To connect your KiSS 1600 DVD & Media Player to your TV, use
one of the following cables:
If you do NOT own a High Definition Display, we recommend that
you connect your player to your television using the SCART cable
that is supplied with your player. The SCART cable is the thickest
cable and has large connectors at the ends. The SCART cable
is suitable for 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 mains.
You may have to select a specific SCART connector on your TV
or change your television settings to RGB in order to obtain RGB

USB Mass Storage Device Connection and Usage
We recommend that you connect your High Definition Display
with a HDMI cable to obtain High Definition Playback of High
Definition Content. 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-
Video upscaling) require your display to support HDCP, which
is an encryption format used on HDMI and DVI-D signals. To

Note: Streaming video from a USB device depends on the
maximum bit rate, and a very high bit rate may not always be
supported.
Note: Although the KiSS 1600 USB connector supplies enough
power to supply standard low-power devices (like USB memory
sticks), some devices, like USB Hard Disk Drives may require too
much energy to be self-powered by the KiSS 1600.These devices
therefore have to use their own power supply.

In addition to DVD-Video discs, the KiSS 1600 is also capable of
playing a wide variety of other video formats. Video files in these
formats may not look as good as DVD-Video material since these
formats were originally created for higher compression of video
and audio. However, the advantage is that you can store more
video on a disc, with only a slight reduction in terms of quality.
Other restrictions also apply, as some of them will not support
interactive menus, subtitles, multiple soundtracks and spoken
languages.

please ensure that your router is set to WEP, WPA or WPA 2
encryption and enable WEP or WPA/PSK TKIP (Personal), WPA/
PSK AES (Enterprise) encryption on your player accordingly. If you
do not know which encryption is enabled (if any) in your wireless
router/access point, please refer to the configuration instructions
in its manual. Encryption key: If you are running an encrypted
wireless network, all devices on your network must share the
same encryption key so that they can communicate. Please enter
this menu item to obtain 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

Disabling the DHCP option will enable you to manually configure
the network details for your player. This is only recommended
for networks without a DHCP compliant switch/router/access
point or a network without Internet access. 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 manually configure the
parameters used on your network. The IP address is the unique
address of your player on the network. Do not use the same
address as your PC or other devices connected to the network.
We recommend that you use 192.168.1.2. If another device on
the network has been configured with the same address, simply
increment the final digit (“2”) to a number that is 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 192.168.1.1). DNS
should set to the same address as the default gateway unless
your Internet Service Provider has supplied you with a different
address. Alternative DNS should only be filled in if provided by
your Internet Service Provider.
Volume Control: Enable, if you wish to adjust the DVD playback
volume from the KiSS 1600 remote control on Analog Output.
Note: If you use the volume adjustment on the KiSS 1600 together
with your TV Volume Control or Hi-Fi Volume Control, you may
unintentionally obtain large differences in the level to other
sources or increase the noise or distortion on your system.

wireless users in the vicinity from gaining access to personal or
confidential information.
So that the player can communicate with your wireless network,
the encryption must be set to exactly the same in the player as on

wireless router/access point is operating without encryption, your
player must be set accordingly. However, we recommend that you
always use encryption on your wireless network, so (if possible)

file will download to your computer as a compressed .zip file.
Decompress it to obtain the firmware .iso file. If you do not have
the necessary software to decompress the file, you can download
decompressor software such as Winzip (for Windows PC) or StuffIt
Expander (for Macintosh).
After it has been downloaded and decompressed, you will have
a .iso file on your computer. Place a blank disc in the drive of
your Mac. We recommend Roxio Toast to burn the firmware CD.
Open Toast and select DISC IMAGE. Select the firmware file. Press
RECORD and select the lowest burning speed allowed by your
burner. Burning of the data to the disc then starts.
