9	Using KiSS PC-Link

KiSS PC-Link is a sharing application that shares the audio, video and picture files located on your PC or Mac with your KiSS 1600. The software is provided in your retail box. All you need to do is to add the files you would like to share into the application's main window. To share content between your computer and your Player, you must make sure that both devices are connected on your home network (via Ethernet or Wireless).

Requirements

PC: Windows PC computer running at least Windows XP

Mac: Macintosh computer running at least Mac OS X 10.3

Installation

On a Windows PC Computer: Just load the KiSS PC-Link CD in your PC. View the CD content, locate the "Windows" folder and open it. Double click the "KiSS PC-Link.exe" file to run the in- staller wizard. Follow the steps to finish the installation. When the installer has finished, you may start using KiSS PC-Link.

On a Macintosh Computer: Just load the KiSS PC-Link CD in your PC. View the CD content, locate the "Macintosh" folder and open it. Double click the "KiSS PC-Link.dmg" file to open the disk. Copy the KiSS PC-Link file to your application folder. Double click the file to start the software.

Using KiSS PC-Link

The first time that you open the software, you will be prompted to specify your TV Format and TV System. This ensures that your pictures are displayed optimally on your television. If you do not yet wish to provide an answer, you can always go back to the KiSS PC-Link Settings menu, under File/Settings/Pictures (PC) or under KiSS PC-Link/Preferences/Pictures (Mac).

Sharing content

First of all, you must select the type of file that you wish to share: Video, Audio or Picture files. Select the tab by clicking "Video", "Audio" or "Pictures" from the top of the main KiSS PC-Link win- dow. There are three different ways to add content; each way corresponds to a button at the bottom of the main KiSS PC-Link window:

Add Files: Click this button to select the files that you would like to share with your media player.

New Folder: Click this button if you would like to create a folder within your KiSS PC-Link main window. After the folder has been created, you will be able to add files within that specific folder

Add Live Folder: Click this button to link an existing folder (located anywhere on your computer) to KiSS PC-Link. All the files added to this folder will automatically be updated with the KiSS PC-Link main window later.

The "Remove" button removes the selected linked files from the KiSS PC-Link list, but does not delete them from your computer.

Settings

To select KiSS PC-Link/Preferences, open a new window where you can access the various settings that you may wish to edit. By default, the "Pictures" tab is selected. This gives you access to:

Color Correction: Click this button so that KiSS PC-Link can cali- brate the pictures by itself in order to match television screen ren- derings. Clicking this option will provide you with a better picture

Scaling: Click this button to allow your computer to scale your pic- ture for better and faster viewing on your television. Compensate for non-square pixels: Click this button to allow your computer to stretch your picture in order to display it in the correct aspect ratio on your television. This option must be clicked to ON on older KiSS Players, but it does not have to be ON on a KiSS 1600.
