Learn more about the featured blu-ray player in this video (Panasonic UB820) here! bit.ly/3kMbytK 💿
I tried on a UB9000P. unfortunately it doesn't work ☹️ does anyone have a solution?? THANKS
It worked for me, although instead of hitting top menu, I clicked pop-up menu instead
I'm very happy to say that the Top Menu Trick worked on the DMP-BD65 and the DP-UB9000 Panasonic models that I use. Thanks very much!
I'm glad it worked for you! Thanks for watching.
@@b-icemedia Now I have to qualify. It works for Blu-rays only. Not standard DVDS. I attempted to play Hell Is a City, a British Noir, but was unsuccessful. Also the standard DVD of The Heart of the Matter with the same results. Any ideas? Thanks so much for your previous reply.
Thanks for taking the time to show us this potential hack.
You’re welcome! Thanks for watching.
Worked beautifully with my Panasonic DMP-BDT220. Thank you very much.
I'm glad it worked for you! Thanks for watching.
Brilliant. Worked for me in the UK on a region B locked 820 player.
But was so much easier and reliable than all the videos I've seen for you guys in US.
I just press stop once. And top menu once and it loads. Everytime.
Thanks for the video buddy, saved me some money as I was gonna get mine modded or buy a modded Blu-ray player.😊
Oh and it was a Shout disc i first tried.
Awesome, I'm glad to hear it worked for you! Thanks for watching and your feedback.
@@b-icemediano problem. Can't believe how easy it was 😂
Of course a region B disc will play on your region B player.
Our problem in the US is to get a B to work on an A machine.
Thanks 🙏 Mane! I was in the market buying Region free blu ray player..I already have Panasonic UB20 (Regular), needed another blu ray player for my living room..I was eying on UB9000 region free but prices are crazy..$1,300+..so end up buying UB9000 (regular) not region free and I can confirm it works for UB9000..Thank You so much bro! Saved me couple of hundred bucks from buying region free UB9000..
Glad I could help, man! Yeah, the prices for the region-free versions of the Panasonic's are absolutely crazy, lol.
Just Confirmed that this trick also works on the regular ub820 ! This is a huge help! Thank you!
Glad it helped! Thanks for watching.
i have a Panasonic UB 900 (am thinking of upgrading to the 820 ) and just tried this on the extras disc with Barbarella 4k and it worked....thank you.
I’m glad it worked for you! Thanks for watching.
This worked great on my Panasonic DP-UB9000! Thx!
I'm glad it worked for you! Thanks for watching.
YOU ARE MY HERO! Thank you for this hack, it works on my Panasonic 4k player.
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching.
Thanks a bunch!
My UB820 just arrived yesterday and I got it to work with 1 press on the stop button to get the generic blu ray screen to pop and then at least 2 presses on the top Menu.
You're welcome! I'm glad it worked well for you, and thanks for watching.
This worked for my DMP-BD70V. Thanks!
I'm glad it worked for you! Thanks for watching.
Thanks! Can't believe how easy this was. Just unclocked my region B 4K copy of Hellraiser. ;)
I'm glad it worked for you! Enjoy!
All 4K discs are region free anyway! But the standard blu-ray could be region locked.
I can verify that it works on BD-65 Panasonic! Thanks so much!
That's great to hear! You're welcome.
Worked on my UB420 - thanks!
Glad it worked for you! Thanks for watching.
Well, after getting Conan 4k from Arrow, im in the uk, so this one the first time i was able to test the region A blu raybfor the special features, and it worked a treat. Thank you so much.
You're very welcome! Thanks for watching and your feedback.
Same with me and the Conan bonus feature Blu-ray. Tested it on my UB900 and it worked.
But tried it with another disc „Jodorowsky's Dune“ from 2013 and it didn’t work. It also didn’t work with US DVDs
Here in the netherlands (region B): i tried it in the panasonic9000 and yes, the region A blu ray in the Conan 4k box did play.. :-) but it did not for example on releases of Shout Select and some others. So for me only the Arrow releases work.
