Using ITunes with a Rented Movie

I want to throw a party for my son with an outdoor movie. I'd like to download a rental to my laptop (G4 Powerbook) and project onto a screen. I have a home stereo with outdoor speakers in the yard. I have a wireless network already using Airport Extreme Base Station. I want to send the sound for the movie thru my home system so that it plays on the outdoor speakers. Since the rented movie downloaded from ITunes plays in ITunes, can I send the sound wirelessly to my outside home speakers? If so, what's the best way? Thank you (and my son would thank you, but it's a surprise!)

DRM = Digital Rights Management / Digitally Restricted Media.
Some of the companies that produce content for rent on the Apple store do so with the restriction that they will only rent them with a type of encryption and the use of HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection). If the company supplies content with HDCP-enabled, then it can only be played back on the iPad itself or a TV that uses (and properly works with) HDCP.
The error you are experiencing is related to this. The company that supplied Apple with the content has enabled HDCP and as a result you cannot view the content on your TV.
You should contact Apple Support, complain, and request a refund. HDCP-infected content ought to be labeled as such in the iTunes store because many people have problems playing it back.
