	This hack works brilliantly. Bought the latest version (2019 model in brochure) of DVD-S700 region 2 only. Put in region 1 DVD and nothing. Followed the hack exactly as described. Put in region 1 DVD and viola!

	The hack posted worded like a charm. I used a samsung tv remote for the other remote. When you type the hack it says « operationnot available » but it works well.

	For information, the hack posted here by LordCarpsalot also works perfectly when using the remote of a Sony TV connected to the player through "Bravia Sync" as alternate remote (yes, the Samsung DVD player activate Bravia Sync!).

	I have used this hack successfully with two TVs. I used the Panasonic TV remote as the 'Alternative Remote' when plugged into a Panasonic TV. On the second DVD player, the Panasonic remote would not work when connected to a Sony TV, so I used the Sony TV remote and it the worked! The make of the 'Alternative Remote' may be the answer of the hack not working.

	My model is Panasonic S700GT-k. The code didn't work at first. Enter the code as quickly as possible for several time. Then the hack works smoothly. (use Panasonic TV remote as alternate remote)

Any suggestion on how to move on, pls?

	I've tried this hack and either I'm too slow on keying the sequence or it is not working. My unit was manufactured August 2020. It has the Region 1 code. I'm using an old Panasonic Remote for the Alternate Remote. Any ideas???

	Works on Panasonic DVD-S700EG-K. I've used the android app "Universal DVD Remote Control" as a remote. You need to set it up first, it will make you try several configurations, the third "PANADVD2" worked for me. Confirm that you have the app working by tapping the "Eject" button: the tray should open/close. Now, while the is tray open press the following button sequence entirely within the app: Audio-1-9-8-2-Subtitle-Pause-0 The button sequence is the same of the original post, thanks for sharing!

	just wanted to post to say that the method in the previous post with the android app worked for me too with the same model Panasonic DVD-S700EG-K you do not need a second remote using this method which is very useful I had bought this dvd player specifically hoping it might already be region free as I specifically needed a new player with a HDMI socket to play my old non region 2 dvds It arrived region 2 locked though so this hack was super useful

	The hack described here works great, in 2023. One thing to note, none of my other remotes did the job. I also had to download the android app on my phone. It's called "Universal DVD Remote Control" and it has blue/navy colored icon. Perform a minor configuration and see if it turns on your DVD player (select from a number of available sub options for Panasonic type, one of tyhe should work). So yeah, for everyone saying that it doesn't work - use the proper remote control as your alternative remote or download the app from Google Play Store.

	Hack of the OP from 2015 works like a charm, just bought the player from amazon germany. I used a Panasonic Blu-ray remote for the 'pause'. Thumbs up! :o)

	Region code hack posted by William , October 24 2024:
	The hack described works! I bought the Panasonic DVD player on Amazon.de (October 2024) and it could only read region 2 DVD’s, now it can read all regions! I just followed the instructions using the original remote control and a Philips universal remote control as alternative (when pressing “pause”). The speed with which you follow the sequence doesn’t matter, and also it doesn’t matter if you keep getting messages “operation not available”: the hack works anyway; just follow exactly all the instructions:-) Thanks to whom posted the hack!
	Region code hack posted by 1planet1region, October 31 2024:
	This hack works with 1 panasonic remote if it has 2 separate PAUSE and PLAY buttons. NOT with the "dvd player" remote that comes with the s700 player and has a combined Play/Pause button, >/II. A panasonic N2QAHB000012 remote works, and any panasonic bluray remote should work too. The steps are the same as before. Ignore any "operation not available" messages on the tv screen when pressing the buttons Open tray, Audio, 1982, Subtitle, Pause (NOT Play/Pause),0 Tested on a region 2 player. Now the s700 plays dvds from anywhere (Ntsc and Pal).

	Dec 2024 purchased from Amazon USA. Thought it was not working as screen said “operation not available” for every input but like previous post said it actually worked, playing region 1 and 2 OK
