Your VAIO computer needs to be connected to the Internet to play DVD-RW, DVD-
RAM, and DVD-R (single layer or dual layer) media that are compliant with the Content
Protection for Recordable Media (CPRM) standard.
To record, edit, or play copyright protected content, Blu-ray Disc media employs the
Advanced Access Content System (AACS) technology. To use Blu-ray Disc media
continually, you need to update the AACS key.
You can update the AACS key through the Internet. Follow a message displayed on a
recording, editing, or playback app you are using. Without updating the AACS key, you
may become unable to record, edit, or play copyright protected content.
To record, edit, or play content without copyright protection, you do not need to update
the AACS key. You can update the AACS key for the Blu-ray Disc recording or playback
app installed on your VAIO computer for five years after purchase. After that, we will
inform you about the update on the support website.
Region settings are required for some contents of DVD and BD-ROM Disc media. If the
region setting on the optical disc drive does not match the region code on the disc,
playback is not possible.
Unless your external display is compliant with the High-bandwidth Digital Content
Protection (HDCP) standard, you cannot play or view the contents of copyright protected
Blu-ray Disc media through an HDMI connection.
Some Blu-ray Disc content may restrict video output to standard definition or prohibit
analog video output.
