Advantages: Plays all the content and file types you can throw at it Disadvantages: Plenty of bugs, little firmware updates and the Online Extras are useless
I have owned the Kiss DP-600 player since the day it came out. So far it has not failed to play a media type thrown at it. Unfortunatly Kiss have only released a few firmware updates. The player is still full of Bugs.
For example - *a Green screen when the player turns on
*Difficulty in Upgrading and Downgrading Firmware
*HDMI issues still (my HDMI decided it would stop working)
*Access speeds from USB port to an External usb HDD make high definition content on the hard disk pretty much unplayable.
*Power off feature doesnt always switch to full standby more like a hibernate mote
Dispite a couple of firmware updates to do not think Kiss have taken their time with this product. In my opinion this is now very over priced for its age. And looking around you can buy HD media player which is more up to date than the Kiss 600 ...

Advantages: Plays Anything, Wireless Streaming, Quick Set up, PC Link Disadvantages: Can't think of any
The Kiss DP-600 is unreal. I have seen negative reviews on this product but I still wen ahead and bought it because I thought even if these reviews were correct that the offering was too good to miss.
The negative reviews stated the following
1) The DVD drive gives out a constant whine that is so loud you can hear it over the TV
2) The PC link software is rubbish it doesn't work and they had to use windows media connect.
3) The box will crash on occasion and you have to power cycle it.
4) The wireless capability is limited you need to have your access point right next to the DP-600
5) It has no Hard drive
In answer to 1
I suspect that this person had a faulty drive,Tinitus or is using it as apillow because I can't hear anything lout of the ordinary let alone over the tv.

Manufacturer's product description
Digital Video Recorder from the next generation, the DP-558 proves to be more than what is first expected from such a product. What if you could watch live television, then pause it for a while and start it again when you are ready to watch more. What if you could browse through an electronic program guide, find the desired program, press Record and the schedule for the next recording would be set. What now if you could have online services directly available from your television screen, be able to see the weather forecast or just play games.