Worked for me. Brilliant!
I’m glad it worked for you!
Awesome! Many Thanks. It works on my Panasonic UB9000.
Glad I could help! Thanks for watching.
@@b-icemediajust try one movie I received now does not work. Try one other movie I have still work with that trick .Well spend money for nothing.
How does this all work? I also have a Panasonic uhd-9000?
Fantastic. It worked . Thanks
(Sony BDP S3700)
I’m glad it worked for you! Thanks for watching.
If you own a Panasonic blue-ray player in Australia you can take it to a Panasonic service centre and they will make it region free for you at no cost. It's all about a high court ruling that says mod chips are legal. So having region locks here is pointless.
Wow, that would be nice! We unfortunately don't have that luxury, but it's great to see that 4K discs are largely region-free, so it's a step in the right direction.
Have I have the same Blu ray player as you. Got it back in December. Bought Valerianan and the city of a thousand planets in 3D two years ago from Amazon for PlayStation 4. I still have my 3D tv. I was so disappointed that it worked. Came across the Panasonic UB820P-K put the movie in and it didn't work. On the box it has region A only. Came across video did exactly what and it works in 3D. Thanks 👍
Glad it worked for you! I'm definitely jealous you have a 3D setup still, haha. I wish they would integrate it into new TVs.
@@b-icemedia Thanks 👍. Just finished watching Valerian in 3D and it's pretty good. It would be nice if they brought back 3D. Going to get Avatar 2 in 3D when it comes out.
Worked perfectly!
Glad it worked for you! Thanks for watching.
Worked for me👍🏼
Great to hear! Thanks for watching.
Definitely worked for me
Great to hear! Thanks for watching.
Thanks brother .
Thanks for watching, and I’m glad I could help!
Thank You!! I just tried this on my new Panasonic DP-UB9000-P1K player (Region A/1) and it worked great on the superior Region B "African Queen" Blu-ray disc. I don't have any other Region B Blu-rays on hand yet, but I am hopeful that they will work as well. I did notice that this workaround does not seem to work on DVDs, such as the random Region 2 / PAL disc that I tried. Would you know of a similar fix for DVDs on this player? Either way, I'm very appreciative that it works on Blu-rays (so far). Before finding your post today, I attempted all kinds of Google-related remote code suggestions, none of which worked. So a big Thank You again and keep up the good work! I'm now a subscriber. 😊
Glad I could help! I don't know of any tricks for DVDs, nor do I have many in my collection, so I'm not sure about that one. I hope many of my future videos will be helpful as well; thank you for subscribing!
Panasonic players can be made region free for DVD with a certain remote code. You can either program the codes into something like a Harmony remote but much easier just to buy a region hack remote that sends the codes. Easily available on eBay etc. for a few bucks and work on virtually every Panasonic Blu-ray and 4K player.
The hack shown here does work, but not with every disk. Some disks seem to have an extra check that can’t be bypassed with this.
(For example, Kino Lorber region A disks can’t be bypassed on a Region B player with this trick, while Criterion disks work ok).
The 15 in Red is the BBFC (UK) and the blue is the Republic of Ireland certification symbols.
Thank you for that clarification!
this just worked for me on my region B player with a region A disc
That's great to hear! Thanks for watching.
Thanks a lot
Happy to help! Thanks for watching.
I just bought the UB-420. As one of the seasons of HighSchool DxD are Region B only for some reason, that’ll probably be the one I’ll try this trick on. When I’ve gotten that season, which is season 2 IIRC, I’ll post an update if this trick works.
Sounds great! Keep me posted.
Thanks it workrd
Awesome! Thanks for watching.
The "top menu" workaround only works on SOME region-locked movies & SOME players. If you're serious about playing region-locked movies from other regions, get a region-free player from a reputable modder like 220 Electronics, World Imports or Bombay Electronics in the U.S., Multiregion Magic or TPS in the UK, or their Amazon marketplaces. Reputable modders stand behind their work, especially important since the mods usually void the manufacturer's warranty.
