Disc compatibility

The above tests were performed with the stock CD/DVD loader installed on the DP-558. The KISS DP-558 couldn't recognize ±R9 media with either DVD-ROM or DVD+R DL booktype set.

Playback Tests

In order to test the KISS DP-558, we used several encoded files with the latest versions of XVid, DivX, x264 Mpeg4 codecs, along with several Mpeg1 and Mpeg2 clips. You will find further details regarding all encoded files in this PDF. The tests were performed with the player's CD/DVD loader. In short, the device supports the following audio/video/picture extension file types:

• Audio: .AC3, .MP2, .MP3, .WMA, .OGG
• Video: .AVI, .MPG, .MP4, .DIVX
• Pictures: .JPG

Audio Tests

We used several audio formats covering almost all current compressed/uncompressed music file types:

The KISS DP-558 with 1.1.2 firmware doesn't support the AAC, WAV and DTS file formats. We didn't notice any problem with MP3 playback or WMA. However, the OGG format which uses a lot of CPU time, produced some jerky playback with almost of the used test files.
