Blu-ray Player Questions?

[023]

Ok so i'm lloking to by this LG Blu-ray player with built in wifi and I have some questions because I have no Idea how they work. I have a 32' Emerson LED Flatscreen TV

1.) How do they work?
2.) What do they do? What can you do with them?
3.) Do you need to have internet to use the wifi?
4.) Will it work with my tv?
5.) Can you browse the internet on your tv with it?
6.) Can you connect a laptop to it and use the wifi

I know a lot of question but i'm 15 and not very tech savy when it comes to Blu-ray players
Thanks!

1, 2, 3. It's a blu-ray player. It'll play blu-ray discs and DVDs. The Wifi capability allows it to access the internet so you can view videos from sites like YouTube or Netflix (separate subscription required.) To use this function you will need an internet connection and a router that supports wifi.

4. Yes.

5. Probably not. Most don't include a web browser, but you'll have to check the exact specs of the blu-ray player.

6. No. The player is not a hot spot or a router. It only connects to a network - not allows other devices to connect to it.
