Notes

The content of certain Blu-ray Disc™ movies may require a HDCP compliant monitor. If your TV/monitor has a HDMI™ connection, it should support the HDCP content protection functionality.

If you connect to your TV/monitor using DVI, check your display’s user manual to see if it is HDCP compliant.

Analog connections such as Composite and S-Video are able to output BD content, but only at standard definition resolutions.

Higher capacity analog connections, such as VGA, are able to output BD content, but may be limited to a lower quality if the disc manufacturer limits the video resolution for non-HDCP compliant displays.

To maximize picture quality of Blu-ray Disc recorded content on compatible external displays, Sony recommends setting the display resolution to 1080p or 720p and disabling dual display mode.

When powering your VAIO notebook computer with a battery, the power management features of the system can limit CPU and video functions, interrupt tasks with warning messages, or may cause the system to suspend or hibernate before tasks are completed. Therefore, Sony recommends that you use your AC adapter for demanding tasks like burning data to DVD or Blu- ray Disc media, playback of Blu-ray Disc recorded content, and high end graphic functions such as 3D rendering to maximize display quality and to avoid possible disruption of operations.
