Media Server
The Media Server menu is used to view and play files (via
a network) that are located on a separate device such as a
computer. Three types of software can be used to select the files
that need to be shared: KiSS PC-Link, Windows Media Connect on
Windows XP, or Windows Media Player 11 on Windows Vista.
The full explanation about how to use KiSS PC-Link can be found
later in this user guide in the KiSS PC-LINK Chapter.
Windows Media Connect (on Windows XP) and Windows Media
Player 11 (on Windows Vista) are one way of sharing media
content between a Windows PC Computer and supported devices
such as your KiSS 1600 player. To take advantage of this function,
you will need to install Windows Media Connect on your Windows
PC running Windows XP, or to use Windows Media Player 11 on
Windows Vista. The latest versions of both types of software can
also be obtained as a download from Microsoft’s website.
When KiSS PC-Link (on your PC/Mac), Windows Media Connect
or Windows Media Player (on your PC) is launched, the KiSS
1600 will automatically locate the computer. First select the type
of file that you wish to play (Video, Audio, or Pictures). The servers
will then be detected and their name will become available (You
can select the server name in KiSS PC-Link or Windows Media
Connect/Windows Media Player 11. KiSS PC-Link's default
Server Name is MY PC-LINK). On your player, the menus work
as follows:
Video files: Browse and view video files located on your computer
and selected in KiSS PC-Link or Windows Media Connect.
Audio files: Browse and view Audio files located on your computer
and selected in KiSS PC-Link or Windows Media Connect.
Picture files: Browse and view Picture files located on your
computer and selected in KiSS PC-Link or Windows Media
Connect.
Note: For Windows XP users: you may need to download and
install Windows Media Connect on your PC for this function to
work. Windows Media Connect can be found in the download
section of the Microsoft website or alternatively at the following
link: http://www.microsoft.com/wmconnect.
For Windows Vista users: Windows Media Connect is now a
function of your Windows Media Player software. All you need to
do is to link your files from Windows Media Player 11.
Playing DVDs

control to open the disc tray. Place the DVD in the tray and press
either the PLAY or EJECT button again to automatically start it.
After a few seconds, the DVD menu will appear. You can navigate
through it using the arrow buttons on your remote control, and
press OK to enter a menu item.
When a DVD is already inserted into the KiSS 1600, you can start
it by pressing PLAY on your remote control. From the menu, you
can also access it by selecting the Disc menu and then selecting
PLAY DISC.

button on the remote control for a list of additional DVD playback
related options.
