Are you sure? Lots of people have updated the firmware without any such problem.

As far as I know there's not a handset hack for the panny, you need to get a chipped remote. Have a search around the forum and you'll find some links to firms that supply these.

I have installed 2 firmware upgrades to my Panny, including the very latest version and mine is still multi region.

This has been mentioned on the US forum. Apparently 540 doesn't like PAL very much:

Hi Guys - where can I get the firmware upgrade for the panasonic s97? Also where did you get your multiregion s97's from? I ask because most that I have seen do not support all regions and RCE.

Thanks
