Panasonic DMPBD75 region hack

seeby · 02-05-2011, 7:08 AM

Does anyone have a region hack for the new Panasonic DMPBD75? Apparantley, Panasonic Australia is no longer providing multi-region DVD on their Blu-Ray/DVD players.

Hi did you get a hack as I have the same model, was told it was multi-region but it's not

EngIan · 01-06-2011, 5:54 PM

Panasonic players can be multi region hacked. Unfortunately it cannot be done using the supplied remote control (as other players can). It requires a special 'service' remote control.

However have a look at this site (Multiregion Upgrades - Online source for Blu-Ray multi-region solderless firmware remote hacks external tool codes to make your player region free. Multi region your DVD by clicking here.). They supply custom made 'remotes' that send the correct signals to the player to make it region free. What's more, they supply them on a rental basis, so once you have done the job, you can return the kit to them.

Note: that many Panasonic players sold in NTSC regions won't play PAL discs.

Further to above, the remote hack only works for making DVD region free. If you want to make the Blu-ray region free, that is a more complicated task requiring the installation of a extra chip (not a job for the faint hearted).

Thanks EngIan I have looked on the site you recomended but they don't seem to have a hack for the DMP-BD75 any other ideas?

fms · 04-08-2011, 11:30 PM

Can the DMP-BD75EK-G, which I assume is the same but the European model?, be made region-free?

And when you say service-remote-control, can you also do it yourself with a One for All remote, or does it have to be a special factory service one?

Johnramage · 06-08-2011, 3:39 PM

just talked to shop selling BD75 multi region so can be done. They would not tell me how though (it's so frustrating that no one as got the hack yet

)

mentm · 07-08-2011, 10:22 PM

You need a service remote check out multiregion magic

fms · 08-08-2011, 1:03 AM

So a service remote isn't the same as a remote with a magic button (like the One-for-All remotes)?

mentm · 08-08-2011, 8:18 PM

Yes you should be able to program a one for all remote the codes are probably the same for all panny players, though the easiest way would be rent / buy a pre programmed remote.

fms · 09-08-2011, 4:14 PM

Thanks.

But now, I found this link:
DVD CHIPS UK FORUM -> PANASONIC DMP-BD75

Which seems to imply - I think - that the typical Panasonic code does NOT work? Or am I misunderstanding?

I'm getting confused - it's also weird that with such a cheap model there isn't more info online.

mentm · 09-08-2011, 8:15 PM

I think you may be right upon closer inspection there is no mention of the bd75 here Multiregion DVD modification remote (DIY) - Multiregionmagic The Home Of Multiregion DVD & Blu-Ray

I would suggest you look at the sony s380 instead.

Johnramage · 10-08-2011, 12:58 AM

I have tried a couple of sites and been sent remotes to try but nothing as worked

Johnramage · 13-08-2011, 2:35 PM

Have just spoken to guy at Multiregionmagic and he says that they have a remote that will work for £24.99.
I have ordered 1 should be here next week will let you know if it works

fms · 13-08-2011, 4:57 PM

Thanks. It would be great a) if it worked and b) if the codes would leak then so that I could do it with a One4all remote!
Keep us updated - thanks

Johnramage · 16-08-2011, 11:38 AM

Got the remote today and it worked a treat now it's multi-region

giddion · 06-09-2011, 2:27 PM

@Johnrampage
Can you post the exact remote and a link to where it can be bought?

mentm · 06-09-2011, 4:51 PM

AFAIK this is the one most have been using

Multiregion DVD modification remote (DIY) - Multiregionmagic The Home Of Multiregion DVD & Blu-Ray

Johnramage · 06-09-2011, 8:58 PM

giddion, mentm is correct that is the place I got the remote from I ordered over the phone and they sent it to me the same day.

giddion · 11-09-2011, 6:44 AM

nissegura · 23-11-2011, 5:49 PM

So, you got the remote, but did you change the region for just DVDs or also Blu-Ray? I would like to change the Blu-Ray regions.

mentm · 25-11-2011, 11:15 AM

Hi. Just wondering if you had any luck with getting this remote control and making your machine DVD region free?

Hello,
thanks for the information you've provided. Do you know if this remote would work for my DVD player (also DMP-BD75) I bought in Canada ?

Thanks in advance for your reply

Hi,
I'm trying to hack my Panasonic DMP-BD75 I bought in Canada to play my DVDs bought in France (zone 2). Do you think it's worth doing this if I'm not sure that all of my DVDs will be readable ?
I've got also my previous DVD player (zone 2) but it does not work with my TV here in Canada (PAL vs. NTSC). So, I could buy one PAL to NTSC converter instead of hacking the Panasonic player but I also could have some trouble (image not perfect...).
Which solution would you advise me, hack the Panasonic for multi zone or buy a converter ?

Thanks a lot for your help

Johnramage · 05-01-2012, 4:25 PM

sorry I can't help you as I live in the UK, maybe you could give multiregion guys a ring and they could advice you.

They replied :
"Not tested on any unit other than region 2/B. Doubt it will work."

Moreover I'll likely have trouble reading my PAL DVDs on that NTSC player, even if it is hacked.
So, I think I'll go with this PAL/NTSC converter.
