Posted: Fri Feb 02, 2024 2:01 am Post subject: US version of the Panasonic player |
|
|
Hi there,
I wanted to express my gratitude to this community for assisting me in programming my newly purchased OARUSB04G remote. With their help, I was able to successfully program it to control both my JVC TV and Panasonic Blu-ray player (DMP-BDT220).
By reading forums and utilizing the necessary tools, such as RMIR, I was able to program the OARUSB04G remote with region-free EFC codes, which allowed me to make my Panasonic player region-free.
The only thing I wish for is if the US version of the Panasonic player could play PAL DVDs, but I understand that it is not capable of doing so.
Thanks again to everyone who helped me out. _________________ uno online

Good riddance. That site was extremely shady, firmware was expensive (as much as the player itself), and the guy running it was a jerk. I highly recommend getting a Sony for region free. |

Which website do you mean Dave? The only ones linked here are VideoHelp.com and Panasonic.com, both of which are still active.
Also, I highly suspect that Tobygardner is an AI Spambot, people don't usually register on a website just to post something as trivial as that. Toby, please correct me if I'm wrong. I expect that, in a week or so, the bot will return and edit its post to include a spam link, and they'll do it using invisible code too, just so it won't be obvious.
Normally, I delete such posts and accounts as soon as I see them, but I'll leave this one up as you've replied to it, but I will delete the account right after it converts the post to spam. _________________ Rob

Gotcha. The only dead link I found in any thread there was to firmwareinfo.com, the shady site I was talking about and assumed that's what the poster was referring to, since all other links were fine. AI bots are getting more sneaky. Feel free to delete my post as it's as misleading as the bot's.
Edit: Weird that my apostrophes got replaced with question marks. |

Ah, so you mean a link on the VideoHelp page, not a link here, got it. I checked the web archive to see if they have firmwareinfo.com and while they have a couple of archives of the front page, they don't have any of the actual forums, so it's gone-gone now.
I dunno why your apostrophes got replaced, but I changed them back. _________________ Rob

Using Windows? There are apostrophes (ASCII/Unicode 0x27) and double quotes (ASCII/Unicode 0x22). These are not appropriate for fine typography; for example, English, German, Swedish and French all use different quotation marks. A program like MS Word is "smart" and replaces apostophes and quotes by the (locale-dependent) fancy version. These are no longer ASCII character, which makes the forum software replace them.
Quote: | I highly recommend getting a Sony for region free. | DVD or Bluray? Code-free is quote different in these two cases. For example, the Panasonics have for years had their F2-sequence for codefree DVD (did this on my DP UB424 just a few years ago), while codefree Bluray is considerably harder. Strictly speaking, there is no such thing as codefree BD, just mult-region. |

I'm talking about DVD. I thought all BD were multi region.
I'm using the same apostrophe on my iPhone English (US) keyboard as I have for the past 15 years. So maybe it's a new iOS bug?
EDIT: I get the following when I edit the post and attempt to use apostrophes:
Could not insert new word matches
DEBUG MODE
SQL Error : 1271 Illegal mix of collations for operation 'in'
INSERT INTO phpbb_search_wordmatch (post_id, word_id, title_match) SELECT 148213, word_id, 0 FROM phpbb_search_wordlist WHERE word_text IN (each word in my post in single quotes and delimited by commas)
Line : 251
File : functions_search.php |
