input, a DVI-to-HDMI converter can be used (Item to be purchased
separately).
If your HD-ready TV does not support HDMI, you can use the
component video output connection (cables not included). See
description of rear panel in chapter 2: “Overview of the Player”.
Standard Definition
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
Video Quality.
If your television does not have an HDMI or SCART connector, you
will have to connect both audio and video with separate cables
as follows:
For connecting video, you have the following options:
• VIDEO (Composite Video)
• S-VIDEO (or “Super-VHS”, provides better quality than VIDEO)
• COMPONENT VIDEO (provides even better quality than the
above)
For connecting the audio, you have the following options:
• Connect ANALOG AUDIO OUT to your television using phono
(RCA) jacks
• Connect ANALOG AUDIO OUT to your HiFi stereo using phono
(RCA) jacks
• Connect COAXIAL or OPTICAL digital audio output to your Sur-
round Amplifier or A/V-Receiver
Audio Connection
You can connect the audio to either the television or your Hi-Fi
Stereo or Audio/Video Surround System. The KiSS 1600 provides
analog as well as digital audio. Analog stereo audio is the most
common format, and in practice, is supported by all devices.
For Surround setup, Digital Audio Output is recommended for
connection to all Surround Amplifiers and A/V-Receivers.
To connect your KiSS 1600 DVD & Media Player to your amplifier
or TV, use one of the following cables:
a. Audio Output, 2 Channels
b. S/PDIF Coaxial Digital Audio Output (the cable is an extra ac-
cessory)
c. S/PDIF Optical/Toslink Digital Audio Output (the cable is an
extra accessory)
USB Mass Storage Device Connection and Usage
KiSS 1600 does support external USB Mass Storage Devices
like hard drives, USB memory sticks, MP3 Players or Cameras
for storing your personal content such as music and photos. To
connect such a device, simply plug the device into the USB port
on the rear of your player using a standard USB Cable (cable not
included with this product). See the Chapter entitled “Overview of
the Player” if you are not sure where this port is located.

Definition Content. HDMI supports Standard, Enhanced, or High-

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
find out whether your display supports HDCP, please consult its
manual. If your television does not support HDMI but has a DVI-
