Media Server
This menu displays network attached UPnP media servers (such as the WD TV ® Live
Hub ™ media center) connected to your network via the DLNA protocol.
The benefit of using a media server is that it aggregates the content together from the device that is hosting it. The media server hosts a list of supported file formats with metadata information that allows a client device like the media player to easily browse and play back the content.
However, using a media server can restrict supported file types and you may not be able to see all the files stored in the media server. When using a Network Share, every file is presented to the media player and it does the content filtering based on what it can support.
Follow the steps below under “Accessing a Shared Folder,” selecting the name of your media server and referencing your media server documentation for password setup and administration if necessary.
Network Share
The media player supports both Samba and NFS network shares.
Samba
Samba (also known as SMB) is a more common protocol among devices such as
PC, NAS, and Mac (before Lion). If you want to simply discover and/or share a folder on the network to be accessed by the media player, Samba is a common method, especially for Windows.

QuickMix
QuickMix is a feature that allows you to listen to more than one of your stations at once. QuickMix will play only one song based on particular musical characteristics at a time (unlike regular Pandora stations, which play four related songs in a row), so the mood changes more often.
Providing Song Feedback
You can influence the music selection that is streamed into your Pandora station by providing track feedback for the song currently playing. You can give a song a
“thumbs up” or a “thumbs down” vote.
Thumbs up
If you like the currently playing song, give it a thumbs up vote. This positive feedback means:
The very next set of songs for this station will be generated using the song you’ve given a “thumbs up” vote to as a musical starting point.
Future sets of songs are likely to have similar musical traits. Multiple “thumbs up" votes on this station for other similar songs will have a cumulative effect.
This song will play somewhat more often than other songs on this station's potential playlist, and will play about as often as other songs that have received a
"thumbs up" on this station.
Thumbs down
If you don't want to hear a song on a particular station, give it a thumbs down vote.
This negative feedback means:
The song will stop playing, if there are any of the remaining "six skips per hour" available on that particular station (this limit is per station, on a rolling per-hour basis).
The song will be permanently removed from that particular station's playlist.
A new set of songs with a different musical emphasis will begin to play.
If you’ve given at least two “thumbs down” vote to a specific artist on that particular station, songs from that artist will no longer be included in that station’s playlist.
To provide song feedback:
While a song is playing, press / to select or , then press OK.
A prompt to confirm your vote appears.
Putting a Song to Sleep
When you want to stop listening to song, but not permanently remove it from a station’s playlist, you put it to “sleep.” This prevents the song from playing on any of your stations for 30 days.
To put a song to sleep:

The following conditions will prevent the Media Library from processing your media.
The USB device has read-only protection.
There is not enough hard drive space on the USB device. Your media player needs some space to cache information, so that searches and scans are faster.
A note about metadata
Metadata is information about the data in a file that describes how, when, and by whom a particular set of data (video, music, photographic, or any other type of data) was collected, and how the data is formatted.
Not all files have metadata loaded. To add and edit metadata so that Media Library can aggregate the files properly, you can use one of several tools including:

System Firmware Upgrade
Firmware is an important set of instructions that tells your media player how to operate, what the interactive screens look like, and how to do what you tell it to do.
Upgrading the firmware is important because WD is always developing newer, faster, and more efficient ways of doing things that your media player needs to know.
Important: Make sure the media player’s AC power adapter remains connected during the firmware update. A power disruption during the update process can corrupt the system firmware. Also, make sure that you do not unplug the USB storage device if doing a manual update.
Automatic
The New Firmware menu appears in the media player’s Home screen when updated firmware becomes available, providing the option to automatically upgrade the firmware.
Note: You must have Auto Detect New Firmware set to On to automatically upgrade firmware. See

Warranty Information
Obtaining Service
WD values your business and always attempts to provide you the very best of service. If this Product requires maintenance, either contact the dealer from whom you originally purchased the Product or visit our product support Web site at http://support.wdc.com for information on how to obtain service or a Return Material
Authorization (RMA). If it is determined that the Product may be defective, you will be given an RMA number and instructions for Product return. An unauthorized return (i.e., one for which an RMA number has not been issued) will be returned to you at your expense. Authorized returns must be shipped in an approved shipping container, prepaid and insured, to the address provided on your return paperwork. Your original box and packaging materials should be kept for storing or shipping your WD product. To conclusively establish the period of warranty, check the warranty expiration (serial number required) via http://support.wdc.com. WD shall have no liability for lost data regardless of the cause, recovery of lost data, or data contained in any Product placed in its possession.
Limited Warranty
WD warrants that the Product, in the course of its normal use, will for the term defined below, be free from defects in material and workmanship and will conform to WD’s specification therefor. The term of your limited warranty depends on the country in which your Product was purchased. The term of your limited warranty is for
1 year in the North, South and Central America region, 2 years in the Europe, the Middle East and Africa region, and 3 years in the Asia Pacific region, unless otherwise required by law. The term of your limited warranty period shall commence on the purchase date appearing on your purchase receipt. WD may at its discretion make extended warranties available for purchase. WD shall have no liability for any Product returned if WD determines that the Product was stolen from WD or that the asserted defect a) is not present, b) cannot reasonably be rectified because of damage occurring before WD receives the Product, or c) is attributable to misuse, improper installation, alteration (including removing or obliterating labels and opening or removing external enclosures, unless the product is on the list of limited user-serviceable products and the specific alteration is within the scope of the applicable instructions, as found at http://support.wdc.com), accident or mishandling while in the possession of someone other than WD. Subject to the limitations specified above, your sole and exclusive warranty shall be, during the period of warranty specified above and at WD’s option, the repair or replacement of the Product with an equivalent or better Product. The foregoing warranty of WD shall extend to repaired or replaced Products for the balance of the applicable period of the original warranty or ninety (90) days from the date of shipment of a repaired or replaced Product, whichever is longer.
The foregoing limited warranty is WD’s sole warranty and is applicable only to products sold as new. The remedies provided herein are in lieu of a) any and all other remedies and warranties, whether expressed, implied or statutory, including but not limited to, any implied warranty of merchantability or fitness for a particular purpose, and b) any and all obligations and liabilities of WD for damages including, but not limited to accidental, consequential, or special damages, or any financial loss, lost profits or expenses, or lost data arising out of or in connection with the purchase, use, or performance of the Product, even if WD has been advised of the possibility of such damages. In the United States, some states do not allow exclusion or limitations of incidental or consequential damages, so the limitations above may not apply to you. This warranty gives you specific legal rights, and you may also have other rights which vary from state to state.
