JP1 Remotes

[ernestobennett]

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.

Did you find the info to make your unit region free here:
https://www.videohelp.com/dvdhacks/panasonic-dmp-bdt220/11799

Regarding PAL playback, one of the posts suggested that you need to load a different firmware, but the site that they listed has long gone.

I just did a search and found this site, maybe if you select the European firmware, it would make your unit play PAL discs?

The website they listed is no longer active.

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.

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.

[The Robman]

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.

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)
