Using a Palm
Thanks to Lorenz, Palm users can now use OmniRemote and one of two methods below to make their player/recorder region free in an easy way.

Method:1 (Using a OmniRemote IR code file)
1. Download this Palm Memo file: PanasonicRegionHackIRcode.mpa.
2. Open MemoPad on your Desktop.
3. Transfer the Memo file via HotSync to your Palm.
4. Open OmniRemote on Palm.
5. Load default OmniRemote database (if you modified something before).
6. Import category from MemoPad.
7. Switch to category VCR.
8. Turn on Panasonic DVD player/recorder (No disc inserted!).
9. On your Palm press buttons 0-9 in ascending order - that's it!.

Method:2 (Using a OmniRemote PDB file)
1. Download PanasonicRegionHack.pdb.
2. Install "PanasonicRegionHack.pdb" on your Palm.
3. Open OmniRemote.
4. Load database "PanasonicRegionHack".
5. Switch to category "RegionHack".
6. Turn on Panasonic DVD player/recorder (No disc inserted!).
7. On your Palm press button "Sequence" (which is a macro for pressing all buttons).

You may loose any previous setting with OmniRemote if you choose the last method.
