Making Panasonic players/DVRs region free from a Panasonic or non- commercial remote is notoriously difficult, but the following hack worked beautifully on my DMR-EZ25 that I bought in London earlier this year. I take no credit for the hack, I came across it on another forum whose name I can't recall, although it was clear various people had contributed to it. If I remember correctly this hack can also work on other Panasonic models. Before the hack the unit would only play Region 2 discs. You'll need a "One For All" (OFA) universal remote, NOT the Panasonic remote. (I used model URC 6131n, bought in a Best Buy in Chicago but the hack should work with other models too) . The hack consists of entering 10 groups of three digits in sequence: 191 120 065 180 143 155 122 117 129 123 1. Turn on the Panasonic (with the unit's remote), with no disc in the tray. Set the OFA remote for "DVD" (instructions come with), and assign a button for each 3-digit number above on your OFA remote. I used the numerical buttons from 1 through 0. 2. Pointing the OFA remote at the unit, hold down the SET key until it blinks twice, then enter 994, then SET again (one blink), then 191, then 1. 3. Repeat this for the remaining nine groups above: SET (2 blinks), 994, then SET(one blink) then 120, then 2 and so on. When all ten three-digit groups have been entered, press each of the buttons 1 through 0 in turn. Within 30 seconds or less, the unit resets itself, shows HELLO on the unit screen and is now region-free. I put in a Region 1 "Ferris Bueller's Day Off" and it played without a hitch. This hack should work in reverse, i.e Panasonics set for Region 1 should also become region-free. Good luck! |
