Hi all,

I bought a Philips upscaling DVD player - http://www.pixmania.com/ie/uk/545636...vd-player.html and I plugged it into my HD ready Philips TV and I'm gettin a "Display Setected - Non HDCP Compliant" error message. I'm wondering whats the story with this.

The HDMI I'm using is a bit dodgy, with the xbox 360 it will display picture but no sound, could this be the problem? though having said that I've connected my xbox-360 to my TV with this cable and get picture.

Any help would be great

if your getting no sound BUT picture it could be the x-box settings

try sound settings first, then buy a £5 cable to try and see if cable ' goosed '

hope the new cable works.

'Non HDCP Compliant' usually means a TV is not 'HD Ready'.

Sounds like the TV isn't HDCP Compliant. Check the TV specs on the Pilips website.

Yeah, it means that the TV isn't HDCP (High Definition Content Protection) compliant, which basically means the TV isn't properly High-Def.

HDCP is basically a copy protection thing that all current HD sources such as Blu-Ray players and upscalers use, so without that, the TV will not be able to display anything from a HD source. It's because of this that for a TV to be rightly and legally labelled HD-Ready, it has to be;
a)capable of producing a picture of 720p or above and
b)be HDCP-compliant.

By the sound of it, your TV is only HD-compatible, which means it is only has the physical ability to replicate 720i picture.

Hope I haven't confused you and I've helped slightly.
