If you do NOT own a High Definition Display, we recommend connecting your player to your television using the SCART cable that comes with your player. The SCART cable is the thickest cable with the large connectors in the ends. The SCART cable covers various analog video formats up to RGB quality, and analog Stereo audio. Connect one end of the SCART cable to “SCART OUT” on your player. Connect the other end to the SCART input on your television. Connect the power cable to the power connector.

If your television does not have an HDMI or SCART connector, you will have to connect both audio and video with separate cables as follows:

For connecting video, you have the following options:

• VIDEO (Composite Video)

• S-VIDEO (or “Super-VHS”, provides a better quality than VIDEO)

• COMPONENT VIDEO (provides an even better quality than the above)

After connecting the video, you will have to connect the audio. You can connect the audio to either the television or your Hi-Fi Stereo or Audio/Video Surround System. The DP-600 outputs both analog and digital audio. Analog stereo audio is the most common format, and is supported by, in practice, all devices. For Surround setup, Digital Audio Output is recommended as connection to all Surround Amplifiers and A/V-Receivers.

For connecting the audio, you have the following options:

• Connect ANALOG AUDIO OUT to your television using phono (RCA) jacks

• Connect ANALOG AUDIO OUT to your HiFi stereo using phono (RCA) jacks

• Connect COAXIAL or OPTICAL digital audio output to your Surround Amplifier or A/V-Receiver

Connecting your Player

To obtain High Definition Playback of High Definition Content, we recommend you to connect your High Definition Display with an HDMI Cable. HDMI supports Standard, Enhanced, or High-Definition video, plus Multi-Channel Digital Audio in a single cable. Many sources of High Definition Video (as well as DVD upscaling require that the display product supports HDCP, which is an encryption format used on HDMI and DVI-D signals. To find out if your display device supports HDCP, please consult its manual. If your television does not support HDMI but has a DVI-input, a DVI to HDMI converter can be purchased separately.

Video connection

Connecting your KiSS DP-600 DVD & Media Player to your TV can be done using any of the cables below. (Only one cable can be connected at a time)

a. RGB via SCART b. HDMI (the cable is an extra accessory) c. Component RCA (the cable is an extra accessory) c. Composite via SCART d. Composite Video e. S-Video (the cable is an extra accessory)

Audio connection

Connecting your KiSS DP-600 DVD & Media Player to your amplifier can be done using any of the cables below. (Only one cable can be connected at a time)

a. Analog Digital Output, 2 Channels or 5.1 Channels b. S/PDIF Coaxial Digital Audio Output

(the cable is an extra accessory) c. S/PDIF Optical/Toslink Digital Audio Output (the cable is an extra accessory)

USB Mass Storage Device Connection

While the DP-600 does not come with a hard drive for storing your home videos, music or photos, the DP-600 does support external USB mass storage devices like hard drives, USB memory sticks and certain card readers. To connect such a device, simply remove the cover in the lower right part of your player’s front panel. Behind the cover you will find an USB port. There is also an USB port on the back of your player. See the Chapter “Overview of the Player” if you are unsure where these ports are. Connect your device to either one of these ports.

Once you have connected your device properly, you can access the files on your device by pressing the MENU button of your remote control to enter the Player menu. Go to the USB section select the type of content you would like to browse.

Note: The DP-600 supports the following file systems on mass storage devices: FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS. If you do not know which file system your mass storage device is using, please consult the User Guide for the device or contact the manufacturer for this information. Please also note that the DP-600 only supports mass storage devices in “read only” mode. This means that you cannot rename, delete or in any other way alter your files on the drive from the DP-600.

Setting up a Wireless Network

Having physically set up your player, you will need to conﬁ gure your wireless network in the player Setup menu to be able to communicate with the rest of your network. To do this, please press the SETUP button to enter the Setup menu, select the network tab in the menu and change the settings according to the procedure described below:

Network Interface: Select “Wireless” from this menu to acknowledge that you would like to use a wireless network.

Wireless Authentication: The Wireless Authentication menu item allows you to set the type of encryption used on your wireless network. Encryption is used to keep data

exchange between your player and the rest of your network scrambled. This is done in order to protect you from exposing of personal or sensitive information to other wireless users in the vicinity. For the player to be able to communicate with your wireless network, the encryption will need to be set to exactly the same in the player as on the wireless router or access point you will be connecting to. If the wireless router/access point is running with no encryption, your player should be set accordingly. However, KiSS recommends that you always use encryption on your wireless network, so if possible please have your router set to WEP encryption and enable WEP encryption on your player accordingly. If you do not know what type of encryption is enabled (if any) in your wireless router/access point, please refer to its manual on how to see or set it up.

Encryption Key: If you are running an encrypted wireless network, all devices on your network will need to share the same encryption key in order for them to communicate. Please enter this menu item to bring up the on-screen keyboard where you will be able to enter the key you are currently using in your wireless router/access point. If you do not know which encryption key is used on your wireless router/access point, please refer to its manual for information on how to see it or set it up.

Possible errors.

- Cable problem, check that there is light in all the ports of the switch/hub

- There is a ﬁ rewall installed on the Computer which blocks the ports used by KiSS PC-Link or KiSS MacLink (port 8000 must be open)

- The player and the Computer are not on the same Subnet (problem with playing video)

- Your Computer has been assigned a new IP address from the DHCP server. It may differ from the one entered in the player. (Using a static IP on the Computer will counter this) - KiSS PC-Link or KiSS MacLink have to be running for the player to access the data

Now that you have connected your player to the other devices, you can begin setup. First, we recommend that you turn on your television before turning on your KiSS Player. This way, the video channel you have chosen will appear on your television screen automatically (SCART or HDMI). Turning on your KiSS Player before your television, however, has no negative effect on the use or operation of your player. In this case, you would simply have to use your TV remote to search for the video channel you want your player set to, instead of it appearing automatically.

Turning your player "On" for the first time

1. Turn "On" your television.

2. Press the On/Off button located on the back of your KiSS player to turn the player on. A red light will appear on the front display indicating that the player is in Standby mode.

3. Press the Standby button on your remote to start the player. If you are powering up your KiSS player for the first time, the Quick Setup Menu will appear automatically.
