I'm confused with that statement as well. My sync was off by seconds before the update, now it's dead on (or seems to be).

Does the BDT220 play MP4 files or not? None of the MP4 files I have will play. None of them have DRM and all of them play fine on my Sony.

Panasonic DMP-BDT 500 Region Free Hack(only works on DVD discs not Blu Ray discs).

I bet this hack will also work on the DMP-BDT 220 and 320

This is the same Panasonic remote hack that has worked on many Panasonic DVD players and Blu Ray players over the last several years.

I can confirm after the hack, the player stays Region Free even after a firmware update (just like other Panasonic Players).

I bought the One for All Essence 4 Way (URC 7140) remote.

If you have another One for All remote, it may need the 3 digit codes, simply use the 5 digit codes below but remove the first two 0. So 00191 would be 191

If I say the DVD button blinks twice, it must do this, if it does not you must try the sequence again and again until it does blink twice.

prepare:
1. select dvd device on remote
2. hold magic button until the DVD button lights up and stays lit up.
3. enter device code 0490 (DVD button blinks twice)

program buttons with the following codes:

1. 00191 = ENTER
2. 00120 = 6
3. 00065 = >=10
4. 00180 = <<
5. 00143 = Service Key
6. 00155 = AUDIO
7. 00122 = 8
8. 00117 = 1
9. 00129 = SUBTITLE
0. 00123 = 4

1. hold magic button until the DVD button lights up and stays lit
2. press 994 (DVD button blinks twice)
3. press magic
4. enter 5 digit code from above
5. press button (1,2,3 etc..) where to program it (DVD button blinks twice)
6. repeat steps 1 to 5 for all keys.

Switch on DVD player, make sure theirs no disc in it.
Press the One For All Remote buttons in the following sequence
1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 0

Then simply wait until the Panasonic makes it self region free (takes a minute or two).
When its finished it will not actually tell you its region free, just simply try it with different region DVDs.

Has anyone managed to get the "Network Drive Connection" function working on this player?
I have the DMP-BDT 500 and tried it with Windows 7 and Windows XP.
On 3 different computers, wireless and wired.
I have even tried a different router.
With the DMP-BDT 500 latest firmware (and the version before).
The player just cannot connect to the computer.

I can get DLNA working no problem, but I really wanted to use the "Network Drive Connection" function instead.

...

Why even bother if it doesn't work on blu-ray discs? As you can tell from my signature, I don't have many DVDs. This is why I bought a region-free LG BD player because there's always some condition that these hacks don't solve.

This message might occur after successfully watching a full movie or several episodes of a program so it seems to happen out of nowhere. I can't figure out what is causing this problem. Also, I notice that when it does happen, if I go into settings it doesn't show a my wireless connection. It's blank. I have to turn off the blu-ray and then turn it back on again. And for some reason, I can't turn on the player for a couple of minutes. If I try to turn on the power, nothing happens. Finally, after a few minutes it will suddenly power on.


I was wondering if anyone else has experienced or have heard of this problem and what could be causing it.


One other thing, I recently changed my wireless connection to double speed as my router supports 40 MZ. I don't know if doing this has changed a thing but am wondering if anyone has any thoughts on the double speed connection. Should it be faster? Can it cause more connection problems?


Any info would be appreciated.




What I found out is that it is not a player settings issue it was a settings issue within my Netflix account.

So below is how to fix this issue if you are experiencing it also.



Until now. The NetFlix problem is not inside the BDT320. It is in Netflix. Specifically your "Manage Video Quality" settings.

By default it is not set to anything.

To fix this simply Go to Netflix.com, log into your account, and click on the link in the upper right called "Your Account & Help". Scroll down to the "Instant Watching" section and click on the link for "Manage Video Quality".

You will need to choose one of the following options ... Good, Better, or Best ( you will probably notice NONE of these options are selected - that is the problem).

Note - it took about two days for the new setting to kick in. So be patient.

No more Netflix timeouts!!!!

Good luck

Thanks, ghice. I do have the video quality set to "best quality" so that wasn't the problem. I did update the new firmware yesterday and streamed about 1 1/2 hours of Netflix with no problems so I'm hoping that the update has resoved the issue of dropping the wireless network.

Has anyone who did have the issue of the wireless dropping out had any problems since updating the FW?

I would really like to believe that the update has fixed the problem but am sceptical and not getting my hopes too high.