Since very few 4K Blu-rays are region-locked (they violate the 4K Blu-ray standard by manually adding regular Blu-ray region locks), it will be cheaper & easier for many people to buy a region-free regular Blu-ray player than a region-free 4K player. (I own a 220-modded UB820 myself, but I wanted a single player for my stand & got it just as the rogue region-locked 4K's first appeared.) Be sure the player is region-free modded for regular Blu-ray (ABC) as well as DVD (1 to 9); 220 in particular sells many of its Blu-ray players with only DVD mods at base price, charging an extra $40 to add the Blu-ray mod.
Thanks for your feedback! I agree that buying a region-free player is the best way to go about it, but I think this workaround is a good option if you have maybe one or two foreign titles in your collection, especially if this works on your player. I think many people don't want to pay the extra money to go region-free because of that reason.
I have a Region free Blu Ray player and 2 Region free 4K players
This works on most blurays. But not dvd so far that I tested.
Yeah, that's what I've heard. There may be other workarounds for DVDs out there!
Only works with some titles, not with SHOUT FACTORY at all. Also doesn't work with dvds.
Hmm, that's the first I've heard on Scream Factory. Thanks for the insight! And yes, there is no work-around for DVDs that I've ever seen.
In fact it works on just a few titles.
@@jjphoenix4055I noticed all my region b arrow blus work with the hack but not my eureka blus, so I'm guessing it only likes certain disc coding?
Hi, great vid. Would this work for a region 2 DVD to play in a Region 1 Blu-ray?
I'm not honestly sure. I don't have many DVDs anymore, but I believe I have seen someone say that it doesn't work. I'd still give it a shot and see!
Unfortunately this didn’t work for me. I have the Panasonic dp-ub9000 and when I put in a region B disc it doesn’t take me to the screen where it says disc can’t be played. It just takes me to the screen where I’m supposed to click top menu 3 times. I press it and nothing happens
That’s definitely odd! That’s the first I’ve heard of that happening. Sorry it didn’t work out for you.
I’m personally dealing with a region B copy of Hellraiser on blu ray, my only issue being that I use a PS5 as my player and it doesn’t seem to work because it automatically takes me back to the PS menu. Any thoughts?
I don’t think there are any work arounds for PS4/PS5. Their operating systems are a lot different than traditional blu-ray players.
I bought a studio canal blu ray. The method gets me to the main menu of the disk. But then theres no sound and no menu appears to start the movie. I get the background of the start menu tho to the film but cant play anything
That’s definitely odd. That’s the first time I’ve heard of it not playing if it gets you to the menu. Almost seems like an error if it’s not displaying the menu.
@b-icemedia it's so weird. It's Red Sonja with Arnold Schwarzenegger. I get the studio canal intro then when I get to the main menu. I get the clips of the movie playing in the background. But I get no option to play movie or scene selection, etc etc.. I push every button on my remote and nothing happens.
I’m in the UK I have the same 4K player. The majority of my Region A discs are Criterion so, I just stop the disc on the Region Locked screen, press the menu button and it starts normally. However I found this only works with Criterion discs, other distributors it doesn’t work.
Hmm, it's odd how it varies by region and player. I'm glad it's working for your Criterion discs! They have a lot of great titles.
I have made my Panasonic UB820 region free by fitting a modification kit/chip
You just unlocked a whole new world for me along with this video - I had a couple of Criterion 4K Combos imported and the special features are only on the Blu-Ray discs. Now I can play them! It also means I can easily import Criterion Blu-Ray titles without the need of region unlocked player! Thank you!
I have Panasonic EU region player and I tested with First Blood 4k UHD’s companion region A bonus blu-ray disc. I press stop and top menu and the disc starts. Only problem is that bonus disc’s menus are not visible so I can’t choose or play contents.
@@rokydo you press stop then top menu or both at the same time?
Tried it with a universal blu ray from America. It dosent work as it keeps saying this operation cannot be performed by the disc. It does however work on Hong Kong blu rays though.
