The KISS DP-558 with 1.1.2 firmware had playback problems, especially with 6 &8 Mbit files, while with 4Mbit fast action, playback was jerky but with less problems than with 6 & 8Mbit. No problems were noticed with 1, 1.5 and 2Mbit files.

Due to the device's chipset limitations, KISS doesn't support Quarter Pixel encoding format and switching audio channels to a file that includes them also doesn't work. Fast forward and rewind seems to work OK in most cases.
