Congratulations on your new KiSS DP-470

The many different functions provided by your new DVD receiver will be a source of pleasure to you for many years to come. Naturally, you can play and watch DVD films with superb audio and visual quality. You can watch films in many other formats than DVD, such as MPEG-4, XviD, DivX. The audio features also give you the option of playing music CDs, MP3 or Ogg Vorbis files. The DP-470 automatically recognises each format and can read CD-RW and DVD-RW alike. Your new DP-470 also supports Picture CDs (jpg), which means that you can display your photos directly on the TV screen. This includes the pictures developed at the photo shop and any photos you have scanned and saved on a CD yourself.

Note: Do not use the DVD Receiver until you have studied the quick setup menu. To do so, the DVD Receiver must be connected to a TV set.

You can reset this to the factory settings by pressing: LOAD, INFO, 1, 2, 3 on the remote control.

Audio Settings

KiSS has tuned the product to give you the best possible sound experience (Loudness). Under acoustic setup, you can neutralize these settings or enhance them further by selecting dynamic sound.

Speakers level let you change the level on the speakers individually. Select the channel you want to change and use the volume buttons to adjust up and down.

All settings can be reset in the “Restore settings” menu, and the Quick setup can be re-initiated from the last menu.

software update

KiSS players get regularly updated enabling new functions or improvements. An internet connection and a CD Burner are required for this operation

Getting the Firmware

KiSS Players firmware updates can be found on KiSS Technology’s home page. Under www.kiss-technology.com, “end user” section, then “support”. Once on the support page, choose “upgrade”. Select the player to upgrade from the list, and choose between PAL (Europe and Asia) or NTSC (US and Japan). The file should download on the PC’s Hard Disk. KiSS recommends Nero if burning the CD on a PC and Toast if burning on a Mac. The file is a Disc Image and has to be burnt as such. Make sure that “Disc at Once” and “Finalize CD” in Nero are selected or “Write Disc” and “Verify CD” in Toast are enabled. If not, an error could occur while updating the player. More info are available in the “How to Burn” Section of the Support Page.

Updating the Player

Once the CD is burnt with the firmware update, it needs to be loaded in the player which will read it. A message will come up on the screen asking to restart the DVD Player. This should be done from the on/off button on the front panel. The CD is being loaded, this action might take a little time. The Firmware Update Screen comes up on the TV, and two options can be selected, Full Update or Partial Update. Full update, updates the firmware and resets the player to its factory settings. Partial Update, only updates the firmware. KiSS recommends users to use Full Update. The player is

being updated, which might take up to a minute. Restart is needed. To verify if the player has been well updated, once it’s back up, press “Setup”, the number of the current firmware is written on the top left corner of the screen.
