Product Description

Product Description

Despite having a footprint no bigger than a piece of A4 paper, the DP-1000 from KiSS certainly manages to cram in an awful lot of fantastic features, including the ability to playback an array of formats in addition to standard DVDs.

With Progressive Scan technology built in, the DP-1000 provides superb DVD playback. This technique creates a picture signal with double the number of scan lines of a conventional DVD, resulting in higher picture resolution and sharper image quality. The machine also includes KiSS's own Quick Setup Function, designed to make getting your player up and running as quick and painless as possible.

Based on the same technology that won KiSS's DP-450 so much acclaim, the DivX Certified DP-1000 also plays back DivX movies with ease, supporting versions 3.11, 4 and 5 of this high-quality "MP3 for video" format. Compatibility with CD-RW and DVD+/-RW discs means that you can confidently use the DP-1000 to play back both video and audio discs created using a PC.

In addition to playing movies, the player can be used to view JPEG files from a CD, allowing you to share your digital photos with a wider audience using your TV. On the audio side, as well as the ability to play back standard audio CDs, DP-1000 owners have the ability to listen to tracks recorded in the popular MP3 and Ogg Vorbis formats.

The DP-1000 is also a very well connected machine. As well as component, s-video and composite video outputs there's also high quality RGB via SCART, Dolby Digital/MPEG 5.1 digital, analogue stereo and S/PDIF outputs. Upgradeable firmware gives users with access to the internet and a CD burner the opportunity to take advantage of new developments and enhancements to the product as KiSS makes them available through their website.

Manufacturer's Description

First release of the SlimLine DVD Players from KiSS, the DP-1000 surprises by its small size, just as big as an A4 sheet. Its clean and neat Scandinavian Design shows its origins from the company who brought first DivX compatible DVD-Player. As ground breaking as previous players, the KiSS DP-1000 is based on the technology of the award winning DP-450, and now, plays just about everything, from conventional DVD, DivX 3.11, DivX 4, DivX 5 and XviD movies to audio CDs, home-burned CD, MP3 and Ogg Vorbis audio. Even picture CDs can be shown, just burn some jpeg format pictures from your PC onto a CD and you can enjoy them displayed on the TV screen. Installation is easy with KiSS Quick Setup, now "plug and play" has a real meaning.The KiSS DVD Player DP-1000 will maximize your listening and viewing experience to a much higher level with Progressive Scan. Progressive Scan creates a picture signal which doubles the scan lines of a conventional DVD, resulting in higher picture resolution and sharper image quality. The digital quality, smooth pictures, surround sound, zoom and still picture function will enhance the enjoyment, and everything will be available from your armchair simply by using the remote control.

4.0 out of 5 stars Bugs out of the box !, 2 Dec 2003
This review is from: Kiss DP-1000 DVD Player (DivX) (Electronics)
This is a very nice looking divx player which will play DVD's and virtually all my divx(3,4,5)/xvid movies. The picture quality is excellent especially through the RGB enabled scart socket. It can be multiregion modified using the secret menu (open clear 2 7 6 enter on the remote control). The firmware which is supplied (2.7.5) has got some features which make some audio cd's unplayable and it is also unable to fast forward or rewind VCD/SCVD without the playback hanging. The latest firmware (2.7.6) fixes the audio cd problem but not the VCD/SVC issue. Once this is sorted out it would deserve 5 stars. Come on Kiss get it fixed !

5.0 out of 5 stars A great product., 3 Mar 2004
By A Customer
This review is from: Kiss DP-1000 DVD Player (DivX) (Electronics)
My friend had suggested I buy the DivX DVD Player, he kept on saying how good it was etc. I didn't know if I should buy it or buy a DVD Recorder from Comet. I saw my friends and tried it out, saw what my friend kept on saying about it.

I bought this product eventually, which took 2 weeks to deliver. I tried my DVD's (from UK, Asia etc), DivX, Xvid CD's/CDR/DVDR & DVDRW disc's and amazingly this product worked. I saw the other reviews and I read that the DVD Player can be set to multi-region by the secret menu (Open, clear, 2, 7, 6) and I had no problem, I also changed the bright lights on the front of the DVD Player, from the setup menu (in settings for display, it should have a Brightness set to Max, turn that to low and the lights should automatically occur when you close the settings menu).

This is a good DVD Player, my brother liked it and he asked me to order him one... I would recommend this product to everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely Stuff !!, 29 Dec 2003
By 
This review is from: Kiss DP-1000 DVD Player (DivX) (Electronics)
Straight out of the box you can tell this is a quality player - sturdy, all cables needed, and finally a decent remote!

One of the machines biggest qualities is its looks, no larger than a PS2 facing sideways, bright blue eject / play buttons, and a very cool scrolling display.

Setup is a doddle, however you connect your dvd player, esp as all poss cables are included.

Dvd playback - as good as a £180 player, sharp image, great sound, skipping between chapters is uber fast, basically what you expect from a decent player these days.

Audio cd / mp3 - As mentioned before, sound quality is great on this, esp when linked to decent sound system :O)

Divx/Xvid - The main reson anyone will be buying this machine, and it doesn't disappoint, played every disk i threw at it, diff formats of divx, multi divx / xvid files on a cd, everything. hasn't lost sync as of yet, scrolling forards or backwards does have a little delay, but much prefer that to losing audio sync.

All in all a lovely little package, the looks and the quality all in one for under £100, can't complain at that!

Just remember though, the playback quality of Xvid / Divx is only as good as the quality of the encoding :o)