After months of posting to this forum to ask how others have made their touch pad remotes work with their Harmony remotes, I'm happy to report that I've finally got it working correctly. I just had to have my Harmony 880 learn the touch pad "Up", "Down", "Left", "Right" and "Enter" or "Ok" commands. After the Harmony learned these 5 commands, all of the touch pad functions now work on the Harmony. The only minor inconvenience is that they are a little sluggish but not a big deal. I also put the "Netflix" command on the Harmony LCD screen and it now works correctly as well. Loving the DMP-BDT500 especially now.

I just bought a BDT220, and have updated it to the 1.39 firmware.

I'm surprised to find that the player will not provide standard definition (SD) videos in their original 4:3 aspect ratio. It stretches them. I did find the aspect ratio control (by pressing the "Option" button on the remote during playback, and then going to Video Settings -> Screen Aspect), but none of those options give me the SD video in the original format, rather all three do one kind of stretch or another.

I tried different HDMI output resolution settings, with no success. I thought maybe setting it to Auto would cause the HDMI output to follow the source material (i.e. output 480i for SD material on disc); then I thought maybe setting to 480p would force it to give me 4:3; no go in both cases, still stretching.

You might think this was a function of my TV, but I had this displaying just fine on the previous DVD player that this is replacing (also interfacing to the TV via HDMI). SD programming would arrive at the TV as 720p but NOT stretched.

I'm a big proponent of playing videos, including SD, in their original aspect ratio. So much so that "OAR" is in my profile, to the left, under my name smile.gif

This will be a dealbreaker for me, so any help is appreciated!

Your problem is a setup issue. Someone who owns a similar player can help you get the correct setting. It might be "Full - Size 2".

I have once again compared the 500 to other players and have come to the same conclusion. In 3d I notice less flickering and a smoother image as if there is a faster refresh rate (even though there is not). Most importantly, I have less eye fatigue. I would like to know if others are experiencing this as well?

The manual says that the Setup->System->Display->TV Aspect setting of "16:9":
Quote:
When connected to a 16:9 widescreen television and playing 4:3 ratio image:
16:9 - Video is displayed as a 4:3 ratio image in the center of the screen
There are three other values for that setting: the first two, "4:3 Pan & Scan" and "4:3 Letterbox" select what to do when you're playing a 16:9 source when the player is connected to a 4:3 television; the other, "16:9 Full", stretches 4:3.

I'd play with them, but I don't have any source 4:3 discs. What little 4:3 material I've streamed has been displayed correctly.

What michaeltscott said: The manual says under Display Settings--TV Aspect Ratio there is a setting to have either 16:9 or 16:9 full. 16:9 is supposed to keep the original aspect ratio and 16:9 full is supposed to stretch 4:3 content to fit your screen.

I've been considering buying this player also and I cannot stand having 4:3 content stretched, so I'd like to know if you get it worked out.

Unfortunately, this seems to be a problem with many people. The occurrences of the problem have been sporadic for me. I did the update recently as well and I was hopeful that it would fix the problem. That was certainly not the case for me. Someone had posted that switching the wireless from double speed mode to single speed helped. I believe it did reduce the frequency of the problem, but it did not eliminate the problem. One person on the forum gave up and uses a wireless router that provides a hardwired ethernet connection.

This week, I thought the problem was fixed, and I went ahead and bought a second unit from Amazon. Argh.

I hope Panasonic addresses this because it is a real usability issue. We are running Netflix through our Wii because of it even though it is lower resolution.

Good luck.

Yes, Brian I recall you said less flicker, but did you have less eye strain as well? I am a bit surprised no one else has commented on this. It is not that subtle. My brother also observed less flicker and eye strain. 3d impacts people differently so curious if there are others with this observation.

I am not sure about the eye strain but I am not a big fan of 3D because of wearing glasses.

I have a dmp-bdt 310 bluray player because I need the dual hdmi capability. Is there any reason to upgrade to the bdt 500 player? I only use bluray for movies and will be watching 3d. I just wanted to make sure they wre equal in picture quality and important features.

Thanks

One thing that does favor, and several things that might (note *might*) favor, the 2012 Panasonic BDT500 player over the 2011 Panasonic BDT310:

1. The 7.1 sound from the rear RCA outs is excellent on the 500. A noticeable improvement over the 7.1 sound of my Panasonic BD85 player. It's not clear to me that the 310 has 7.1 RCA outs, but my 85 player does.

