If you own a Panasonic blue-ray player in Australia you can take it to a Panasonic service centre and they will make it region free for you at no cost. It's all about a high court ruling that says mod chips are legal. So having region locks here is pointless.

@b-icemedia 10 ай бұрын

Thank You!! I just tried this on my new Panasonic DP-UB9000-P1K player (Region A/1) and it worked great on the superior Region B "African Queen" Blu-ray disc. I don't have any other Region B Blu-rays on hand yet, but I am hopeful that they will work as well. I did notice that this workaround does not seem to work on DVDs, such as the random Region 2 / PAL disc that I tried. Would you know of a similar fix for DVDs on this player? Either way, I'm very appreciative that it works on Blu-rays (so far). Before finding your post today, I attempted all kinds of Google-related remote code suggestions, none of which worked. So a big Thank You again and keep up the good work! I'm now a subscriber. 😊

@chrisward000 6 ай бұрын

Panasonic players can be made region free for DVD with a certain remote code. You can either program the codes into something like a Harmony remote but much easier just to buy a region hack remote that sends the codes. Easily available on eBay etc. for a few bucks and work on virtually every Panasonic Blu-ray and 4K player. The hack shown here does work, but not with every disk. Some disks seem to have an extra check that can’t be bypassed with this. (For example, Kino Lorber region A disks can’t be bypassed on a Region B player with this trick, while Criterion disks work ok).

@richellebrittain2127 11 ай бұрын

The "top menu" workaround only works on SOME region-locked movies & SOME players. If you're serious about playing region-locked movies from other regions, get a region-free player from a reputable modder like 220 Electronics, World Imports or Bombay Electronics in the U.S., Multiregion Magic or TPS in the UK, or their Amazon marketplaces. Reputable modders stand behind their work, especially important since the mods usually void the manufacturer's warranty. Since very few 4K Blu-rays are region-locked (they violate the 4K Blu-ray standard by manually adding regular Blu-ray region locks), it will be cheaper & easier for many people to buy a region-free regular Blu-ray player than a region-free 4K player. (I own a 220-modded UB820 myself, but I wanted a single player for my stand & got it just as the rogue region-locked 4K's first appeared.) Be sure the player is region-free modded for regular Blu-ray (ABC) as well as DVD (1 to 9); 220 in particular sells many of its Blu-ray players with only DVD mods at base price, charging an extra $40 to add the Blu-ray mod.

@b-icemedia 11 ай бұрын

Thanks for your feedback! I agree that buying a region-free player is the best way to go about it, but I think this workaround is a good option if you have maybe one or two foreign titles in your collection, especially if this works on your player. I think many people don't want to pay the extra money to go region-free because of that reason.

Does it work for Sony? I have a old sony blu ray player that is region locked. Also fo I have to do this each time?

@b-icemedia 5 ай бұрын

I’m not completely sure as each model and current software plays a part. And yes, you’d have to do this each time.

First, I tried opening tray and enter 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 . Then, I reseted the UB-400 player (Region A). Finally, I inserted a B disc and play. It didn't work, it displayed restriction, but after I entered code 123 and voilá , It worked. I don't know if long code worked or 123 code... I hope it helps.

Sadly didn't work on my region A Shout Factory The Thing Collector's edition blu ray. I have to watch my 4k movie on the blu ray player, and my special features from the collector's edition on my PC with the 4K monitor 🥲 I will be importing all Alien, Aliens, Abyss and True lies on 4K disks, so if the hack doesnt work, ill be buying a region free player.

Ah, I'm sorry it didn't work for you! Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I only have a handful of Region B discs, so a region-free player will be the way to go if this doesn't work for you.
