If the player is running off of car battery, does the Pause button no longer hold the audio place?

Probably the battery on your player is not charged sufficiently to allow the player to turn on on battery power only.

hi Pjkgbr.
this is all i could find out, now if you do try this do so at your own risk.

This hack requires the S48 remote plus a universal remote configured for the S48 with a separate 'Pause' button (or another Panasonic DVD remote with a separate 'Pause' button may work).

I used a cheap universal remote.

1. Select DVD device on remote.

2. Hold magic button until the DVD button blinks twice.

3. Enter device code 0490 (DVD button blinks twice)

Neither the 'Play/Pause' nor 'Frame' buttons on the S48 remote work for this hack.

1. Power on.

2. Open tray.

3. Using the S48 remote press Audio, 1, 9, 8, 2, Subtitle

4. Using the other remote (URC 7562) press Pause.

5. Using the S48 remote press 0.

The DVD front panel should now show the text "on".

The DVD should now be region-free. Region code hack posted by spook65, December 12 2012:

DVD-S48EG-K (Region 2)

This is the process for unlocking, the Panasonic DVD-S48 for
multi-zone.

Please note, you will need a universal remote control which
has a PAUSE button in order to unlock this player.

1. Turn the power ON
2. Open the disc tray
3. Using the remotes, press AUDIO 1 9 8 2 SUBTITLE PAUSE 0
4. Switch the player to STANDBY and then switch ON again.

The display should read ON after you enter PAUSE 0.
If this doesn't happen, switch the player off and start the
sequence again.

The remote supplied with Panasonic player has a PLAY/PAUSE
button rather than a separate PAUSE button. If you use the
PLAY/PAUSE button, the tray will close and the unlock
sequence will be aborted.

To get round this, you need a universal remote set-up to use
with the DVD player. After pressing SUBTITLE on the
Panasonic remote, quickly press the PAUSE button on the
universal remote, then press 0 on the Panasonic remote to
complete to unlock code entry.

or this one.
What is the process for Multizoning a DVD-S38 / DVD-S48 / DVD-S58 / DVD-S68 / DVD-S500 / DVD-S700 DVD Player? Providing your DVD Player is one of the below models, you can multizone the unit yourself using the remote supplied with the product and another Panasonic product remote thas a Pause button on it

Applicable Models:
DVD-S38 / DVD-S48 / DVD-S58 / DVD-S68 / DVD-S500 / DVD-S700

Multizoning Process:
1. Power on the unit and open the disc tray
2. Using the remote that came with the player, press the following buttons in sequence
3. AUDIO 1 9 8 2
4. SUBTITLE
5. Using the other Panasonic Remote (not the one that came with the player), press the PAUSE button
6. On the remote that came with the DVD player, press the 0 (zero) button
7. If you have followed the above process correctly, the word ON should be shown on the front panel display of the player*1

*1 Please note: The models DVD-S500 and DVD-S700 do not have a front panel display,
so the only way of confirming that the multizoning process has been done correctly, is to
try playing a DVD disc from another region code other than region 4

it does this get used to it.

Try and press pause before you shut the player off.

Press and hold the [D] button for 1 second or longer to switch to the adjustment selection display. Press <<(rewind) or >>(fast forward) to select CLOCK. Press Play/Pause button. Press <<(rewind) or >>(FF) to select the hour or the minute. Turn the [Rotary] knob to set the correct time. Press the Play/Pause button to store the time into memory. Press the [D] button to return to the previous mode. Reference page 9 in this link to your Clarion DB165.

Just hold the Pause button a little bit longer
also try charging the Ipod in the latest itunes software

Make sure if it's the player that uses SD cards, the songs can't be in the root.  They must be in a sub-folder (subdirectory), preferably one named AUDIO.

ok... when your looking at it from the front (screen forward) on the right there are 4 buttons.. the top button is play/pause push that the turn on the mp3 player. underneath the play/pause button is the stop button this stops the song and when you hold the stop button down it turns off the mp3 player. the next buttons are the skip forward and skip backward buttons.. on the left side, the very top button the longer shaped one is the +/- volume button. underneath the +/- button is the equalizer button push this to changed the sound of the device.. and the last button i have yet to figure out.. i hope this helps you..

Try this:

1. Take the battery out of the player.
2. Press and hold the Play/Pause button.
3. While holding the Play/Pause button, plug it into the computer.
4. Continue holding the Play/Pause button for ten seconds, until Windows brings up the "Found New Hardware" dialog (Player Recovery Device).
5. Allow Windows to install the driver, then attempt to reload the firmware.

Be particularly sure that the firmware you are trying to load is the correct firmware for your particular device.
