Setting up the FTP on the player
Press SETUP on your remote and go to ETHERNET - TCP/IP. Select FTP-Sever. You have three options: DISABLED (Not available), READ ONLY (You can copy files from the VR-558 to your PC, but cannot copy files from your PC to the VR-558), READ/WRITE (You can copy files from the VR-558 to your PC and from your PC to the VR-558). Pick the one that suits you best. Go to SHOW CURRENT TCP/IP SETTINGS. Write down the IP ADDRESS shown on the screen below for future use. It is 4 sets of characters separated by a point. (ex: 192.168.6.25). On your computer open your Internet Browser Program, in the address field write: ftp:// followed by the IP ADDRESS (ex: ftp://192.168.6.25). The Internet Browser window will display the content of your VR-558's Hard Disk. If you already have copied some files on your Hard Disk, you will find three folders named: AUDIO, VIDEO and PICTURES. They contain your Hard Disk's files, you can drag and drop them on your PC. The PVR folder contain your recordings. If you haven't used your Hard Disk yet, the AUDIO, VIDEO and PICTURES folders haven't been created yet. You can create them yourself, but make sure that you have previously selected READ/WRITE on your player, and for your player to see them these folders should be named exactly audio, video and pictures (in low case letters). You also must copy your audio files into the AUDIO folder and so on. The VR-558 will not be able to recognise them otherwise. Now that the FTP is set, you can manage all the files from the VR-558 easily and directly from your PC, you can rename your recordings, copy them to your PC's Hard Disk and burn them onto CD.
Your KiSS VR-558 IP Address:
-Only computer generated files can be copied onto the hard disk. DVDs, audio CDs, VCDs and SVCDs can not be copied
-The FTP access only works if the KiSS Player and the PC are connected on the same network via the Ethernet Port. Check the PC TO DVD CONNECTION chapter of this manual if you are unsure.
