display environment does not support protective content play back

[Tradervick]

I hooked up my Vaio Blue Ray notebook via HDMI cable to Hitachi virtual 1080p plasma tv and i received the error message above. I think i need to turn off the laptop display using the FN -F7 option. I may be doing something wrong, because when I tried this, the movie was playing and it didn't seem to work. Do i need to turn off the display before the movie starts or is there something else i need to try. Any help is much appreciated.

Hi hibee1111,

welcome to Club VAIO..

Normally the "Your display environment does not support protected content playback." message appears if you are trying to displaying your Blu-Ray movie on both your TV and Vaio..

Have you tried pressing the FN & F7 key and selecting HDMI only, you can only watch blu-ray movies on either your Vaio or TV not both together.

Then try and start the movie..