Thanks for the feedback! It's always helpful to know which formats and players seem to accept this workaround.
Also on Southeast Asian, South Korean, South American, Mexican and Taiwanese blu rays.
I got it to work for a region b locked blu ray I have but anyway I can get it to play pal region 0 dvds? I have the same blu ray player by the way.
Very nice! It’s a great player. From other comments I’ve seen, it does not work for DVDs.
I have a Panasonic Player and your hack only works for a couple of my region 18 discs but not all . I have regions 12, 15 and 16 and it doesnt work for any of those. This Sucks. Is there a way you can figure out these other regions? Thanks ahead of time.
Ah, I’m sorry it’s not working for all of them! I may have another workaround, but I haven’t had a chance to test it yet. I will have it posted soon if it works!
Couldn't understand which button your "smashing" after the stop button
Top Menu button!
With mod firmware ub420/820/9000 + this trick we can enter to most bd disc and also skip most ads from every disc.
Ah, I didn't even think of that! I enjoy watching the old trailers, so I don't mind watching them, haha.
Did not work with Panasonic DP-UB450. Tried it with "The Man From Earth" And Halloween. B player, A discs. Got back to "Invalid Region" message after STOP and TOP MENU.
I'm sorry it didn't work for you! It seems to be hit or miss or dependent on the software.
I tried a studio canal disc, and it did not work for me it just said the operation is prohibited by the disc I'll certainty try it out with other disc but I am in the fortunate position of owning a jailbroken ps3 which in my opinion is the best region free player. btw my player was a Panasonic UB820
Hmm, sorry it didn't work out for you! It seems to depend on the software and/or studios. I've noticed all of my Region B's play normally besides the Boogeyman in my player.
Yes it got me to the Blu-ray menu but it won’t let me play the movie.
Ah, sorry it didn't work for you fully! You're the second person to tell me this. Very strange it would let you get that far and not let you play it.
will this work for Sony BDP S500 or for Sony BDP S2000ES, who knows please write???
I'm not sure, but a lot of comments have said this doesn't work with most Sony players.
I have a panasonic blu ray player dmp-bdt167 player and I bought a remote control for it because the person I had it from lost the original control and I'm looking for a code to unlock the region to play blu rays and dvds from any region. Please help. Robert Bridgend Wales
I'm not sure of any specific codes, but there are some various options you can try online!
Cool
Thanks for watching! I hope it worked for you.
Does it work with the Sony X700 4k Blu ray player?
From what other comments are saying, it does not. I haven’t gotten to test it personally though.
Not working for 820 with reg B Ratatouille 😢. Are you running the current firmware?
Dang, I'm sorry to hear that! At the time of the video I was, but I haven't checked for an update in a while.
Can’t get my Onkyo blu ray player region free. Does this work for Onkyo blu ray player as well?
I honestly had no idea they had blu-ray players, haha. So, I’m not sure, but it wouldn’t hurt to try!
Press stop once and press popup menu three times and it should start the movie.
Mine is weird about the number of button presses. Sometimes it's only two, and sometimes it's three, lol.
I had to press mine once in the stop button and once for the top menu.
Always keep the instructions on how to keep your multi region 4K player working
This isn't an actual multi-region player, but I agree if you do have one.
@@b-icemedia I do have one 🙂
What about for DVDs?
I haven’t come across any tricks for DVDs. They’re a lot tougher to bypass.
Tried it on the Region B Disc of The Fifth Element on my Panasonic UB9000 and it worked but with only two taps of the stop button and maybe two on the Top Menu button. It doesn't work on my Oppo-203 however.
It seems to vary on how many stop presses it takes! lol. Not too surprising on the Oppo, their software is much different.
@@b-icemediaI believe that only a hardware fix will enable region free ability on the Oppos.
@@MrNorcal81 Probably so! Hardware mods can convert any player.
Would this Hack work on UK Panasonic players? Great video!
