== About ==

[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/KISS_Technology KiSS] players with [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hard_disk hard disk drive] can store media files on it.
Stored files can be played again and again.

It is possible to store audio, video, and picture content locally on the player’s hard disk. The player can copy content from a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/CD CD] or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/DVD DVD] as well as directly from the PC down to the hard disk.

== Copy from CD or DVD ==

To copy files from CD or DVD go to the index of the disc, mark the files with ''MARK'' and finally press ''ENTER'' to start the transfer. To delete the files from the hard disk go to the hard disk index and mark the files with ''MARK'' and press ''CLEAR''. By pressing ''MARK'' twice it marks all files in the directory.

Get straight access to your player’s hard disk from a connected PC with this [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FTP FTP] access. No complicated set-ups, just enter the player’s IP address on your PC’s internet browser software to view the full content of the player’s hard disk. You can now copy all audio, video and picture content to and from the player. You can rename the hard disk’s audio, video and picture files from your PC.

=== Getting the Player's IP Address ===

To connect a FTP client (PC) to a FTP server (KiSS player) you have to enter the server's [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ip_address IP address] into the client program.

* press ''SETUP'' on the remote to enter the ''Ethernet menu''
* move to ''IP Configuration''
* move to ''Show current IP address'' and press ''ENTER''

Use this IP address in the FTP client and remember to chose user ''anonymous''. Otherwise you will be asked for a password.

=== Maximum FTP Transfer Speed ===

The player is not very fast when transferring files. You should get about 1 [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Megabyte MB]/s.

You can not watch a movie from the harddisk or record a show at the same time as you transfer files. In the last case, the player will simply cut off the connection. It takes about a hour and a half to to transfer a two hour movie.

=== Known Issues ===

Older versions of the [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_explorer Internet Explorer] may not handle files larger than 4GB. We recommend to use a FTP client program or [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_explorer Mozilla Firefox].
