Apart from DVD discs, the DP-600 is also capable of playing a wide variety of other video formats. Video files
in these formats will in many cases not look as good as DVD material since these formats were originally
created for higher compression of video and audio. The advantage of this is that you are able to fit more
video on a disc, but at a slight quality loss. Other restrictions also apply, as some of them will not support
interactive menus, subtitles, multiple soundtracks and spoken languages.
To play discs containing files in the above mentioned formats, press EJECT to open the disc tray and place
a disc with supported video content in it. Press EJECT again to close the tray. After the disc has been

streaming radio stations, allowing you to listen to exactly the kind of music you prefer. The Webradio front
page provides you with two different ways of browsing:

of different main categories and subcategories to make finding what you wish to listen to easier. Usage

are currently tuned in to the station.
Adding a station to your favorites: Whenever you find a station that you like, you can add the station to

majority of TVs accept only one standard.
Display connection: Enter this menu item to set up your video connection. Please choose the video cable
type that you are using to connect your player to your TV. Note that each cable type carries signals differently,

Audio Settings
Audio encoding: Enter this option to switch between analog (PCM) and digital encoding (RAW).
Choose PCM if you are using the analog audio outputs on the back of your player to connect audio to your TV
or amplifier. Choose RAW if your player is connected to your TV or amplifier via the digital audio outputs.
If you are unsure which audio connections you are using, see the “How to connect your player” section of
this User Guide.
Audio mode: This option applies to PCM audio encoding only. Use it to configure optimal audio conditions
for the speaker setup you are using. Choose “Stereo downmix” if your TV or and/or amplifier only has stereo
speakers. Choose “5.1 analog out” if your amplifier has a 5.1 surround sound speaker setup.
Network Settings
Network interface: Press this menu item to define how your player is connected to your local network. If
your player is connected to your hub/switch/router through a cable, choose “wired”. If you have a wireless
access point and prefer to use that for connection, choose “wireless”.
Automatic configuration (DHCP): For automatic configuration of the network settings, it is recommended
that this option is left enabled. With the DHCP option enabled you will not need to know how to set up a
network. Nor will you have to type anything in. Your player will have all its parameters (IP address, subnet
mask, DNS) automatically set by the router/switch/access point you have connected it to.
Disabling the DHCP option will enable you to manually configure the network details of your player. This
is only recommended for networks without a DHCP compliant switch/router/access point or a network
without Internet access. Please see the following paragraph for information on how to use the manual
configuration.
Network configuration: In the event that the player is connected to a router/switch/access point without
DHCP support or directly to a PC, enter this to configure the parameters used on your network manually.
The IP address is the unique address of your player on the network. Do not use the same address as either
your PC or other devices connected to the network. We recommend using 192.168.0.2. If another device on
the network has been configured with the same address, just increase the final digit (“2”) to a number not
used by other devices. Subnet mask should be set to 255.255.255.0. Default gateway should be set to the
same address as the device acting as your gateway to the Internet, usually 192.168.0.1. DNS should set to
the same address as the default gateway unless your Internet Service Provider has supplied you with another
one. Alternative DNS should only be filled out if provided by your Internet Service Provider.
Wireless Network Configuration: Use this menu option to select one of the available wireless networks.
The wireless networks on the list may be labelled as either “Unlocked” (available for free) or “Locked”
(networks that are available but require an encryption key). Select the network of your choice to establish
a connection. If you select a “Locked” network, your player will display an on-screen keyboard. Enter the
exact encryption key for your player to connect to the network. See below for more information on wireless
authentication and encryption keys.
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 exposure 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
encryption is enabled (if any) in your wireless router/access point, please refer to its manual on how to see
or set it up.
Note: The KiSS DP-600 does not yet support WPA encryption.
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.

password by which you can later access the option again to change the level.
Firmware info: Entering this menu item will bring up information regarding the currently installed firmware
in the player. Firmwares often contain performance improvements or new features, so it is recommended that
the player is always running with the latest one. If your player has access to the Internet via either a wired or
wireless network connection, you will also be able to automatically update your firmware from this menu if a
newer one exists. To check for updates, press the “Check for update” button. If a newer firmware exists, you
will be given the option of installing it by pressing the “Update” button. If pressed, download and installation
will happen automatically. Please follow instructions on screen during installation. If no Internet connection
is available you will still be able to obtain the latest firmware by contacting customer support.
Quick Setup: Enter this option to access the Quick Setup wizard helping you through the same basic and
easy setup procedure as when you powered on the player for the first time.
KiSS is dedicated to improving its products and to making sure you are always able to obtain the latest features and improvements via firmware updates. This section explains
how to do so.
13 Updating your Player
If your player is connected to a network, obtaining and installing a new firmware update has never been
easier.
To check for updates, simply enter the setup menu, go to the “Miscellaneous settings” section, select
"Firmware Info" and press the “Check for update” menu item. If a newer firmware exists, you will be given
the option of installing it by pressing the “Update” button. Once pressed, download and installation will
happen automatically. Please follow instructions on screen during installation.
Whenever updates are available, they are also posted to KiSS’ website in the support section so even if your
player is not connected to the Internet but you have access to our site from elsewhere, you will still be able
to obtain the newest updates by visiting www.kiss-technology.com/software. Updates can be downloaded
as CD-images to be burned on a CD-R and read by the player. For information on how to do this, read the
“Burning the CD on a PC/Mac” paragraphs later in this section of the User Guide.
If you do not have access to the Internet at all you will still be able to obtain the latest firmware by contacting
customer support. See the support section of this User Guide for contact information.
