to automatically select the right region.
