  Conditional Access module (CA module)
In order to receive coded digital stations, a Conditional Access module 
( CA module) and a Smart Card must be inserted in the  CI slot of your TV 
set (see page 11). 
The CA module and the Smart Card are not part of the TV set’s scope 
of delivery. They are usually available from your dealer. Loewe does not  
provide any guarantee for the functioning of the CA module.
The TV set must first recognise and set up the CA module during initial 
operation. Therefore, it can take up to a minute until decoding starts 
during initial operation.
Inserting the Smart Card into the CA module
Push the  Smart Card into the CA module as far as it goes so that the side 
with the gold coloured contact chip is facing the side of the CA module 
marked with the provider’s logo. Note the direction of the arrow printed 
on the Smart Card.
Inserting the CA module in the CI slot
➠ Switch off the TV set’s mains switch.
Remove the cover from the rear of the set.
Carefully insert the CA module in CI slot 1 or CI slot 2 
with the contact side forward.
If you are standing in front of the TV set (display) then 
the logo on the CA module must be pointing to the rear. 
Do not use force. Make sure the module is not twisted 
in the process. If the CA module is correctly installed, the 
ejector button protrudes a little further.
Replace the cover.

General information on Media+
 
MediaHome gives you access to photos, videos and music from your per-
sonal storage media, e.g. from storage media connected via USB and from 
media servers in your home network to which your TV set is connected. 
MediaNet delivers multimedia data from the Internet.
➠  
Please follow the information in the right column for the Internet 
functions.
Connecting the TV set to your network
To receive media via media servers in your home network or via the 
Internet, you have to integrate your TV set in your home network. You can 
connect your TV set both with a  wired connection (Ethernet, PowerLine) 
or via a  wireless radio connection (WLAN). The TV set has an  internal WLAN 
antenna. You can find connection examples for both cases on page 21.
The TV sets are provided with a standard network configuration ex works 
(automatic assignment of the IP address, WLAN deactivated). The TV set 
can normally have a wired connection to your home network without any 
problems when using these default settings. For a wireless connection 
or for integration in special networks, please select the corresponding 
settings in the Media menu (see page  64).
Your Loewe TV set supports the  UPnP AV standard for data playback in 
the home network. You can find more detailed information on this in the 
technical data on page 139 and in the glossary from page 147 onwards.
MediaNet
If you wish to use the internet functions, we recommend registering your 
TV set on our homepage.
http://support.loewe.tv   (International),
http://support.loewe.tv/uk  (United Kingdom and Republic of Ireland),
http://support.loewe.tv/au  (Australia) or
http://support.loewe.tv/nz  (New Zealand)
(under Register now).
Simply follow the steps in the registration process.
The MAC address of your TV set is required for the registration. You can find 
this in the index of the TV set under Integrated features – MAC address (TV).
➠  
Some of the Internet functions described below may not be available 
(see also MediaUpdate chapter below). The general availability and range 
of Internet functions are entirely dependent on the provider. Loewe has 
no influence over the long-term availability of individual offers.
➠  The content shown in the Recommendations area may change from 
time to time without prior notice.
Help for configuration problems
Loewe cannot provide any support for PC hardware and software or 
network components owing to the diverse configuration options with 
home networks.
Please contact the administrator of your home network and/or special-
ist dealer for support when setting up and for maintenance of network 
connections, storage media, media server software and network devices, 
e.g. routers.
  MediaUpdate - additional functions
Additional functions in the MediaPortal are planned, particularly for Loewe 
Media+
. You can update your TV set yourself. You will find new software 
versions on our internet page.
You can find notes on carrying out a software update on page 128.
