The media player can be connected to your home network to access the Internet and network storage using a wired or wireless network connection. A network connection provides access to locally stored and online media content.

Important: Make sure there are no obstructions between the remote control and the infrared sensor on the media player.

1. Lossless video quality. Pavtube ByteCopy can copy Blu-ray contents to MKV without changing anything. You get highest possible video quality, i.e. original Blu-ray video contents, just in a different container format. And WD TV Live handles Blu-ray contents well.
2. Fast forward and chapter locating. Original chapter structure is preserved. You can quickly skip to any chapter you like when playing MKV.
3. Proper subtitles display. Since Western Digital players do not support Blu-ray PGS subtitles in MKV file, Pavtube ByteCopy converts the subtitles to vobsub when ripping Blu-ray for WD TV media players.
4. Fast speed. When ripping Blu-ray in “lossless” mode, it takes around an hour to copy a 25GB and 10 minutes to copy a DVD 5.