I would think so because the interface is the same, but I can't say for sure!
I'll be damned....it friggin' works! 👏 model is DMP-BTD230.
Haha, glad it worked for you! Thanks for watching.
I have 2 US Blu-rays. I just ripped them and the Panasonic Blu-ray player plays it perfectly via USB.
That's definitely another route you can go! Thanks for sharing.
Works on my820
Great to hear!
I am wondering how can you import like a Japanese movie into an American Xbox one or blu ray player. Cause I really want that Godzilla Minus One Blu ray in Japan bundle but I don’t know what’s going to happen if I put it in an English blu ray or Xbox. B-ice Media can you help me with this? Cause I really hope it won’t break when I put it in my American movie players.
It won't break if you throw it in either of those players. I don't think there are any work arounds for PlayStation or Xbox, but Japanese blu-rays should be Region A.
@@b-icemedia ok and those consoles i have are from the U.S. so they are also part of region a?
@@EastFortress Yes, that's correct!
I’ve used the hack and it works for Arrow & Eureka videos, but nothing from the 88 label. Anyone know why this happens?
I wonder if there are different ways that region locks are encoded on the disc? Not sure.
Based on what I heard, these hacks may or may not work depending on different factors. But I think that it is due to the way the region lock was coded on that disc. You can try searching for other hacks on Google and see if something works for your other discs.
i tried on my sony any other tips not working
Sorry it didn't work for you, man! I'm not sure of any specific tips for Sony's.
Anyone know if this will work for Sony ubp-x700 4k player ? I dont have any other region blurays so i cant test it. But theres a few older kovies i can get for way better deal thats rehion B but dont wanna get them if i cant play them!?
I think multiple people in the comments have said it doesn’t work on Sony’s. I’ll be getting in a Sony 4K player next month, and I’ll look into a potential workaround!
@@b-icemediadid you find out if the sony player can play other regions?
It took me to the film menu but didn't make it when play was pressed, it takes me back to the message region b.😢
Sorry it didn’t work for you! What player do you have?
My player is a Panasonic UB420 4K
Work With Sony UBP X700?
I’m not sure, I haven’t had the opportunity to test it on a Sony.
no definitely not working
How 'bout showing the TV screen while you're pushing buttons? It'd be nice to see what's happening on the screen.
My apologies! I'll definitely keep that in mind for future videos. Thanks for your feedback!
Hello, nobody has a trick for Panasonic DMP-BDT180 ?
You might try home theater or physical media forums on Reddit.
First, I tried opening tray and enter 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 0 . Then, I reseted the UB-400 player (Region A). Finally, I inserted a B disc and play. It didn't work, it displayed restriction, but after I entered code 123 and voilá , It worked. I don't know if long code worked or 123 code... I hope it helps.
Nice! I may have to try this way myself. Thank you!
@@b-icemedia please let me know if it works. Just try playing a B disc and enter 123 :D
Does it work for Sony? I have a old sony blu ray player that is region locked. Also fo I have to do this each time?
I’m not completely sure as each model and current software plays a part. And yes, you’d have to do this each time.
@@b-icemedia Didnt work but thanks, might get a new one some time
Hi,
I've just been informed that The Abyss uhd 4k uk release has been cancelled due to the Rat scene.
Anyway, I was wondering if this hack would work on a region B player with a region A disc??
It looks like it's going to be the only way I can buy The Abyss.😢
I did hear about that for everyone in the UK! I'm sorry you all have to deal with importing. I'm not sure as far as Region A discs playing on a Region B player. If this hack doesn't work, then you'd probably need to invest in a region-free player.
It works. 😊
Not if you import the 4K probably with Blu ray. Butt then you have to have an UHD player. Friend of mine has a Pana blu ray player region B (not sure which model) but he says this hack also works the other way around so region A disc in region B player. Hope i could help you with this.
