Connecting your Player to a, Network | Linksys KiSS 1600 instruction

After you have correctly connected your device, you can access its files on your device by pressing the MENU button of your remote control to enter the Player menu. Go to the USB section and select the type of content you would like to browse.

Note: The KiSS 1600 supports the following file systems on mass

storage devices: FAT16, FAT32 and NTFS. Some variant USB file systems may not be supported.

Note: If you do not know which file system your mass storage device is using, please consult the User Guide for the device or contact the manufacturer for this information. Please also note that the KiSS 1600 only supports mass storage devices in “read only” mode. This means that you cannot rename, delete or alter your files (in any way) on the drive from the KiSS 1600.

Note: Streaming video from a USB device depends on the maximum bit rate, and a very high bit rate may not always be supported.

Note: Although the KiSS 1600 USB connector supplies enough power to supply standard low-power devices (like USB memory sticks), some devices, like USB Hard Disk Drives may require too much energy to be self-powered by the KiSS 1600. These devices therefore have to use their own power supply.

Connecting your player to your home network and the Internet will enable you to access Online Services, and will also enable you to share your computer audio, video and picture files with your player using KiSS PC-Link or Windows Media Connect.
