31 - Operating modes – Radio Radio You can only receive radio stations via DVB. If you do not have any DVB radio reception, you can play a sound signal from an external device using the TV set via the sound/AV inputs. Use the RADIO button on the remote control or the R on the control ring of the TV set to switch the radio on or off. You can see a station list of the radio stations or with DVB-T in UK the station logo. In this case you can call up the station list by using the OK or INFO key. Station list is sorted by LCN. You can see a station list of the radio stations. Digital DVB-T stations are indicated by , DVB-C stations by and DVB-S stations by . Encrypted stations are additionally indicated by . Ask your specialist dealer about decoders or the use of a CA module and a Smart Card for the reception of encrypted stations. When time and title are sent by the marked station these data are displayed at the bottom of the station list. You can switch off the screen with the red coloured key. The LED indicator on the set changes from green to orange. You can switch the screen display back on by using the OK key, red or blue coloured keys, by using RADIO, MENU or END on the remote control or by using R on the control ring of the TV set. Station switching with dark screen: by using – or + on the control ring of the TV set or by using the remote control P– and P+ or by using the numeric buttons (for DVB-T operation in UK, the buttons may be configured differently by the provider).

- 32 Operating additional equipment Search for and store the station of the video recorder (if no Euro-AV cable is available) Switch on the test station on the VCR or insert a recorded tape and start playback. In some video recorders the station must be switched on by activating the modu- lator. Then call the AV selection on the TV set with 0 AV. Select the menu item “VIDEO“ in the AV selection and call using OK. To prevent “normal“ TV stations being found in the search, pull out the antenna plug from the antenna input of the VCR temporarily (the cable to the antenna system). If you cannot see the test station or playback from the cassette, the VCR is transmitting on a different channel. You then have to search for the station or set it manually. 1. Call the TV menu with the MENU button. 2. Select the “Settings“ menu item with . 3. Select the line below using and use to select “Stations“. 4. Select the line below using and select “Manual adjustment“ using and call this menu using OK. 5. Enter channel “E30“ under the “Channel“ menu item (“Antenna/cable (analo- gue)“ select in this menu above, if necessary). 6. Start search with the blue coloured key. 7. When the station has been found, change the name if needed, confirm with OK and save with the red coloured key. 8. A list of the stored stations is displayed. 9. Select 0 (VIDEO) here and overwrite this station storage location using the red coloured key. 10. Hide the menu again using the END button. Plug the antenna plug back in. If you now get interference because a TV station is transmitting on the same channel as the VCR station, you have to change the transmitting station on the VCR and search for the VCR station on the TV again.Login and connect equipment You have logged in and connected all connected equipment in the initial instal- lation. If you want to connect other equipment or disconnect equipment, call the connection wizard. Call up the TV menu Select “Connections“ Select the submenu line Select “New devices/modifications“ and ... Call using OK. State what equipment you want to connect. State whether a piece of audio equip- ment is to be connected (more details as of page 35). The connection wizard then shows you which sockets you should connect this equipment to. Then connect the equipment to these sockets according to the connection diagram. Connecting video/DVD recorders In addition to the connection via the Euro-AV sockets, you also have to connect the antenna (only for terrestrial antenna or cable systems) through the VCR/DVD recorder to the TV set. The antenna signal is then available to the video/DVD recorder and the TV set. Note: Use Euro-AV cables with right-angled plugs as shown.