2. It remains unclear if HDMI sound is the same or slightly better with the 500.

FWIW I've had an eye out for comments on this but have so far only seen people post that the sound is the same via HDMI. I doubt any of them have actually bothered to do their own 1st hand comparison.

3. The 3D picture may be slightly better with the 500.

Note that I don't have a 3D TV, nor have I owned a Panasonic BDT310.

4. The 500 player is very fast with handling discs; but then maybe the 310 player also is?

Still curious, has anyone else with a BDT 220 (or any of these players for that matter) noticed some minor stuttering in the higher-frequency audio range when watching 5.1-encoded programming on Netflix streaming? Note that (in my case) it only happens when the audio is being sent to my Denon 4311CI AVR via HDMI, and the issue goes away if I use the optical connection instead. (Presumably this may be because optical is DD, and HDMI is DD+).

I borrowed a Roku to see if the problem still occurs, and indeed it does. So this eliminates the BD player as the culprit, and leads me to wonder if this is a Netflix encoding issue that others may be experiencing, or possibly a problem with my AVR (which seems to handle all other 5.1/7.1 surround formats flawlessly.)

As I stated previously, one stretch where it is very noticeable is during the "Battlestar Galactica" title sequence in season 3 and later episodes.

The regular Panny BD hack works on the 500.


Put in a region disc.
When the region warning screen comes up press Stop>1
When "1" blinks in the upper right corner press OK



I don't know if anything will be affected if you use the DVD hack with it.

Yes! That did it. I expanded on your manual quote above to show the two options available

What's unfortunate is that this setting A) is not accessible from the "Option" menu when playing a DVD and B) is also not accessible on the settings "Video" sub-menu. Those are the the two places I looked. This setting is on the "System" sub-menu. And of course finding an aspect ratio control on the Options menu is misleading because there's another one on the Settings -> System sub-menu.

So out of the box, the default is "16:9 Full", which is understandable since most people stretch their SD (and then call it HD smile.gif ). Changing that to "16:9" fixed it for me.

Hopefully I should only have to change it once. Thanks michaeltscott!

Check the region code on the disc." message for DVDs is replaced by a simple "Cannot play" message on the player's FL display.
Other region DVDs still won't play !!!
According to the enhanced firmware website, this happens because American and Japanese Panasonic Blu-ray players are restricted to NTSC-only playback.

I have a region 2 player (I'm in the UK).
UK players can play NTSC and PAL DVDs.
I assume your problem is the American Player can only play NTSC ?
Which is not really a region code problem, but still a big problem.

I see where you are coming from, I originally wondered if you could use the UK Panasonic Firmware to make your player NTSC and PAL.
But then your American Blu Rays would not work in it!

Here in the UK, lots of us bought loads of Region 1 American DVDs.
Since at the beginning, there were loads of films on Region 1, but hardly any on Region 2 DVD.

I had a chance to connect the Roku to a friend's Denon AVR 2311 and cued up a sequence where I had noticed the audio issue previously mentioned. The issue was still there, somewhat to my relief (to me, it means no problems with my AVR). Something wrong with Netflix's implementation of DD+, IMO. If others can't notice it, then all the better. It's fairly subtle. But once you detect it, it's still apparent. I have been able to point it out to friends.

Apparently another workaround is to set the player's output to PCM. Can anyone tell me if this will lead to equivalent audio quality when choosing 7.1 audio codecs on BDs, as compared to bitstream? I like the assurance of using bitstream and seeing the relevant codec type being displayed on my AVR, rather than just seeing "Multi Ch In" when it's receiving PCM.

I have the DMP-BDT 500 and tried it with Windows 7 and Windows XP.
On 3 different computers, wireless and wired.
I have even tried a different router.
With the DMP-BDT 500 latest firmware (and the version before).
The player just cannot connect to the computer.
I can get DLNA working no problem, but I really wanted to use the "Network Drive Connection" function instead.
I was able to get the network drive working on the 220 (and 110 from last year). First had to setup sharing on windows 7 for specific folder. then on player I entered the ip address of PC, the specific folder name (setup name in advanced sharing), then the user ID and password for logging into windows. connection was no problem. this allowed me to play mkv files over network as those files are not recognized over dnla option (for me at least). So now I can steam mkv over network drive or watch via usb. Hope this helps.

EQUAL QUALITY - I use PCM all the time.
