My bluray player in my acer comes up with a "cannot play right protected content" when i try and play a bluray dvd in my bluray player

I had a similar issue. Try resetting your resolution. By default it should be at the highest level. I reset mine to 1080i and now the BluRays will play.

My TV is a few years old, I think it was bogging down because it was getting too much information from the player, but that's just a guess.

Hi,

I think your TV may not have this option at all. However, I can also come up with other ideas:

Some adjustments might become unavailable depending on the input or content, have you tried adjusting this parameter in different inputs? e.g. TV channels, HDMI, composite, component? Or different content? e.g. HDMI input but with a signal from a bluray player playing a bluray disc vs. signal from a bluray player playing a DVD. If you don't see the tint "unlocked" in any of these different scenarios the option might as well be natively unavailable.

Every blu ray or dvd player sold in the world comes as standard unlocked to play any disc from any region. On the fifth play of a disc the DVD or Bluray will become locked to that region. So if you play 5 USA dvd's on the player after the fifth disc has been played only US dvd's will be recognised by the player, Same applies to BLUrays. So if i were you i would be careful about what discs you are putting in the player. Otherwise you will be left with a bluray player that cannot be used in Australia. After that happens the only way to play other region discs would be to get the player unlocked. Another point to add , a blueray player has two lasers one to play bluray and another to play DVD's. Lasers can fail so you could be able to play DVD's but not Bluray or vice versa depending on which laser has failed.

Hi there, this is a problem with ALL Bluray players, it is an annoying format problem, where "resume play "is not available on JAVA enabled Blurays, (BD-J).

JAVA content is usually the interactive menus and extra features on specific Blurays. These are essentially computer programs, so when you close them and re-open them they open from the beginning, (Just like on your computer, when you close a program).

All standard DVD's and non BD-J discs will resume play as expected, this is why some people think there is an intermittent fault, and others say that there model of player is working fine. Hope this helps.

Here is an link to SonyAsia's FAQ

Not sure what you are playing it on. A BLURAY disc needs a BluRay compatible disc player, PS3 has one built in. Most PC DVD drives dont play BluRay as standard. Normal HOME DVD players of course cant play them either.

Sounds like the protection circuit is activating to protect the output amplifiers. Common causes are hooking up more speakers than are suggested. The only thing I can relate to only BluRay disks could be the sound is more demanding. That would not normally occur. Try lowering the volume and see if that helps. Especially don't hook up extra speakers because that overloads the unit.

go to the acer website and see if there is a new update for the bluray player.

you must have a bluray supported software such as power dvd 9 or win dvd you must purchase software to playback bluray disks as the codec is licenced

The Sony just won't playback the BRAND of your dvds. Panasonic and even few other brands dvd players are able to playbacks these OEM dvds.Not much you could do.