33 - Operating additional equipment Timer recording with video or DVD recorder You can programme timer recordings on the TV set. Programming can be done with the EPG programme guide (not with DVB-T in UK), teletext or manually. Call the “Timer list“ menu with the button and press the red coloured key for the “Recording wizard“. Select whether you want to programme the recording via EPG, teletext or manually. You also have the option to programme recordings directly from the EPG programme guide or teletext. Note: Copy-protected programmes are not output to the Euro-AV sockets for legal reasons. When you have connected the Euro-AV socket to a recorder which has Digital Link Plus or a comparable system from a different manufacturer, the timer data of analogue terrestrial stations are transmitted from the TV to the recorder. The recor- ding quality SQ or EQ is transmitted for DVD recorders, in addition to the station, date and time. The recording is then controlled by the recorder and the recorder tuner is used for reception of the station. The recording data are not saved in the timer list of the TV set. You will only find the timer data in the recorder. If you want to record from digital stations, the TV tuner is used and the recorder is controlled by the TV set. Then the station is locked during the timer recording. If you have connected a Loewe video recorder with Digital Link to the Euro-AV socket (without Digital Link Plus) and you are using the timer programming of the TV, the TV receiver is always used, for terrestrial stations as well. The TV controls the recording. You have to set the recorder to the AV input (signal source) to which the TV set is connected. Then the station on the TV set is locked during the timer recording. Digital Link must be switched on on the recorder. Read the operating instructions of your Loewe recorder for more information. Use only Euro-AV cables, which are completely wired, otherwise Digital Link/Digital Link Plus will not work. Another advantage of Digital Link is that you can install the recorder in a conce- aled place (e.g. in a rack). You can control the recorder with the TV set. If you have a Loewe recorder with both systems, you can use all the advantages. The advantages of Digital Link Plus are used for the timer recording; the advan- tages of Digital Link for concealed installation of the recorder. Video playback There are several ways to see the picture and hear the sound of the VCR, DVD player/recorder or camcorder on your TV: 1. You can usually use the Euro-AV sockets on the TV set and on the VCR. For camcorders or digital cameras, use the AVS sockets on the right of the TV set. DVD players/recorders and SetTopBoxes may have HDMI or component sockets for video and audio transmission. In this case, use the corresponding sockets on the TV set. When playing back from a video recorder using Euro-AV socket and Digital Link Plus (or a comparable system from another manufacturer), the picture from the VCR is shown at the current channel location. When playing back from another VCR, camcorder or digital camera, use the AV selection or the station list (OK) to select the AV socket/the device to which the VCR is connected. Video recorders transmit a switching voltage during playback, which the TV can evaluate (can be activated in the connection wizard or in the “TV menu – Connections – Miscellaneous – Allow switching voltage“ - set to “yes“). Then the picture of the video recorder is shown during playback at the current station location. 2. You can use the antenna connection between the VCR and the TV without a Euro-AV socket. The sound is only transmitted in mono. Select the first menu item, e.g. VIDEO, in the AV selection. Calling AV inputs in the AV selection: Call AV selection Select AV device/socket (or VIDEO if the video recorder has been connected only via the antenna socket) and use ... to call. Now you will see the playback from the connected AV device. Calling AV input via the station list Call the station list with the OK button in TV mode. In the numeric and alphabetical sorting, you will always find the AV sockets at the top of the list. HDMI/DVICOMP.

- 34 Operating additional equipment Audio output “AUDIO DIGITAL OUT“ The digital audio signal is applied at the “AUDIO DIGITAL OUT“ socket of the TV. For example, you can connect an external digital audio amplifier or the Loewe Auro system here. An analogue audio signal from the TV set or another sound source which is recei- ved at one of the Euro-AV sockets of the TV set is converted into a digital signal (PCM) and output at the “AUDIO DIGITAL OUT“ socket. Conversion from external analogue AV sources to PCM is not possible if the TV’s loudspeakers are used as a centre channel. In this case, connect your audio amplifier additionally to the TV (AUDIO OUT L/R) with a cinch cable and switch the audio amplifier to analogue audio input. The digital TV sound or the digital sound of a connected auxiliary device is only audible via an external digital audio amplifier (e.g. Loewe Auro system).Assignment of digital audio inputs and outputs Audio input “AUDIO DIGITAL IN“ The TV set has a coaxial digital audio input “AUDIO DIGITAL IN“ and a coaxial digital audio output “AUDIO DIGITAL OUT“. If you are using an external digital surround amplifier for sound reproduction, you have to feed digital audio signals to the TV, e.g. from the DVD player. Connect the output socket of the DVD player (DIG OUT) to the TV‘s “AUDIO DIGI- TAL IN“ socket with a cinch cable. In the connection wizard, specify that audio transmission is to be digital. Specify that the digital sound is to be assigned for example to the Euro-AV socket 2 to feed the digital sound to the digital audio output of the TV set and via this to the external audio amplifier. Further information about this can be found on page 36.

35 - Operating additional equipment Connecting Loewe DVD Preceiver Auro 2216 PS and Individual Sound loudspeaker system You can play audio signals from the TV or DVD player in cinema quality with these components. In addition to the subwoofer illustrated below the Individual Sound system includes up to 5 loudspeakers for the front , center and surround reproduc- tion. The centre signal can be reproduced alternatively by the TV speakers. Connect the cubic socket on the DVD Preceiver to the “Master“ cubic socket on the subwoofer. Use the cubic plug cable enclosed with the DVD Preceiver. Plug the white plug (without kink protection) into the cubic socket on the subwoofer. For TV as a centre loudspeaker, connect “AUDIO IN C“ on the TV set to “PRE OUT C“on the DVD Preceiver using a cinch cable. Connect the digital audio output of the TV set “AUDIO DIGITAL OUT“ to the “DIGITAL IN“ input of the Preceiver using a cinch cable. Connect the TV socket “SERVICE“ to the TV-L-Link socket on the Preceiver using the L-Link cable (provided with the Preceiver). Switch on the TV set and the Preceiver. Via the L-Link, the TV recognises whether the Preceiver is connected. Select the “Tremo“ loudspeaker system in the DVD menu of the Preceiver, set the listener/speaker distances and adjust the speaker levels. Please consult the Preceiver manual. If you want to listen to the sound via the TV speakers temporarily, call the Sound menu, select “Sound via“ and then “TV“. If you want to listen to the sound via the Loewe Auro system, select “AURO“ under “Sound via“.

