  Devices to the  HDMI 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 can show 24p films, which are output from a connected 
HDMI player (e.g. Loewe BluTech Vision Interactive) optimally (see glos-
sary, page  147). 
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. However, the sound must then be supplied additionally.
HDMI and DVI both use the same copy protection method HDCP.
Connecting the device
Switch off all equipment before connecting.
Connect the device by an HDMI cable (Type A, 19-pole) to one of the 
HDMI sockets of the TV set.
An HDMI device is connected to the side HDMI socket (e.g. camcorder) 
in the same way as shown in the figure.
If a DVI/HDMI adapter cable is used, the corresponding sound can be 
piped through the AUDIO IN (analogue) or AUDIO DIGITAL IN (digital) 
socket on the TV set (see also page 123).Playback from the device
If the device at HDMI supports the Digital Link HD functionality, the TV set 
will automatically switch to the corresponding HDMI input after starting 
the replay at the HDMI device.
The HDMI input can also be called up manually:
Call AV selection.
Select HDMI socket.
   With Digital Link HD-capable devices the device 
name may possibly appear in place of the connection 
name.
 OK Switch over.
Start playback on the connected HDMI device. The best 
possible format for the picture is detected and set auto-
matically.
 Remote TV switch on via Digital Link
You can select whether the TV set is to switch on automatically from 
Standby mode if a disc is played or a screen menu displayed on a Digital 
Link HD-enabled device connected to HDMI1 or HDMI2. 
You can find the settings in the TV Menu under Connections Ø Other Ø

Subwoofer with AUDIO LINK interface (see connection diagram):
The subwoofer is connected to the TV set via the AUDIO LINK interface. 
Use the AUDIO LINK cable provided with the subwoofer.
Subwoofer without AUDIO LINK interface (not illustrated):
Plug the adapter cable to the AUDIO LINK interface of the TV set. Connect 
the cinch connections of the adapter cable to the 6-pin cinch connections 
of the subwoofer. Use the 6-pole cinch cable provided with the subwoofer 
for this.
The cubic plug cable connects the master connection on the subwoofer 
to the cubic plug of the adapter cable.
The adapter and cubic plug cable are available from your dealer (see 
Accessories, page 141).  Connecting Loewe  sound system
Setup
The arrangement of speakers and TV set can look like the illustration 
below: 
The front and surround speakers should be installed symmetrically to the 
TV set and to your sitting position.
You can place the subwoofer anywhere on the floor. We recommend 
placing it in front asymmetrically next to the TV set.
If a centre speaker is used, it should be placed centrally below the TV set.
For the settings in the sound components wizard enter the distances of 
the centre speaker, and the front and surround speakers to your sitting 
position. This guarantees a natural spatial image of the sound.
➠  If you have connected speakers directly to the TV set (Connecting sys-
tem speakers; e.g. Loewe Stereospeaker I 40/46 Sound or at the screw 
terminals), you can use these as front or center speakers depending 
on the setting in the sound components wizard.  
➠  If you have not connected any speakers directly to the TV set (connec-
tion system speakers or screw terminals), the two front speakers and 
the center speaker (e.g. Centerspeaker I Compose) are connected to 
the subwoofer of the Individual Sound System.
