Connect IQ500 to Blu Ray Player

I bought a blu ray player this past weekend and I thought that I had a HDMI port on my computer. However, I can't seem to find one and there isn't a whole lot of information about the IQ500 line anymore... does anyone know how to connect my blu ray player to my computer?  I really don't want to buy a tv when I have a 23 inch computer...
Thanks

THe display doesn't support any resolution that the Blu-ray player can provide. In addition, it doesn't support HDCP.

  • Connecting MBP to blu ray player

    I am just wondering if there is any way to connect an external blu ray player to mac to rip blu ray discs? If yes, which blu ray player? The BD player I have from Pioneer BDP-09 can be connected via usb? I don't need to write blu ray discs but want to rip discs to mkv format. Any possibility under OS X or Windows via boot camp?

    Discussion of ripping copyrighted movies is not permitted on these forums, as it's not legal to do so.

  • Connecting Insignia Blue Ray Player to Home Wireless Network

    OK, I am having problems connecting my Insignia Blue Ray Player to my home wireless network. Under network settings I was able to connect to the network, but it can't seem to acquire an IP address. All the other devices connected to the network are working. I'm not very proficient at this obviously, but does anyone have any thoughts?

    If there is a configuration option on the BD player, set it to auto.

    Can I connect my Apple TV to the Blu-Ray using an HDMI/ USB adapter?
    If you can find such a thing.  I really doubt that exists since USB is a data connector not a video connector.
    would allow me to run the audio through my stereo.     
    That would depend on this adapter.

  • Can I connect my iMac's iTunes library via wi-fi to my Blu-Ray player so I can listen to the music on my computer with my home theater system?

    My music library is on my iMac, located in a different room of the house than my home theater system with a decent Denon receiver and good Infinity towers. I have an iPod connector to the Denon which I can use, but the iPod has a limited library of songs, so I would like to somehow access my iMac music library and be able to play it through the home theater system. Hard wiring the components is out of the question due to length of run through several rooms of the house, no basement and cathedral ceilings. I already have my iMac and my Panasonic Blu-Ray player both connected to my wi-fi, and it seems there should be a way to connect both of them using the wi-fi. The blu-ray player is DLNA, but the Mac isn't, so that is out of the question. Is there any other way to get these components to talk to each other over wi-fi?

    There is a DLNA media server called MediaLink that is designed for use with the Play Station 3.  It is not advertised as working with other DLNA clients but it usually will.  I use it to stream audio, video and pictures to a WDTV media player in my bedroom.  Works great, even supports iTunes playlists.  I believe it still has a free trial period so you can see if it works with your player.

  • Can i use the apple tv3 to connect a blu-ray player to the internet through the ethernet port?

    I Have a blu-ray player which can access teh internet but only through a wired connection. Unfortunately, do to some renovating a can't really pass a wire from my router to the player. I was thinking of getting the express base station and hooking up an ethernet cable and getting it to connect that wy. However, for just an extra 10$ i can get teh apple tv and started to wonder if it would do the same.
    Anybody know if i connect an an ethernet cable between my blu-ray player and apple tv3 if it will be able to connect to the internet?
    Thanks for you help!

    Your blu-ray play can't play to your AppleTV, neither using a wired connection or wi-fi.
    AppleTV only support compressed format.  Therefore, your AppleTV require your content to be within your iTunes library and on the supported format; http://www.apple.com/appletv/specs.html
    There are however wireless devices on which you can plug an HDMI cable.  I don't know the price of such wireless devices but you'll find them on the net.

  • Can't connect wireless blu ray player

    I've been using verizon DSL for about 5 years now.  I have a Versalink 327W that was provided by Verizon.  I've been pretty happy with the service, experiencing only a few glitches that were easily fixed.  But I haven't been pushing it hard.  I have a couple of desktops both wired to the Versalink by ethernet.  The versalink provides internet access to the two computers, and file and printer sharing as well.
    Now I have a problem.  I recently bought a Sony Blu Ray player  (model BDP-BX57) with built in wireless.  No matter what I do, wireless connection fails.  I've ruled out SSID and WEP key problems.  The Blu Ray sees the Versalink with its SSID, and can't connect even if I set the Versalink to open.  For what it's worth, if I plug the blu ray into the versalink with ethernet, that works, and I can access the internet.
    That solution won't work for me in use.  I need wireless.
    Reading various entries in this forum and other places, I see that some people need to update the firmware in their Versalink.  Do I need to do this?  Is it going to help?  Am I just going to have to upgrade my router/modem or my DSL service later on?
    Also, looking at the steps needed to update the firmware, it looks error prone to me.  What's my fall back if things go wrong due to either my error or Verizon's?  I don't want to be without service for a long time while Verizon gets me a new router/modem.
    Thanks in advance.
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    This problem has been solved.
    The solution turned out to be to upgrade the firmware inside the "Residential Gateway"  (aka router/modem)  provided by Verizon.  The gateway is a Westell 327W  of the A90 vintage.  The firmware it contained didn't work for wireless connections.
    After finding a Verizon site that provides firmware for downloading, and satisfying myself that this site was on the up and up, I finally ventured to download and install the new firmware.  if you are interested in downloads from Verizon, start at download.verizon.net and navigate your way to the download you are loking for.  There may be a link from My Verizon to this download area, but I sure couldn't find it. 
    The firmware is now at rev 4.04.03.00.  And the gateway now supports wireless connections.
    Thanks for all your responses, and a special thanks to some contributors to old discussions in dslreports where the solution was outlined.
    The next problem to deal with is going to be slow speed.  I'll start a new topic. 

