If a newer firmware exists, you will be given the option of installing it by pressing the “Update” button. Once pressed, download and installation will happen automatically.

Whenever updates are available, they are also posted to KiSS’ website in the support section so even if your player is not connected to the Internet but you have access to our site from elsewhere, you will still be able to obtain the newest updates by visiting www.kiss-technology.com/software. Updates can be downloaded as CD-images to be burned on a CD-R and read by the player.
