The Media

Server menu is

used

to view and play files (via

a network)

that are located

on a

separate device such as a

computer. Three types of software can be used to select the files that need to be shared: KiSS PC-Link, Windows Media Connect on Windows XP, or Windows Media Player 11 on Windows Vista.

The full explanation about how to use KiSS PC-Link can be found later in this user guide in the KiSS PC-LINK Chapter.

Windows Media Connect (on Windows XP) and Windows Media Player 11 (on Windows Vista) are one way of sharing media content between a Windows PC Computer and supported devices such as your KiSS 1600 player. To take advantage of this function, you will need to install Windows Media Connect on your Windows PC running Windows XP, or to use Windows Media Player 11 on Windows Vista. The latest versions of both types of software can also be obtained as a download from Microsoft’s website.

When KiSS PC-Link (on your PC/Mac), Windows Media Connect or Windows Media Player (on your PC) is launched, the KiSS 1600 will automatically locate the computer. First select the type of file that you wish to play (Video, Audio, or Pictures). The servers will then be detected and their name will become available (You can select the server name in KiSS PC-Link or Windows Media Connect/Windows Media Player 11. KiSS PC-Link's default Server Name is MY PC-LINK). On your player, the menus work

as follows:

Video files: Browse and view video files located on your computer and selected in KiSS PC-Link or Windows Media Connect.

Audio files: Browse and view Audio files located on your computer and selected in KiSS PC-Link or Windows Media Connect.

Picture files: Browse and view Picture files located on your computer and selected in KiSS PC-Link or Windows Media Connect.

Note: For Windows XP users: you may need to download and install Windows Media Connect on your PC for this function to work. Windows Media Connect can be found in the download section of the Microsoft website or alternatively at the following link: http://www.microsoft.com/wmconnect.

For Windows Vista users: Windows Media Connect is now a function of your Windows Media Player software. All you need to do is to link your files from Windows Media Player 11.
