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 pages 5 and 6). 
The AV input AVS (see pages 5 and 6) 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 44 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 44 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 45).
The assignment of the digital audio input may also take place outside 
the connection wizard. With TV menu  Connections  Miscellaneous 
 Assign digital audio input, the digital audio input can be assigned to 
the appropriate AV socket, see page 53.Connecting a DVD player to the TV set
➠  DVD player is registered with the connection wizard.
Switch off all equipment before connecting.
Connect the Euro-AV output of the DVD player to the 
AV1 socket of the TV set. 
Use a fully equipped Euro-AV cable (available from your 
dealer) for this. 
Playback from AV device
If the device supports Digital Link Plus on AV1/2 or if Immediate playback  
yes was selected in the connection wizard, the TV set switches automati-
cally to the appropriate AV input after switching on the AV device
The AV input can also be called manually, however.
Call AV selection.

wizard.
Switch off all equipment before connecting.
Connect the AV output of the camcorder to the audio 
input sockets L/R (white/red) and the S-VHS connection 
of the AVS sockets of the TV set. 
Use the AV cable enclosed with the camcorder for this. 
Some camcorders only supply an FBAS signal instead of 
an S-VHS signal at the AV output. In this case use the AVS 
video input (yellow).
➠  The side HDMI 3 socket is only available for certain set 
variants (see table of equipment on page 71.
If your camcorder has an HDMI output you can also con-
nect the device to the HDMI 3 socket on the side (see 
connections on page  6). In this case the camera does not 
have to be logged into the connection wizard.

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.

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 recorder, 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. 
A maximum of five devices can be connected in cascade to every HDMI 
socket. The devices are arranged in the AV menu and in the station list 
below the appropriate HDMI socket. If the respective device sends its own 
device name, this appears in place of the connection name.
Your TV set shows 24p films (see glossary on page 72) 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 22).
Digital video signals from a DVI player can be also be reproduced by the 
HDMI connection using a DVI/HDMI adapter cable. The sound must be 
piped in additionally. 
HDMI and DVI both use the same copy protection method HDCP.
Connecting the device
➠  It is not necessary to register HDMI devices with the 
connection wizard.
Switch off all equipment before connecting.
Connect the device by an HDMI cable (Type A, 19-pole) 
to one of the HDMI/DVI sockets of the TV set.
If a DVI/HDMI adapter cable is used, the corresponding 
sound can be piped through the AUDIO IN1 (analogue) 
or AUDIO DIGITAL IN (digital) socket on the TV set (see 
also page 53).Playback from the device
Call AV selection.
Select HDMI/DVI socket.
   With Digital Link HD-capable devices the device 
name may possibly appear in place of the connection

 OK Switch over.
Start playback on the connected HDMI device. The best 
possible format for the picture is detected and set auto-
matically.
Digital Link HD
With Digital Link HD accessory equipment with CEC support (see glossary 
on page 72) is controlled by the TV set. A concealed installation of the 
accessory equipment is also possible.
Operation of equipment with Digital Link HD
As long as a HDMI programme slot is selected, all remote control com-
mands which can be processed by the device connected to the respective 
socket are passed on to it. The device can therefore be installed concealed 
and still be controlled.
➠  Volume setting, sound off/on, sound adjustment and selection of 
picture format always act on the operation of the TV set.
