In Acer computer you should have Cyberlink PowerDVD software, please open the software and follow the below mentioned steps

To update the Cyberlink PowerDVD software:

3. Click the arrow in the upper left hand corner of the window next to Cyberlink PowerDVD.

Reminder: Blu-ray protection software prevents Blu-ray movies from being displayed on both the notebook LCD and an external monitor at the same time.

Thanks and regards,

sure you have blue ray?

try best player program, it does not have region-check

Can u play them without connecting to the TV?" I didnt think blue ray disks were playable on laptops yet!

The specifications of this laptop states that it has a Dual layer DVD R/W drive. This drive can only play DVDs and CDs but not BluRay discs and it can burn single and dual layer DVDs and CDs.

blu ray disc are read only for a new dvd blue ray device... buy a blue ray dvd device... that is the solutions to your and too expensive...

i had the same problem, you need to right click on the desktop when the hdmi lead is plugged in, go to personalize, tasks, option to connect to a projector or other external display, and connect external display only. the blu ray cant play on 2 screens at the same time. my only other problem is that on some blu ray discs, i get as far as the title screen and then cant press play in any way, can anyone help???

Hi there
You will need a HDMI cable, that is of course if the laptop has HDMI out and that the TV supports HDMI.
This is the only way you will be able to experience the full Blue-ray HD experience through the LCD TV.


Good luck and thanks for using Fixya!!!!

You say this doesn't happen on regular cable or when playing a regular DVD. Hmm. Is this Blu-Ray player connected by simplink? HDMI is a bi-directional format cable, so  there are cases in setups where your tv can send commands to your blu-ray player and vice versa. It could be a problem with your blu-ray player that it is sending for some odd reason a mute command to your tv. Or is processing a command that your TV interprets to be a mute command when playing blu-rays. Because if it was the TV itself chances are you'd see this when watching a normal DVD or on cable as well. Since you say you're not, it leads me to believe the issue lies with the blu-ray player itself. 

i have sony bravia. i couldn't connect to my ps3 with hdmi cable. but i get only audio. i think it is with the tv settings. can you help