@proclaimed75 yeah mate that's brilliant 👏 Thank you. 🫡
The Abyss’s disc is actually region-free, so this will be a non-issue, which is great!
just tried it with a panasonic dmp-bdt167 (european model) and a confirmed A only disc - doesn't work
i see the "FU" message, i press stop (once, multiple times. doesn't matter). function not available, stays on the fu message.
same when the disc is still loading. either throws me back to the home menu or 'function not available'
Hmm, sorry it didn't work for you! I think there was someone else in the comments that said it didn't work for their foreign player. The software may be different and/or not compatible with Region B to A.
I wish this procedure/trick would work on my Samsung, but it did not...
Sorry it didn't work for you! Never know until you try.
Worked for me, thanks alot mate
I have the dmr-ubt1
Very nice! I'm glad it worked for you.
Sadly didn't work on my region A Shout Factory The Thing Collector's edition blu ray.
I have to watch my 4k movie on the blu ray player, and my special features from the collector's edition on my PC with the 4K monitor 🥲
I will be importing all Alien, Aliens, Abyss and True lies on 4K disks, so if the hack doesnt work, ill be buying a region free player.
Ah, I'm sorry it didn't work for you! Thanks for the feedback. Yeah, I only have a handful of Region B discs, so a region-free player will be the way to go if this doesn't work for you.

@b-icemedia What about Xbox One? I have series 5 of Doctor Who that was from the UK. It doesn't work on my PS5 or my Sony blu ray player, but it did work on my Xbox One.
I think it all depends on the software involved with each unit. I’m glad it worked on your Xbox!
UHD Blu-rays are region free.. A big advantage.. However I dont like HDR versions..
Yes, that's what I love about 4Ks! My dad is the same way about HDR, but I love it, haha.
Hay bud, I'm from Australia and tried a region A disc and unfortunately it didn't work for me
Ah, man, I'm sorry to hear that! It may be specific to the software it's currently on, and the region it's originally locked with. I never updated mine out of the box for fear of losing this feature.
How can i do it in PS5
I don’t think there’s any way you can for PS5. Sony is much harder to bypass than other brand players.
What does “smash” the Top Menu mean? Hold it down? Pressure dozens of times as fast as I can?
Yes, I had meant pressing the button quickly.

Yes, I've seen there's other videos on this as well! It seems to be dependent on the software and studio. For the few Region Bs I have, it works.

Just buy a region free player, pick 2 up few years ago, under $100 each
That's definitely an option, but most players are more expensive to go region-free unless it's a cheap player.
Good players staring at $105, LG and Sony, Bombay Electronics, specializing in Region Free players
Those are good brands, but I was meaning more of lack of HDR formats, playable formats, and loading time.

doesnt work anymore
Did you update to the latest software? If so, that's probably why.
Does this work with DVDs as well?
I haven't tested any personally, but from what I read, it does not.

I'll add chapters to this video. Thank you!
It doesn't work AT ALL!
I'm sorry to hear that! You may need a region-free player to do the job.
Does not work
Sorry it didn’t work for you! It seems to be hit or miss and depend on the studio.
No it didn’t I’ve got a Panasonic blue ray 4K
Sorry it didn't work for you!
It costs $400 on Amazon!!!
It'll drop in the $300s again soon. There are always deals, especially during the holiday season.
mine is a multi region blu ray and it will not fucking play dr no from my james bond dvd collection. says it's coded for region a only. pissing me off. that's why I bought the fucking thing!
Man, that sucks. DVDs are a lot harder to bypass in general.
Min yoo
Thanks for watching!
Probably only work on US players
I’m honestly not sure on that one. I think there has been some Region B users in the comments that said it worked for them.
Or you could just buy a region-free player. This seems like a lot of hassle for no reason.
I would if I had more than a few foreign discs, but it wouldn't be worth it for myself and for most others in my situation.
I don't get why DVDs and blu rays are region locked these days anyone know how to do this on the DVD side of it as I want to but 2 boxset that I can only find on amazon but there region 1 I am in region 2 thanks
Not sure either! It's a dumb thing that was implemented. I'm glad that 4Ks are largely region-free.
