Hi everyone.

I am in Christchurch and have a lot of disabilities, so I spend a lot of time watching DVDs, my New Player is a Panasonic UB820, some of my DVDs say they are region 2 and will not play, I am not sure how to unlock it but I was told I need some kind of remote?

I was hoping someone here might know exactly what I have to do.

Many thanks

Madeline

Madeline:

Ahuriri62:

I have one of those special remotes for the Panasonic DVD players.

I last used it about 8-9 years ago, it may work for you.

Its yours if you want to try it, just PM me your address and I can sent it to you.

I am happy to give it a go, not sure how it will work with my ub820! But at this point I am willing to try anything :) I will message my address :) I am happy to pay something for it, and shipping :)

THIS WORKED!!! Its all going fine now! Magic! My care worker had to walk me through it cause I couldn't do it myself but gave it a second chance and it worked, so the first must have been user error!

Seriously Ahuriri62, you are the most awesome person in the world right now to me.
