USING A KAMELEON URC 8206 1. Clear the Remote of all Codes by:- Press Magic Key (hat) until Rabbit appears. Press OTHER button Enter code 980 - This will cause the IR indicator to flash 4 time (2 sets of 2) 2. Set the Code for the DVD Player:- Press Magic Key (hat) until Rabbit appears. Press DEV SET Button Press DVD Icon Enter code 0490 - This will cause the IR indicator to flash twice Press ESC twice to get the rabbit to dissappear 3. Setting up the Buttons on the KAMELEON Remote Control:- a. Press Magic Key (hat) until Rabbit appears. b. Press KEY MAGIC Button c. Press DVD Icon d. Press Magic Key Once (rabbit will not dissappear) e. Enter the 5 digit code (00 precedes the 3 digit codes using this remote making it a 5 digit code) ie 00191 (<-----this is equiv to the ENTER button) f. Press the key you want to assign - ie Number 1 - The IR indicator will flash twice. This results in the Number 1 Key being assigned to code 00191 which is the Panasonic Remote Control Equivalent of the ENTER Button Use the codes below to program the remaining Number Keys 2 - 0 using instructions b-f above 1. 00191 = ENTER 2. 00120 = 6 3. 00065 = >=10 4. 00180 = << 5. 00143 = Service Key 6. 00155 = AUDIO 7. 00122 = 8 8. 00117 = 1 9. 00129 = SUBTITLE 0. 00123 = 4 Once all the keys have been programmed into the KAMELEON press the ESC key twice to remove the RABBIT. Next ensure there is no disc in the DVD Player. Ensure the DVD Icon has been pressed and is active Sequentially Press the number keys on the remote starting with 1 finishing with 0. During this sequence the display on the DVD Player should display 'NO DISC'. (*There were no other indications or display changes during and after this process.) At the end of this sequence check the DVD Player by playing alternative Region Coded Discs to ensure it worked. If not try again!!! Good Luck PS Don't forget to reprogram your remote if you want to use it as nomal afterwards by Clearing all the codes using the 980 code (Part 1) then reselecting the Devices (Part 2). | |||

Another way to do the August 2007 hack posted by Cookie earlier, but this time with 2 remotes -- not as much button pressing. Use a Panasonic (like n2qAJB000069, n2qAHB000012, or veq2380) AND a OneForALL remote (had a URC 2981 but others should work). Most of the required buttons are on the Panasonic remote so only a single feature needs to be programmed into the OneForAll. Set the OneForAll for basic control (on/off, play, etc) of a Panasonic player. Wait for the blinks to happen before continuing. On the OneForAll press these buttons DVD, Magic (2 blinks), 0490 (2 blinks). Make sure it controls the dvd player. Next, program the "service key" into the OneForAll's 0 button by pressing Magic (2 blinks), 994 (2 blinks), Magic, 001430 (2 blinks). Turn the S53 on, with No Disc in the tray. Press the keys on the 2 remotes in this order Panasonic remote: ENTER, 6, ≥10, << OneForAll remote: 0 panasonic remote: AUDIO, 8, 1, SUBTITLE, 4 If nothing happens try again. The player should display ON after pressing the 4 key. Press the keys about 1 every second to get the timing right. Tested on region 2 Panasonic S53, now play dvds from anywhere (ntsc / pal). | |||
