Welcome
About MediaNetwork
Your Loewe TV set is equipped with the Network Mediaplayer. This
enables you to play multimedia contents (photos, music files, videos),
which are provided by a media server in your home network (see also
page 17). The Network Mediaplayer can play data from different types
of memory media (e.g. PCs, Network Attached Storages (NAS), Internet
radio), depending on the type of media server used.
You can connect your TV set wired (Ethernet, PowerLine) to your home
network.
The Network Mediaplayer supports UPnP AV standard.
You will find more detailed information in the technical data on page 17
and in the glossary from page 18.
All photos, albums and album graphics shown in these operating instructions
are just examples.
Help for problems with home network
Because of the wide variety of configurations of home networks, Loewe
cannot provide support for PC hardware and software or network
components.
For support with configuration of and maintaining network connections,
storage media and network devices, such as routers (positions 4 and 5

Use the 7 button to go back up a level respectively.
With the END button you return from any item in the
menu overview to the media selection (page 7).
This screen symbol shows you that the required operating
function is currently not available.

Troubleshooting
Problem Possible cause Remedy
The TV set is not getting any connection to
the server. On the main screen Connect is
shown and the Connectivity display does not
light up.
a) No connection to the media server.
b) On your PC with Windows XP several media
servers run at the same time, e.g. Windows
Media Player (WMP) 11 and TwonkyMedia
(also see page 17).
a1) Check whether the media server is switched
on.
a2) Press OK to make a new attempt at
connecting.
a3) Check the connection using the PING command.
To do this, in the entry request on your PC, enter
the command ping.exe, followed by the IP
address of your TV set. You will find the current
IP address in the Device Information (see
page 9). Example:
ping.exe 192.168.1.123
If the data packages are not transferred, then
there is a problem with the network.
a4) Check the arrangement of the cables.
a5) Select another media server with the EPG
button.
b) If there are several media servers, they can
impede each other. For example, when
working with TwonkyMedia close file release
by WMP11.
Your TV set does not have an IP assigned
to it despite required type of IP assignment
Automatic (DHCP).
No DHCP server is working on your network. Set up a DHCP server.
Assign a fixed IP address for the TV set.
Despite video or music file being played back,
no sound can be heard.
a) The TV set is set to mute or the volume has
been turned down too far.
b) An audio device that does not exist or that
is not connected is registered in the TV
menu under Connections → Sound
components (e.g. HiFi/AV amplifier).
a) Increase the volume by pressing the V+ button
on your remote control. This will also cancel
any mute setting.
b) Connect up the audio device and switch it on.
In the Sound components wizard change back
to TV speakers.
Although the file is visible on the media server,
it is not shown in MediaNetwork.
The file is not being made available by your
media server.
Change your media server. Read up about this
in the section "Media server software" on
page 17.
A media file that is displayed can not be
played back.
The format of the file is not supported (see
also limitations in section File formats supported
on page 17).
No remedy.

Ethernet (wired network)

(100Base-T)
Supported home network standard
Universal Plug and Play Audio / Video (UPnP AV)
Media server software
To play multimedia contents from devices in your home network, you
require media server software which makes the relevant files available
to you. Handling of individual files depends on the technical properties
and also on the media server software used.
On our homepage at www.loewe-int.de you can download a test version of
the TwonkyMedia Media server. With your TV set you have simultaneously
acquired the option if obtaining a free license for this media server.
Alternatively to that, you can also use other media software such as the
Windows Media Player (WMP) as of version 11.
For communication with your PC, certain port addresses of the network
connection are required. They may not be blocked by a firewall if there
is one, otherwise this could cause serious connection errors.
Windows Media Player 11 requires the port addresses 1900 and the block
of 10280 up to and including 10284 (all for UDP) as well as 2869 and
10243 (both for TCP). For TwonkyMedia the port addresses 1030, 1900
and 9080 (all for UDP) and 9000 (for TCP) must be available.
Other ports to be kept free depend on the operating system you are
using.
Contact your network administrator about configuring the firewall.
