Live Plus Remote
The WD TV Live Plus gives you a good sized remote for controlling the unit from afar. In fact, like other media players, it is the only way to control the Live Plus. You get the standard menu controls as well as player controls. There is a power button, and the always important home button. When you navigate too deep into menus, the home button gets you back very fast. The batteries are installed like any other remote in the back.
WD TV Live Plus
The WD TV Live Plus is small (watch the video to see) and is bathed in the traditional Western Digital flair of silver and gray. The small size of the Live Plus allows it to live in any setting. The remote is IR so you'll need to be able to see the the front of the unit to control it. Even so, with the size, you can put this anywhere and the color scheme will go with most home entertainment setups.
One side of the Live Plus contains one of the USB ports along with the reset button. The WD TV Live Plus has two USB ports, but this one is more accessible for plugging in while the unit is in use while the one on the back is more for always plugged in action.
The back of the Live Plus is where all the action takes place. From left to right: the AC adapter port, the second USB port, the HDMI 1.3 port, the optical audio port, the ethernet port, the composite/audio port, and the component port. Yes, the last two are the small jack looking ports. The cables included are break-out cables. They are proprietary. Don't lose them. The HDMI port is standard so use that if you can.
The other side of the Live Plus has the labeling and the various certifications and such. You can place this side down or the true bottom. It all depends on the orientation you want to have.
