blu ray wont play on tv via laptop

[zippy77777]

Hi people.

Wondered if you might be able to shed some light on this for me. I have a Sony Vaio FZ38m which im extremely pleased with and it plays all dvds and blu rays. When I plug the HDMI cable in and use the winbd program the discs wont play on my samsung 26" hd ready tv do you know why this is? It begins to play on the laptop but remains blank on the tv and then after about 1 second it just stops and wont do anything. Normal dvds work fine but blu rays wont play. Can you tell me if im doing something wrong or what I can do to get it to work. Thx..

Also is there any way to get the screen to fit on the tv via HDMI as its seems to big slightly too big for the tv and things are missing.

Hope to hear back from someone soon coz this is really annoying me, the blu ray problem that is.

Cheeeeeeeers........

Go into the graphics properties of the vaio and make the tv the main monitor (BD doesn't generally output to dual monitors). What's the native resolution of your TV? If possible - change your laptop resolution to match that of your tv. This should solve your problems. I hope this info helps.

How do you make the tv the main monitor, eveytime i change it it changes back when i apply and it just says '1' on both tv and lappy?

Do i need the hdmi cable connected when i do this change?

Fn+F7 - change it to TV only (if available) - or check this box(if you get it) and try manually again.
