    My vaio vgn-ar61m has a bluray player. But I can't get a film on my tv (connected through hdmi cable).
    "Youre system does not comply playing blu ray protected with a security system".
    Excuses for my poor English, but can anyone help me??

    I think your TV is not HDCP compliant (meaning it can't play Blu-ray). What tv are you hooking it up to? How are you connecting it?

    Thnx for your quick reply.
    My tv is a Tatung V32MCHK EE1 (European model). It's HD Ready and system pal/secam. Video pal/secam/ntsc and the panelresolution is 1366x768 (WXGA) @ 60Hz. I can't find anything about HDCP in the manual.

    From a quick google search your display is hdcp complaint so that is good. If your TV has multiple HDMI ports try using another one. That is all I can think of, someone else may be able to help you better. Hope you get your problem resolved.

    Make sure that you have the computer set to play only on the TV. The blu-ray will not play on both the computer screen and the tv at the same time.

    Install the latest video driver. Note: do not install modified driver from 3rd party site since they are not official and may cause your BD player to stop working.

    Download the latest WinDVD BD for VAIO from http://esupport.sony.com/US/perl/swu-download.pl?mdl=VGNFW190&upd_id=4175&os_id=29

    In order to install the file with your system, you need to bypass the model checker. To do this, you need to extract the file manually using a 3rd party file extractor, such as Universal Extractor, http://legroom.net/software/uniextract.

    You may need to set the audio output to default to HDMI.
