Hello everyone, I'm new member!
I also have a DMR-EZ49VEBK and I would be interested to know if there is a method to change the language of menu in Italian!
The DVD/VHS recorder is originally from the UK but also works with the Italian DVB-T !
Thanks

If you don't see "Italian" in the menu screen via the remote......No.

To enter the service mode from standby simultaneously press
open / close + stop + DVD copying (for 5 seconds).
Does anyone know how to navigate the menu?

It's better to say "... change the language of the menu to Italian" because if you say "... in Italian" that may cause native English speakers to think that your menu is now in Italian but you want a different language. I think you want to change TO Italian not change FROM Italian.

Sorry, but I don't know if it's possible to make that kind of change.

There is no procedure mentioned in the EZ49VBK service manual relating to language changes, so there is probably no "secret" language option via service mode.

Panasonic, like most electronics companies, sells specific model versions for specific countries with specific features locked in ROM chips. The choice of display/menu languages you can select using the normal controls varies, depending on where the unit was sold. For example, German-market Panasonics typically only let you choose between German or English, "Continental-market" Panasonics offer the choice of French, Spanish or Italian. The UK-market Panasonics might offer only English and French.

Language options are accessed via the normal Function Menu button on the remote, when that screen appears click on "To Others" and then click on "Display." A list will then open showing you which languages your particular Panasonic can use. If Italian is not on that list, your particular recorder is not capable of operating with Italian-language menus/displays.

This is true. Years ago, in different locations worldwide, I bought Panasonic DVD-S52 three times. The first was in Dubai, UAE, where what attracted me was that it had line outs for Lf, Rf, C, Lr, Rr, sub and the clean 1080i/720p upconversion. This unit was all-region (expected in that place) and the menu had language selection for English, German, French, Italian, Spanish, Arabic, probably Russian and Persian, too. Another S52 was bought in Hong Kong, still all-region, but menu language choices featured English, Portuguese, and two types of Chinese (Mandarin & Cantonese most likely). The last S52 was bought in Stockton, California, where I was shocked to see that there were no line outs for individual surround audio channels, (apart from the token L and R) so I returned it! This unit was, as expected, strictly region 1, and menu language choices were just English, Spanish, & French. In this contest obviously the units for sale in the UAE (and probably around that region and the Levant) win hands down. But when today all you mostly get is a single HDMI port, even the US version of S52 was golden in comparison.

Did you try playing other region DVDs on it already? It might already be multi-region FWIW.
