KiSS Technology, a leading Scandinavian manufacturer of DVD products throughout the world, will show KiSS DP500, the first DVD player to offer an Ethernet connection and DivXT support at CES in Las Vegas 2003. The player will be sold for approximately US$350.

The DP-500 makes digital TV on-demand possible on a standard xDSL-line - and in a quality which is similar to normal DVD. The DP-500 is built on the same core as the DP-450 - a new DVD-player with DivXT support, which was launched in October 2002. The DP-450 was already before the launch pre-ordered in more than 50,000 units.

At CES KiSS Technology will demonstrate live streaming from a PC to the DP-500 and also launch the new DP-470 which is to be sold in Q2 2003. The DP-470 is a combined receiver and DVD-player with DivXT-support. The amplifier is a full-blooded class D amplifier with integrated DTS and Dolby Digital which delivers 6 x 50w. The DP-470 is to be sold at a price of approximately US$400.

Jamo, a leading manufacturer of loudspeakers, has just signed an OEM-agreement with KiSS Technology to deliver 6x50 watts Dolby Digital Home Cinema Center with DivXT compatability. The new Jamo Home Cinema Center DVR-50 will be based on the DVD-technology from KiSS.
