High Definition

We recommend that you connect your High Definition Display with a HDMI cable to obtain High Definition Playback of High Definition Content. HDMI supports Standard, Enhanced, or High- Definition video, plus Multi-Channel Digital Audio in a single cable. Many sources of High Definition Video (as well as DVD- Video upscaling) require your display to support HDCP, which is an encryption format used on HDMI and DVI-D signals. To find out whether your display supports HDCP, please consult its manual. If your television does not support HDMI but has a DVI-

input, a DVI-to-HDMI converter can be used (Item to be purchased separately).

If your HD-ready TV does not support HDMI, you can use the component video output connection (cables not included). See description of rear panel in chapter 2: “Overview of the Player”.

Standard Definition

If you do NOT own a High Definition Display, we recommend that you connect your player to your television using the SCART cable that is supplied with your player. The SCART cable is the thickest cable and has large connectors at the ends. The SCART cable is suitable for various analog video formats up to RGB quality, and analog Stereo audio. Connect one end of the SCART cable to “SCART OUT” on your player. Connect the other end to the SCART input on your television. Connect the power cable to the mains. You may have to select a specific SCART connector on your TV or change your television settings to RGB in order to obtain RGB Video Quality.

If your television does not have an HDMI or SCART connector, you will have to connect both audio and video with separate cables

as follows:

For connecting video, you have the following options:

VIDEO (Composite Video)

S-VIDEO (or “Super-VHS”, provides better quality than VIDEO)

COMPONENT VIDEO (provides even better quality than the above)

For connecting the audio, you have the following options:

Connect ANALOG AUDIO OUT to your television using phono (RCA) jacks

Connect ANALOG AUDIO OUT to your HiFi stereo using phono (RCA) jacks

Connect COAXIAL or OPTICAL digital audio output to your Sur- round Amplifier or A/V-Receiver

Audio Connection

You can connect the audio to either the television or your Hi-Fi Stereo or Audio/Video Surround System. The KiSS 1600 provides analog as well as digital audio. Analog stereo audio is the most common format, and in practice, is supported by all devices. For Surround setup, Digital Audio Output is recommended for connection to all Surround Amplifiers and A/V-Receivers.

To connect your KiSS 1600 DVD & Media Player to your amplifier or TV, use one of the following cables:

a. b. c.

a.Audio Output, 2 Channels

b.S/PDIF Coaxial Digital Audio Output (the cable is an extra ac- cessory)

c.S/PDIF Optical/Toslink Digital Audio Output (the cable is an extra accessory)
