The current software versions can be installed on your set with a USB stick. Contact your dealer for a software update by USB stick. The software can also be updated by different DVB reception paths (DVB- T, DVB-C, DVB-S). However, the prerequisite for this is that the software is provided by the appropriate DVB reception path. This may differ depending on the TV set and the DVB program pro- vided. Ask your local dealer for information whether a software update via DVB reception path is possible.

Page 42: Devices To The Connections Av1/Av2/Avs
Operating additional equipment Devices to the connections AV1/AV2/AVS Accessory equipment such as DVD players, video and DVD recorders etc. can be connected to the TV set at the Euro-AV sockets AV1 and AV2 (see page 5). The AV input AVS (see page 5) offers the possibility of connecting a digital camera or a camcorder for example. ➠ All devices at the AV inputs must be registered in in the connection wizard (see page 40 onwards). The connection designations vary according to the logged in device. The AV selection then contains, for example, DVD in place of AV1 or CAM in place of AVS. The Euro-AV sockets can process different signal types. Which signal type your accessory device provides can be found in the operating manual of the appropriate device. Owing to the large number of AV devices available on the market, we can only mention a few examples for the connection of accessory equipment to the AV sockets here. The following description of the connected equipment to the connec- tions AV1/2/S refers to the device types logged into the connection wizard from page 40 onwards. If the sound of a device connected to an AV socket is to be transmit- ted digitally, a cinch cable must be plugged between the coaxial digital output of the accessory equipment and the AUDIO DIGITAL IN socket of the TV set. In addition the digital audio input must be assigned to the corresponding AV socket in the connection wizard (see page 41). - Page 43 Operating additional equipment Connecting a DVD recorder to the TV set ➠ DVD recorder is registered with the connection wizard. Switch off all equipment before connecting. Connect the Euro-AV output of the DVD recorder to the AV2 socket of the TV set. Use a fully equipped Euro-AV cable (available from your dealer) for this. If you want to receive and record analogue stations with the receiver (tuner) built into the recorder, the recorder must be looped into the aerial cable. Connect the DVD recorder as shown in the connection example below.

Page 44: Devices To The Hdmi (Dvi) Connections
The HDMI connections (High Definition Multimedia Interface) allow the transmission of digital video and audio signals from a player, e.g. DVD player, DVD re- corder, Blu-ray player, game console or Set-Top-Box via a single cable. The digital video and audio data are transmitted without data compres- sion digitally and therefore lose none of their quality. Your TV set shows 24p films (see glossary on page 69) which are output by a player connected via HDMI, e.g. Loewe BluTech Vision, automatically in the original 24p format. Film quality improvement (DMM) must be set to on (see page 21). Digital video signals from a DVI player can be also be reproduced by the HDMI connection using a DVI/HDMI adapter cable.

The connecting cable with three cinch plugs each transfers the picture information with a better quality than a EURO-AV cable. You need another cable for the sound transmission. Connecting the device ➠ Device to COMP. IN is registered with the connection wizard. Switch off all equipment before connecting. Connect the Component Video outputs of the external device by a triple cinch cable to the Cb/Pb Cr/Pr Y sockets of the TV set. Connect the analogue audio outputs of the external device to the AUDIO IN1 L/R sockets of the TV set by a dual cinch cable. -
Page 47: Sound Components Wizard
Operating additional equipment Sound components wizard The sound components wizard helps you to configure the components used to play the TV sound. Depending on what you want to use, active speakers, speaker systems, Loewe Individual Sound Projector and analogue and digital HiFi/AV am- plifiers can be configured. The sound components wizard is preset to playback via TV speakers at the factory. If a Loewe Preceiver Auro has been connected to the TV set via link cable, you can only select between TV speakers and Auro in the sound components wizard. Integrated Dolby Digital decoder Your TV set is equipped with an integrated Dolby Digital decoder. This system has been introduced to the DVD video range and digital TV sta- tions can also broadcast in digital multi-channel sound. For playback of 5 audio channels the surround sound is reinforced by the deepest frequencies from the subwoofer channel (SUB), (5.1 reproduction = 5 audio channels and 1 subwoofer). All 5 audio channels are reproduced with the full frequency range from 20-20,000 hertz and generate the original theatre effect. -

Operating additional equipment Connecting other speaker systems or active speakers to the Dolby Digital decoder If you want to use another similar speaker system or active speakers, you can connect these to the AUDIO LINK interface of the TV set with an adapter cable. A comparable speaker system is connected in a similar way to that de- scribed above for "subwoofer without AUDIO LINK interface".