- 36 Operating additional equipment Connecting other audio amplifiers or active speakers In the connection wizard, select “HiFi/AV amplifier“ under “Equipment selection: audio component“. The connection wizard allows configuration of different audio amplifiers (stereo amplifiers, surround amplifiers, analogue or digital) with different sound formats (Dolby Digital, dts, MPEG and Stereo/PCM). Refer to the operating instructions for the audio amplifier to be connected. Select “Digital“ under “Audio transmission“ for digital audio amplifiers. Con- nect the digital audio output of the TV AUDIO DIGITAL OUT to the digital audio input of the digital amplifier. Assign the digital audio input to the socket through which the corresponding pic- ture is transmitted (e.g. AV2 if a DVD player is connected there). Then the digital sound is passed to the digital audio output of the TV set and fed to the external audio amplifier via this. Specify which sound formats can be decoded with your digital amplifier (Dolby Digital, MPEG, dts). Specify under “Type of amplifier“ whether the digital amplifier is a stereo or surround amplifier. If it is a surround amplifier, specify whether or not the TV loudspeakers are to be used as centre loudspeakers. Connect the centre output of the amplifier to the centre output of the TV using a cinch cable, if necessary. Note: do not use the centre loudspeaker connection on the amplifier; instead use the pre-amplifier centre output.Select “Analogue“ for “Sound transmission“ for analogue audio amplifiers. The sound for the analogue amplifier is transmitted via the AUDIO OUT L/R connec- tions of the TV to the audio amplifier. Connect the amplifier with two cinch cables. Specify under “Type of amplifier“ whether the analogue amplifier is a stereo or surround amplifier. If it is a surround amplifier, also specify whether or not the TV speakers are to be used as centre loudspeakers. Connect the centre output of the amplifier to the centre output of the TV using a cinch cable, if necessary. Note: do not use the centre loudspeaker connection on the amplifier; instead use the pre-amplifier centre output. If you want to listen to the sound via the TV loudspeakers temporarily, call the Sound menu using the L button, select “Sound via“ and then “TV“. When connecting active speakers, select “Active speakers“ in the connection wizard under “Audio equipment selection“. The sound for the active speakers is transmitted via the AUDIO OUT L/R connections to the active speakers. Make connections to the active speakers using the cinch cables.

37 - Operating additional equipment HDMI (DVI) connection The HDMI connection (High Definition Multimedia Interface) allows digital picture and sound transmission via a connecting cable, e.g. from Loewe DVD Recorder Centros 2102/2172 HD. The digital picture and sound data are transmitted without data compression and therefore lose none of their quality. In the equipment connected, no analogue/ digital conversion is necessary, which might also have lead to losses in quality. DVI signals can be also be reproduced by the HDMI connection using a DVI/HDMI adapter cable. This is possible because HDMI is based on DVI and is downwardly compatible. That means that the digital video signals are transmitted via HDMI - no audio signals are transmitted, though. In addition, both use the same copy protection method HDCP. Connect the set with an HDMI connection using an HDMI cable (type A, 19-pin) to the HDMI socket of the TV set. Log in the HDMI connection in the connection wizard (TV menu - Connections - New devices/modifications). Select the HDMI connection in the AV selection. Call AV selection Select HDMI/DVI socket and use ... to call. Start playback on the device connected with HDMI connection. The set automatically recognises and sets the best possible format for the video. If transmission occurs via a DVI/HDMI adapter cable, then you can feed in the appropriate analogue audio via the audio input sockets AUDIO IN L/R on the TV set. The sound is reproduced via the TV speakers. If you have connected a digital external audio amplifier, you can select the digital audio signal in the connection wizard (TV menu - Connections - New devices/mo- difications) and assign it to the HDMI/DVI socket. You can make the other settings for the audio amplifier as described for digital amplifiers on page 36. The digital audio signal of the DVI audio source is fed in at the AUDIO DIGITAL IN socket on the TV. Feed the digital audio signal from the TV AUDIO DIGITAL OUT to the external amplifier. Set geometry: as described for VGA/XGA connection. VIDEOCOMP.
