I have been reading, that there is a disc that can unlock various regions on early Panasonic DVD players.
The model I own is Panasonic a-160 (R4 Pal) I also read it only unlocks NTSC regions, that I don’t care. Looking for a server to d/l this image. This player plays DVD-Rs so it shouldn’t be a problem. 
Thx for the suggestions, and I hope you have a nice day.
