Cannot connect to Blu-Ray

Question

I am having no luck trying to connect my Dell Venue 8 Pro (Windows 8.1) to my Sony BDP-S580 Blu-Ray player.  I am trying to play videos from my tablet.   I was able to connect my Acer laptop (also on Windows 8.1) but am having no luck with the laptop.  Step 1 of the Sony manual says: 'Prepare for using DLNA. Connect the player to a network.  Prepare the other necessary DLNAcompatible products. Refer to the instruction manual supplied with the product.'   I cannot find any 'instructions' to connect the tablet via DNLA.   I tried using devices in Charms but that only shows 'Desktop' under Play.  Under PC Settings, the Blu-Ray shows up as an unsupported device and I cannot play anything on it.  Anyone else dealt with this???
