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

KiSS Players firmware updates can be found on KiSS Technology’s home page.
Under www.kiss-technology.com, “end user” section, then “support”. Once on the 
support page, choose “upgrade”. Select the player to upgrade from the list, and 
choose between PAL (Europe and Asia) or NTSC (US and Japan). The file should 
download on the PC’s Hard Disk. KiSS recommends Nero if burning the CD on a PC 
and Toast if burning on a Mac. The file is a Disc Image and has to be burnt as such. 
Make sure that “Disc at Once” and “Finalize CD” in Nero are selected or “Write Disc” 
and “Verify CD” in Toast are enabled. If not, an error could occur while updating the 
player. More info are available in the “How to Burn” Section of the Support Page.

Once the CD is burnt with the firmware update, it needs to be loaded in the player 
which will read it. A message will come up on the screen asking to restart the DVD 
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, 
only updates the firmware. KiSS recommends users to use Full Update. The player is 
being updated, which might take up to a minute. Restart is needed. To verify if the 
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.

DVD films are normally supplied with a regional code (1), 
(2), etc., and can only be played on DVD players/Players

reproduce the sound, you 
have two options to choose 
from: the phono jack or one 
of the two digital outputs.

films are divided into levels, so that parents can prevent their children from 
seeing a specific type of film. In the next menu item, you create a password

NTSC) and video output (Scart, S-Video, Component Video or Component 
Progressive (Progressive Scan)). Composite video is available in all modes 
except in progressive scan mode. Component Progressive delivers the best 
video quality, but be aware that if your TV does not support Progressive 
Scan the picture (and menu) will disappear. You can reset this to the factory 
settings by pressing: LOAD, INFO, 1, 2, 3 on the remote control.

The first menu is the Language settings menu. Here you select the language 
you wish to use for the menus, that will appear on the screen, and your 
preferred language when playing a DVD film – for subtitles, speech and 
menus (they will only be used if the film supports the language).

KiSS has tuned the product to give you the best possible sound experience 
(Loudness). Under acoustic setup, you can neutralize these settings or 
enhance them further by selecting dynamic sound. Speaker size is used 
to make the right bass management. When using small front speakers, try 
to place the subwoofer between the front speakers. Speakers level let you 
change the level on the speakers individually. Select the channel you want 
to change and use the volume buttons to adjust up and down.