  • Tricks to connect my iPod Classic to a Sony Blu-ray player?

    I'm trying to get my iPod Classic to play through my Sony Blu ray player. Unfortunatley, I think they're just not compatible. But there's always hope!
    You guys are smart if anybody has any ideas let me hear 'em.
    Here's a list of what I've tried so far, unsuccessfully; I connect my iPod to the A/V input, but it did not generate the sound that I wanted.
    I connected to the Blu ray's usb port this improves the sound but I have no control over what music is played and all of the music folders and files have weird labels on them so I don't know what any of the folders or song files contain.

    I had the same problem with Sony BluRay BDP-S3100 and iPod Nano (6th gen.).
    I had a nice online "chat session" with Apple, and they said a couple of things.
    One was that a USB connection is not the "best" connection for audio files,  I thought
    that was an interesting factoid.   :-)   The BluRay player said the "USB device" was
    "not supported."  It just can't "see" the iPod.
    But the Apple chat tech said I should try hooking the iPad directly
    to the TV via a headphone jack -- didn't have one -- BUT...my stereo system DOES
    have a headphone jack, so he said to get a cable that has two male plugs -- one is
    the 3.5mm headphone plug, and the other is the mini (for iPod) plug.  Voila!  Apple
    sells that kind of cable, but I'm sure one could be found at Radio Shack etc.
    I hope this helps you!  I don't have a cable yet so I can't say if this solves the problem
    for me or anyone else, but it's where I'm going to start.

  • BDX1100 Blu Ray player won't connect to 50HM66 DLP TV via HDMI

    Hi all.  I have been trying to connect my Toshiba BDX1100 Blu Ray player to my Toshiba 50HM66 DLP TV through the HDMI.  I have tried both HDMI 1 & 2 ports.  I have tried 3 different cables.  The Blu Ray player connects through HDMI on another TV so I don't think its the problem.  I've been through all the settings on each device and can't find anything to make it work.  I've searched and searched and read all I could find and nothing has worked, so I figured I would post here hoping to find an expert or someone experiencing similar problems.  I appreciate any feedback or advice.

    hI Kryzone,
    edweis here  I have a 52hm95 Toshiba tv with the exact same problem as you have. It will not display my Sony blue ray dvd player outpur. Cannot get any fix from Toshiba telephone help.

  • Sony Blu Ray Player connect issue

    Just added a Sony BDP S350 Blu Ray player to my network via a WGA54G.  It appears I can connect to BD Live sites but not Sony's firmware update server.  I can connect  to that server when I go wired directly through the DSL modem.  I have also tried to connect through the router and a cat line but no luck.   I use DHCP and WEP 64 bit.  Everything else is default....
    Any thoughts?

    mle724,
    You need to use the same wireless security encryption on the router and adapter (either WPA2 or WEP, but not both).  If you make these changes it should work.
    EDIT:  Looking at the spec for the WGA54G I see that it only supports WEP, therefore the only option would be for you to change the security on the router to WEP.
    You also need to use the same passphrase (or keys) for the router and adapter.
    Check page 28 (troubleshooting) of your WGA54G manual and under #1 it will show:
    Make sure that the SSID is the same as the SSID of the access point.
    On the WEP Encryption screen, make sure that all of the WEP settings are the same as the WEP settings of the access point.

  • Blue ray player connection to web help

    Just wondering if any iMac people have recently successfully connected their blue ray player to the internet? Apple tells me that I have to purchase "Apple TV" device. The Sony player (BDP-N460) I purchased said I only need to buy an additional 'Linksys-Cisco WET610N' wireless bridge and a LAN cable for it to work. Which is correct, or maybe both are, but which one is the more cost/efficient one? Thanks in advance!
    iMac Intel Duo,20",2.16Ghz,1GB,Airport Express

    I too have the same BD player and have just connected the WET610n bridge to my Airport Extreme -- it's just a question of configuring this-or-that. Only that Linksys put the manual on a Mac-incompatible CD.
    You can find the product manual on this page which describes the unit, and then go to the downloads page, select Version 1.0 from the drop-down menu, and then a link to Mac-compatible setup wizard will display. Download it if you like.
    There's an easier way. Make sure your player is plugged into your TV and turn the TV on. (In my case, I was configuring the bridge with a Sony Bravia HDTV. I assume a Mac would be no different.) Press the MENU key on the BD player remote and navigate to the leftmost menu item, a small suitcase. Scroll down to select Network Settings, then Network Connection Diagnostics. When it tells you the obvious that you're not connected, backtrack to Internet Settings.
    Assuming you've plugged the Ethernet cable and bridge together, and connected the bridge to a power outlet, you can select Wireless Bridge Setup. Since your network is out there waiting to be found, select Scan, and then select your network. An onscreen keypad will open for you to enter your security key, after which you'll experience a minute or two as the bridge gets programmed and a connection is made to your network.
    Return to the suitcase menu and select Network Update to see if new system software is available for the BD player itself. If there is, it will download and warn you NOT to turn the power off.
    You should now be able to download content off the net.

  • How to connect to blu-ray player

    How do I get my iphone to be recognized by my Sony blu-ray player? I have it cnnected by a USB port. The blu-ray player says it does not recognize USB device, or that it is not supported. Any help would be appreciated.

    I've never heard of a Blu-Ray player that offers this functionality in conjunction with an iPhone.
    Your best option would be to buy an AppleTV and connect that to your big screen TV. Then you can wirelessly stream audio, video and photos to your TV, and also mirror the iPhone screen on your TV allowing you to play games etc. on your iPhone but displayed on your TV. The AppleTV also does lots of other things too.
