Congratulations on your new KiSS DP-508
The many different functions provided by your new DVD Player 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-508 automatically recognises each format and can read CD-RW and DVD-RW alike. Your new DP-508
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 Player until you have studied the quick setup menu. To do so, the DVD Player must be connected to a TV set.

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,

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.
