Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
Any idea if this works for non-Region 1 DVDs no the BD60?

Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
Wow! Thanks!
I tried this with my Panasonic Blu ray 3D player (DMP-BDT210) and surprisingly your simple hack works on that player, too. Fantastic! |

Awesome! Like I said before, I can't believe I've never seen any information posted about this. I had to figure it out myself, and it's not like I'm some tech wizard :lol:
Next, you'll have to figure out the series of buttons to press so that we can play DVDs from all regions. I know you'll suss it out because you're The Man! |
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
I have a BD-65, but no discs to test it with. I would love to have this ability.

Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
Many thanks to LosingMyMind. This is a revelation. Using the Blu of Coeur Fidele from the MOC dual format release, I tried it on my BD-65, pressing "stop" then "1", then "OK" on the remote. It worked like magic.

Thanks so much. Works on my DMP BDT100 as well. Hope they don't "fix" this with a firmware update. I was contemplating purchasing a region free BD player. Little did I know I already had one. Only tested with Mulholland Dr. so far. Already had a region free DVD player.

What about PAL-->NTSC?

Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
I posted this possible solution over at the Blu-ray.com forum, and people are saying that they are trying it and it's not working.
|
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
I hate it for them. I tried the MOC Two Lane Blacktop disc and it worked with it also.
|
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
I don't hold out much hope of it working, but has anyone tried it on a BD35 (or BD55)? I would but I haven't any non-Region 1 discs.
|
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
clckworang, I read the replies there. I am using a Harmony 880 remote. I didn't do any special programming of the remote. The button I hit as enter is labelled OK and is center button surrounded by arrows. I can't find my factory Panny remote. I'm having a busy time at work and haven't gotten to play with it much more.
|
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
I didn't think much about the difference between "enter" or "OK." I'm pretty sure one of the people posting over there was trying with a model that no one had been able to verify, so maybe that model just doesn't work with this method. The one who couldn't get it to work with the BDT210 ... I don't know, but I placed an order at Amazon UK that included a couple of region-locked titles so I'll report my findings when those come in. :D
|
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
Oh, I suppose I should also mention that there was someone else over there who reported success with a BDT110.

Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
The UK Rolling Thunder BD does not play a "wrong region" screen. It just instantly goes back to the Panny window. It still works with the trick and plays the film. Would not play the trailer from the disc. Must be PAL.
|
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
^ That's actually one of the films that I ordered. :)

Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
I'll try to keep up a list of the titles that have worked for people. Maybe that will be useful to some.
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?

Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
It seems that there are different codes for different blu rays. I have the Panasonic BD70V & tried it with The Bedsitter Room & it worked, but then I tried it with My Blueberry Nights & it didn't work. My Blueberry Nights starts "playing" but with a black screen & no sound as soon as I put it in. I tried to stop, 1, ok..but I always get an "operation not available" message. So I experimented with different numbers & it seemed to work when I simply entered "4" & "ok", I got the main menu & was able to play the movie, but then I tried to access special features, but only could get their sound to play. My TV (Samsung) wouldn't display the video content for the special features, maybe they are PAL?

Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
Tried a couple of more discs. Workaround works with the Park Circus Phantom of the Opera BD. Could not get it to work with the Studio Canal BD of The Pianist which seems wierd since it worked with Mulholland Dr.

Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
I just received my shipping confirmation for my Amazon UK order, so I'll be able to test my player next week probably. Somehow or another, though, I think I managed to place a big order from there with only one region-locked disc, Rolling Thunder. :lol:

Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
Here's another locked Blu ray that works with the Pannys:
Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? |
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
Hmm, Since I'm in now looking for a BD recorder, maybe I'll check out Panasonic models then... See if the 'code' works with them.
|
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
I updated post #23 with the other titles that people said they were able to play and also started a separate list for ones that wouldn't.
|
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
i ordered [REC], [REC] 2 and MARTYRS - i'll report back if they work
|
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
Thirst arrived today to put this theory to the test. The BD-65 played it. A blessing and a curse...
|
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
^ I very nearly ordered that one, too, but then I read the reviews for it ...
|
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
Works with German release of Futureworld.
|
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
Does anyone know if these codes work on the Panasonic DMP-BD75?
|
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
My Italian BD of La sconosciuta (The Unknown Woman) plays using the workaround. PAL extras predictably won't display though.
|
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
German BD of Navajo Joe works but again extras are PAL.
|
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
:thumbsup: List updated

[REC] - didn't work :( (well it kind of worked...image was zoomed in and distorted) [REC] 2 - worked! had to do the trick twice though MARTYRS - worked! had to press 3 instead of 1 |
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
Cannot get this to work with the Region B locked UK release of Garden State (Studio Canal). Have tried every number imaginable and no dice. :(
There goes $30 and the ability to watch my favorite movie on Blu! Sad day. |
Re: Panasonic DMP-BD60 is Capable of Playing Region B and C Disc.
The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner and Saturday Night and Sunday Morning both from BFI Studios work.
