Panasonic Diga DMR-BW970

Well, I don't even know where to start.

First, greetings! This is my first of many posts (I hope ) on VideoHelp.

N e hoo, I recently got a new Panasonic 2TB DMR-BW970 for use here in Japan. This is my first Bluray player/recorder and I'm still trying to get used to it. My curious mind really wants to get the most out of all the features in this machine, but there's still somethings I need to get my head around. Unfortunately, since this model is not yet available in North America or Europe, there's very little information out there on the web.

Here are some general questions I had:

1) I've got this beast hooked up to an Airport Express for wireless connectivity. This lets me do YouTube and BDLive and whatnot off the Diga, but can I get the Diga to somehow access the media on my NAS?

2) How can I copy media from an external source, like a NAS or a USB HDD, over to the Diga?

3) Can I record YouTube onto the internal 2TB drive?

4) I tried ripping a movie (DVD) onto the internal drive. Didn't let me. Is this due to copyright issues?

Thanks

Well, I got #1 and #3 sort of answered.

#1. I can connect my laptop, which can access the NAS. But the bluray player itself I don't think can.

#3. Proably not.
