Can someone help me!? - Blu-ray Forum

Hi, I just joined this site and I just went blu. Blu-ray that is! Last weekend, my mom bought me an early Christmas present: a Sharp BD Player and my first Blu-ray Disc, Casino. I already have a Sharp HDTV along with an HDMI cable, but I'm having a couple of technical issues that I hope someone could answer.

1. The player gives me the option of having HDMI or Composite output, so I use the HDMI of course. The problem is a message pops up on screen saying "Copy protected signals cannot be outputted to the connected equipment." That is when it is in HDMI output, but when I switch it to composite it works fine.

2. The other problem is I am having a very tough time getting the movie (Casino) to load. It starts up with showing the Universal title, asks me for a language, shows the rating symbol, etc. and then just goes black. It sounds like it is processing within the player, but nothing is happening. The funny thing is when I put in a DVD like WALL-E, it loads very fast and starts the movie.

Has anyone had any problems like these? Do I need to update the player or something or could it just be a bad disc? Some feedback would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
