| The buttons mentioned in the hack are not on your Sony remote...those buttons are on an aftermarket remote that people sometimes use to hack players. Without that special remote...you won't be able to hack your machine....especially since it is a Sony machine. Sonys are NOT known to be hack-friendly. |

| You'll have to buy that kind of remote online. Do a web search. I want to warn you that even if you buy the remote that there is a chance that you still won't be able to make your player region free. Manufacturers make hardware changes in models that break hacks that worked in the past. I can't give you 100% assurance that you'll definitely be able to hack this player with the remote, but you definitely won't be able to without it. It's a gamble.
I don't keep up with Panasonic and thus have no idea if they even make any models for sale in Australia that can be hacked. Do note that it's getting harder every day to find DVD players that can be made region free. |
