Oops. I think I mix up what cinavia is to the message I saw. I don't have ahem BR discs - all are genuine lah.
I am actually referring to the those annoying FBI warnings I got all the time.
His bdp140 is not networked at all.
Nonetheless I tried disconnect but still show the FBI warning lah
WPS
The Pioneers be able to skip those warning messages because there's a option in a player to turn it off if you can access it. I cant recalled what's that feature called but some players came with it disabled. You need to access the player's factory menu to be able to adjust this feature.
As far as CINAVIA concerned, so far i only got it from the "infamous" PS3 which it's left in the corner collecting dust now. I dont support any SONY players because there're equivalent players out there that give me peace of mind than "piss" of mind when it comes to all these copyright problems. As far as i know, Panasonic bluray players seem to gathered good review from WhatHifi in UK and i personally using it and find it as good as the SONY if not better. Discs that were unable to play on the PS3 were blazed through on the Panny
It's wise NOT to connect to the internet all the time for your bluray players if you dont want to deal with the CINAVIA and equivalent problem. Also, read up on the latest firmware version before going for the update. You might lose some very important control over the player, just like the PS3.

Its got nothing to do with the network...if the player is with Cinavia, and the disc title also Cinavia protected..the message will pop up..and not immediately after movie start.
My player does it and i have not plugged into network at all before.
I think the earlier commenter that mentioned that the Pioneer BP-140 can skip the message, probably not sure what the Cinavia thing is. The error code 3 likely to pop up about 20-30 min into the movies. Its not those FBI warnings that can be skip sometimes at the start of the disc.
So far, the cinavia thing carries to DVD-9 as well...and the media so far i tried that does not induced Cinavia kick-in is MKV stuff. Maybe these kinda of files bypasses the Cinavia protection.
I tried Midnight in Paris MKV...suppose to be a cinavia infected title, on my Cinavia infected player....and nothing happens..

What CINAVIA did is to access your player details determine if this movie for the region you're located. If you have a region FREE player that you can set your region anytime you may, then CINAVIA has little effect on you. CINAVIA cannot be wiped from title because the technology they're using is encoded into the AUDIO track. It's located at the subsonic frequency, ie. > 20kHz we'll not be able to hear it and neither these CINAVIA enabled players willd decode it and output as audio. Unless they're filtered during the copying process which make it very "inconvenient" for the pirated companies. Though cats and dogs can hear these frequency so train and bring them to buy your next disc then
