Firmware version is 1.49.

The hack for the Panasonic DMP-BDT320 worked for my 220 too:

http://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks/panasonic-dmp-bdt320/11800

I was using a One-For-All 7960 remote control.

It seems the 7960 is operated slightly differently from the 7140 in the other post, but it is all still very similar. I found the manual "Manual_URC 7960 Extra features all languages.pdf" on the One-For-All web site very helpful (this extra features manual was not in the package of the remote).

After typing in the unlocking key sequence the player took only seconds to restart. In the other post, a minute or two was mentioned.

Updated instructions using a One-for-All URC-7541 [aka One-
for-All Digital]

Australian DMP-BDT220 locked to Region 4
Firmware 1.49 [latest available Dec 2012]

Tested with region 2 DVD, did not play before hack but
played after the hack.
Hack remained after power cycling the unit.

The One-for-All URC-7541 has no instructions for programming
the number buttons so I modified the procedure from other
model guides.
3 digits were required for the code to program the number
buttons.

WARNING: The procedure to return the number keys on my One-
for-All URC-7541 to original has not been verified.
Your One-for-All URC-7541 remote may not function as
expected after this procedure.

Here is what I did;

A. To set the One-for-All URC-7541 remote to control the
player using the AUX button

1. Press & hold the MAGIC button until it blinks twice
2. Press 9 9 2 VCR AUX
3. Press AUX
4. Press & hold the MAGIC button until it blinks twice
5. Press 0 4 9 0 [this is the code found in the URC-7541
user guide]
Done


B. To program individual number buttons on the One-for-All
URC-7541 remote control:

1. Press AUX
2. Press & hold Magic button until AUX blinks twice
3. Press 9 9 4
4. Press Magic button [AUX will blink once]
5. Press 3 digit code from table below
6. Press the number button for that code
Done

Note. Further presses of the programmed number button will
cause the VCR button to blink, not AUX as expected.

Button Code

1 191
2 120
3 065
4 180
5 143
6 155
7 122
8 117
9 129
0 123


C. To unlock the player:

1. Power on the player with no disk in
2. Point the remote control at the player
3. Press the remote buttons one at a time in order;
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0
The player will reset itself with no info indicating it's
region free
The reset took seconds, not minutes
Test by playing DVD's
Done

D. To return the One-for-All URC-7541 number buttons back to
default [not verified];

1. Press the AUX button
2. Press & hold Magic button until AUX blinks twice
3. Press 9 9 4
4. Press the number button twice
5. Repeat for each of the number buttons
Done

Note. Further presses of the programmed number button will
cause the AUX button to blink as expected, not like the note
in B. above

We have two dvds that are zone 2 and wont play in NZ. Is there any way to unlock the code so we can play them.

I am based in the US and often travel to the UK. I have several original/legitimate DVDs that I have bought from the UK over the years. My old unlocked DVD player died..
I have tried this hack on a DMP-BDT220 (United States model) using a One For All (URC7140) remote. I tried this several times using the 3- and 5-digit codes (Example: key 1 = 00191, key 2 = 00120 etc. as this was described in another thread). I re-keyed all the values several times too, to ensure that I have not made any key entry errors. I could tell that the player was receiving the codes (at least the first and last, as the menu selection changed on the first key and the player rebooted on the last one).
However, the player is still locked for region 1 (keep getting "Cannot play" on UK DVDs). Any suggestions? Thanks.

American Panasonic devices have been software restricted to NTSC-only playback.

You need to install 3rd party firmware to bypass that restriction and to be able to change DVD and Blu-ray region settings.

Thanks Slimebank... I tried the link, registered and submitted the information exactly as requested. But, I got nothing back. When I tried to log-in again few hours later, my log-in was already deleted. My only guess is that they didn't appreciated my offer for contribution toward the development project by reviewing code/developing some modules. Did I misread what they are asking for (i.e., are they looking $$?)



PostRegion code posted by Slimebank, March 25 2014:


LOL !!

I guess the site operators don't like beggars...

Maybe you should come up with a donation or at least something valuable



PostRegion code hack posted by readyemail, March 28 2014:


I would've paid a reasonable amount if they'd made it clear. They maybe obscuring their desire for payments to make them look like donations! In any case, after two tries with no specific response I am giving up on that option and hope other options would surface soon.

Of course...

You can get a similar firmware on ebay, but I think the Cinavia deactivation part is missing from that one:

Good luck !

PostRegion code hack posted by Louv68, November 17 2016:


I saw this on another forum and it works using the basic remote that comes with the unit, at
least for unlocking Blu-rays. Method 3 worked for me with my U.S. bought player.

Method 1 -

- Insert a disc and wait for the "Wrong Region" screen to appear
- Press the "Pop-Up Menu" button
- Disc should boot to the discs main menu or start playing the movie

Method 2 -

- Insert a disc and wait for the "Wrong Region" screen to appear
- Press Stop
- Press the "Pop-Up Menu" button
- Disc should boot to the discs main menu or start playing the movie

Method 3 -

- Insert a disc and wait for the "Wrong Region" screen to appear
- Press Stop
- Press 1 and the number "1" should start blinking in the upper right corner. Press the "OK"
button while 1 is blinking. You may have to try this a few times, as it usually doesn't work
the first time. Try pressing OK on the first or second blink and it should work.
- Disc should boot to the discs main menu or start playing the movie

All the posts seem to be for DVD playback. Do the codes work for Blu Rays? I have Blu Rays from multiple regions that
I'd like to play.



PostRegion code hack posted by JM, June 16 2018:


1. Start disc, wait for “this Blu-ray Disc will play on region “x” players only” (in my case, was trying region b disc)
2. Press “stop”
3. Press “1” and wait for the number to flash a couple times in the upper right corner
4. Press “ok”
5. Press “option”
6. Select “Top Menu”, disc should start playing
7. Feel like some sort of master hacker
8. Watch your blu-ray. Like a champion.

*You’ll have to follow this sequence each time you try and play a disc outside of your player’s set region. But, discs specific to
the same region should still play fine.



PostRegion code posted by LanceMeister , January 13 2022:


The process below did NOT work. First, my machine says, “This disc cannot be played in the unit,” not the message shown in the hack.
Regardless, pressing the remote button sequence does not provide the flashing “1” or anything else. I was really hopeful, but oh well.

1. Start disc, wait for “this Blu-ray Disc will play on region “x” players only” (in my case, was trying region b disc)
2. Press “stop”
3. Press “1” and wait for the number to flash a couple times in the upper right corner
4. Press “ok”
5. Press “option”
6. Select “Top Menu”, disc should start playing
7. Feel like some sort of master hacker
8. Watch your blu-ray. Like a champion.

Very easy, all you need is an ir transmitter (old mobile e. g. Galaxy S4,5 or 6), an app, the code and
that's it. I did it with a Panasonic DMP-BDT385 and DMP-BDT374 and it worked fine. It should work for
a lot Panasonic Players. Only for DVDs.
