Panasonic UB820 Blu-ray Player Multi Region Hack - Full guide!!
Ғылым және технология
Watch how to install the Rattlebyte Multi-region chip into a Panasonic UB820 4k Blu-ray Player to enable all regions of blu-ray and DVD discs to be played. I couldn't find any clear videos on exactly what's involved for the UB820 so I hope this helps anyone that's looking for information or just some reassurance on the process!
I'm very satisfied with the end result and get to watch all of my multi-region collection.
I bought my Rattlebyte chip directly from their website:

If you're not comfortable with soldering, take a look at some modified players instead, which I've linked below:
Region Free Sony BDP-S3500
amzn.to/3y3MPry
Region Free Panasonic UB820

If you click the Amazon.com affiliate links, it'll take you straight to the items and really help out my channel! It won't cost you anything. Appreciate it!

Very useful mod that is cheaper than buying a region free player. I have been soldering all my life so fitting the kit will not be an issue.

I feel like you missed highlighting one of the most important features, and I would have liked to see a review of using it. The ability to load Subtitles from USB to use with a Blu-ray, so that you can play foreign movies and add English subtitles even if they're not included on the disc. My player does work with the "Magic button combo" so, the ability to load external subs really is the only thing I'd buy this for.
The last part of the mod is disconnecting your doorbell!

Haha! Agreed!
Are you able to perform normal Firmware updates now? Great video thanks
At 2:31, that little green board/chip with the qr code, is that the wifi chip? In between the steel/metal sheet? The one where it gets a close up at 2:34 on the upper left, where it has a wire coming out of it.

I'm confused as the official listing for this player states Plays Blu-ray Discs Zones A B & C Plays DVDs from regions 1-8

Thanks for watching the video! As far as I'm aware, an unmodified UB850 can only play region-locked 1080p blurays and DVDs for the region in which it is sold. 4k blurays generally aren't region locked so can play anywhere. If the listing you're looking at says otherwise, it has likely been modified which isn't necessarily a problem but you won't have a warranty from Panasonic.
Dodgy soldering skills and why on earth would you mount the board on top a disc tray. Amateur 🙄

Oh yeh, really painless dismantling your player and having to have genius level soldering skills. So no, not quite ‘painless’
