Sound components wizard
The sound components wizard helps you to configure the components 
used to play the TV sound.
The TV speakers alone or with active subwoofer, active speakers, analogue 
or digital HiFi/AV amplifier or the Loewe Individual Sound Projector can be 
configured depending on what you want to use. 
The sound components wizard is preset to playback via TV speakers at 
the factory.
If a Loewe Preceiver Auro with link cable has been connected to the 
TV set, you can only select between TV speakers and Auro in the sound 
components wizard.
Upgradable Audio AC3/dts decoder
Your TV set may be equipped with an integrated Dolby Digital Decoder 
depending on the variant. This system has been introduced to the DVD 
video range and digital TV stations 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.
The upgrade kit decodes Dolby Digital, dts and MPEG. Stereo signals can 
also be reproduced on multi-channel via Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Pro 
Logic II. This is regardless of whether the signal is transmitted by an external 
device or received by the TV set.
Equipment / upgrade of the different set variants and accessories see 
page 70 and 71.

Assignment of the digital audio input
In order to be able to hear the digital sound of an external device con-
nected to an AV input, an AV input can be assigned to the digital audio 
input socket AUDIO DIGITAL IN. When switching to this AV input, the 
digital audio signal applied to the AUDIO DIGITAL IN input is passed on 
to the upgradable integrated Dolby Digital Decoder and the digital audio 
output socket AUDIO DIGITAL OUT. You will then hear the digital sound 
of the assigned AV input instead of the analogue sound if available.
Connecting devices to the digital audio input
For the digital audio playback from an external device, e.g. the DVD player, 
you have to feed the digital audio signal to the TV set.
The external digital audio signal can be played back via the upgradable 
Dolby Digital Decoder in the TV set, via an externally connected digital 
audio amplifier, Loewe Individual Sound Projector or Loewe Auro. 
➠  If an external audio amplifier or Loewe Individual Sound 
Projector is used, this must be registered in the sound 
components wizard (see page 52).
Call TV menu.
 Select Connections,
   go to the menu line below.
 Select Miscellaneous,
   go to the menu line below.
 Select Assign digital audio input,
   go to the menu line below.
 Select AV input.
To connect a DVD player to the digital audio input of the 
TV set for example, connect the digital output socket of 
the DVD player (DIGITAL OUT) via a cinch cable to the 
AUDIO DIGITAL IN socket on the TV set.
If new devices are connected and registered in the connec-
tion wizard, the digital audio input AUDIO DIGITAL IN is 
assigned in the connection wizard (see page 
45).
Audio connection in HDMI (DVI) devices
External devices with DVI connection
If an external device with DVI interface is connected by an HDMI/DVI 
adapter to one of the HDMI/DVI sockets of the TV set, you can connect 
the digital sound of the external device to the digital audio input socket 
AUDIO DIGITAL IN. 
The assignment of the digital audio input to the corresponding HDMI 
socket of the TV set takes place as described in the column on the left.
If you want to use the analogue sound of the external device, connect 
this to the AUDIO IN1 socket.
External devices with HDMI connection
If external devices with HDMI interface are connected to one of the HDMI/
DVI sockets of the TV set, no assignment of the audio input is necessary 
because in HDMI the digital transmission of picture and sound takes 
place via one connection.
RS-232C interface (upgradable interface)
You can connect either the Loewe Individual Sound Projector or a home 
network system of different manufacturers (e.g. AMX, Crestron) to your 
TV set via the RS-232C interface.
For the configuration of the RS-232C interface and further information 
about the different home networking systems, please contact your dealer.

Timer recording with external devices
➠  It is not possible to record HDTV broadcasts with external devices. Use 
the internal Digital Recorder for this if it is installed.
Recorder with Digital Link Plus
If you use an externally connected recorder with Digital Link Plus or a 
similar system, the TV set and connected recorder exchange data (e.g. 
compare station lists TV set/recorder or timer data of analogue stations). 
Please consult the operating manual of your recorder to find out of your 
recorder is Digital Link Plus compatible. In addition use only Euro-AV 
cables for the connection between TV set and recorder.
Analogue stations
The timer data are transmitted automatically from the TV set to 
the recorder after programming is complete. (For DVD recorders 
in addition the recording quality SQ or EQ is also transmitted.)
The recording is then controlled by the recorder and the recorder 
tuner is used for reception of the programme.
The recording data are not saved in the timer overview of the TV 
set. Consequently if you want to change or delete the timer data 
then you must do so on the recorder.
Digital stations
If you want to record digital stations with an externally connected 
recorder, then the DVB tuner is used and the TV device takes over 
control of the recorder. Then the station on the TV set is locked during 
the timer recording. It is not possible to switch over to another DVB 
station.
Recorder without Digital Link Plus
If the programmed timer cannot be transmitted to the external recorder 
(no Digital Link Plus) but supports Digital Link (Loewe-own system), the 
TV receiver is always used.
Digital Link must be switched on on the recorder. Read the operating 
instructions of your Loewe recorder.
In addition use only fully wired Euro AV cables for the connection between 
TV set and recorder.
Analogue and digital stations
You can control the recording from the TV set. The recorder must 
be set manually to the AV input, to which the TV device is connect-
ed. The station on the TV set is locked during the timer recording. 
It is not possible to switch over to another station.
Copy protection
Copy-protected programmes will not be output on the EURO AV sockets 
for legal reasons.
