CompTIA A+ Core 1 (220-1101) — Question 492

A user is trying to play a DVD on a projector. The user can hear the audio; however, the projector is showing an error message that states:
HDMI Blocked due to Copy Protection
Which of the following is the MOST likely cause of the error?

Answer options

• A. The HDMI cannot carry the signal from the DVD to the projector.
• B. The user needs to switch from HDMI to a cable standard such as DisplayPort.
• C. The projector does not support the necessary HDCP protocol.
• D. The user needs to enable cony-protected sources in the projector's settings.

Correct answer: C

Explanation

The correct answer is C because HDCP (High-bandwidth Digital Content Protection) is essential for transmitting protected content over HDMI. If the projector does not support HDCP, it will block the signal, resulting in the error message. The other options do not address the specific issue of copy protection protocols.
