Welcome

Thank you,

for choosing a Loewe product. We are happy to welcome you as our customer.

At Loewe we combine the highest standards of technology, design and user

friendliness. This is equally true of TV, DVD, video, audio and accessories.

Neither technology nor design is an end in itself, but both are intended to

provide our customers with the best possible audio and visual experience.

Our design is not inuenced by short-term, fashionable trends. You have,

after all, purchased a high-quality piece of equipment which you do not want to get tired of looking at tomorrow or the day after.

You can control four units with the remote control, a Loewe TV set, a Loewe

video recorder or a Loewe DVD recorder in addition to this DVD preceiver.

The mains plug must be easily accessible so that the unit can be disconnected

• at any time. Lay the cable in such a way that it cannot get damaged. The power cable

• should not be kinked or laid over sharp edges, not stood upon or exposed to chemicals - the latter also applies to the device as a whole. A mains cable with

damaged insulation can cause electric shocks and is a re hazard.

When removing the power plug, pull the body of the plug, and not the cable.

• Otherwise, the wires in the plug could get damaged and cause a short circuit the next time it is plugged in.

You should also read and follow the safety advice on the following pages.

Set up

Place the DVD-Preceiver on a rm, level base.

• Do not place the DVD-Preceiver in the vicinity of sources of intense heat or in

• direct sunlight. When installing in a cabinet or enclosed shelf: Leave about 2.5cm free space

• around the DVD Preceiver for unhindered air circulation to prevent build-up of heat. There can be interference to the images and sound of any nearby television,

• video recorder or radio. If this occurs, do not place the unit near to a television, video recorder or radio, or switch the unit off after removing the disc. Install the DVD-Preceiver where there is nothing to obstruct the remote con-

• trol‘s infrared signal from reaching the DVD-Preceiver display.

Do not place strong articial light sources in front of the device. This may

• affect infrared reception. If there is an electrical storm, disconnect the antenna and mains plug. Power

• surges caused by lightning strikes can damage the unit through the antenna system or the mains. The antenna and mains should also be disconnected if the unit is to remain

• unsupervised for a long period of time.

Cardboard box and packaging

You have opted for a durable and technically sophisticated product. In line with national regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, we pay a fee to authorised recyclers who collect packaging from dealers. However, we recommend that you keep the original cardboard box and the rest of the packaging materials so that the unit can, if necessary, be transported in the safest possible conditions.

The unit

Important: The EU Directive 2002/96/EG governs the proper re-acceptance, handling and recycling of used electronic appliances. Old electronic appliances must therefore be disposed of separately.

Never throw this set in the normal domestic waste. You can hand in your old set

free of charge at identied collection points or at your dealer if you buy a similar

new set. Other details about re-acceptance (also for non-EU countries) are available from your local administration.

Welcome

Cleaning

Only clean your DVD-Preceiver with a damp, soft, clean cloth (with no aggres-

• sive cleaning agents). If DVD-Preceiver fails to read the disc correctly, the reader unit in the device

• may be soiled. Use a commercially-available cleaning disc. Always keep the disc drawer closed to prevent dust getting into the drawer

• and onto the lens.

For your safety

For your own safety and to avoid unnecessary damage to your unit, please read and follow the safety advice below:

This DVD-Preceiver is only to be used for receiving, displaying and playing

• visual and sound signals. Switch off your DVD system (Centros, TV and any other audio components

• which may be connected) before connecting or disconnecting other devices or speakers.

Do not open up the hous-

• ing, or you could be directly exposed to the laser beam. The laser beam will be visible if the unit is open. DO NOT LOOK INTO THE LASER BEAM.

Protect your DVD-Preceiver from:

liquids and damp

• shock and mechanical stress

•

magnetic and electrical elds

•

cold, heat, direct sunlight and extreme uctuations in temperature

• dust

• anything which obstructs ventilation

• manual interference with the unit‘s interior

•

PLEASE NOTE: TO AVOID RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE COVER (OR THE REAR OF THE UNIT). THERE ARE NO PARTS INSIDE THE UNIT THAT CAN BE REPAIRED BY THE USER. REPAIRS SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY A LOEWE DEALER.

If you have moved the DVD-Preceiver from a cold to a warm environment, leave it to stand for about an hour because of the risk of condensation building up. Do not switch it on until it has reached room temperature. This will avoid seriously damaging the components.

Read this operating manual, and experiment with your new equipment‘s features so that you are familiar with it.

Advantages of connection to a Loewe TV set

If you connect your Auro to a Loewe TV, you are able to enjoy the Loewe system communication ”L-Link”. With L-Link, Auro and your TV join forces in an intelligent network and form a high-performance home cinema system. Auro and the TV exchange data via the L-Link, among other things to check whether audio data are available (screen stays off) or whether audio and video data are available (screen switches on automatically). Thanks to L-Link your TV assumes that Auro will take over processing of all audio signals within the equipment network. The Auro switches on automatically when you switch on the TV. You can operate the whole equipment network with ”one hand” using the Assist remote control.

Technical requirements for L-Link

Loewe TV of chassis generation Q/S/P25xx TV software as of Version 6.0; if

•

your TV is equipped with an older software, please contact your Loewe dealer for a software update

• L-Link cable connection must be established in a powerless state; see page

•

8/9. Auro must be connected to the Euro AV-input AV2/3 of the TV; see page 9.

•

Your Auro has only been designed for use in a domestic environment. The warranty covers this normal use of the DVD-Preceiver.

Auro is a DVD-Preceiver. It covers the scope of functions of a DVD player (”DVD/CD”) and a radio receiver (”Tuner”) for medium wave (AM) and VHF (FM).

Processing and transfer of the audio signals take place in a pre-amplier with

different decoders. This allows you to set various sound modes – depending on the format of the sound source (e.g. DVD, Tuner, TV …).

You can switch between the sub-devices by either pressing the on Auro or by making the appropriate setting on the remote control. When you switch over with the buttons on Auro, you must set the RC4A to the corresponding remote control mode. There is no need for this adaptation of the Auro and the remote control when you switch with the remote control. Therefore, we recommend you to switch between the sub-devices with the remote control. When you select the operating mode with the buttons , the appropriate device is switched on unless it already was. You can operate the various Loewe units with the RC4A remote control (see page

41). Operation of the Auro with a DVD inserted is described in this chapter. Operation is performed with the remote control. When you insert a DVD in Auro (see pg. 19), you can follow the description below on your remote control.

Special features of DVD Audio

Discs in the DVD Audio format are recognizable by this symbol.

DVD Audio is a high-resolution multi-channel sound format and is therefore superior in sound quality to the Audio CD and MP3 formats.

Discs in DVD Audio format often contain stills. These stills are freely selectable on some DVD Audio discs. Therefore, the DVD menu bar (see pg. 15; call with button ) contains the ”Select picture” element in place of the ”Camera

position” element for DVD Audio: If the numbers in this menu bar element are shown in gray, you cannot select the stills.

Info

With the child lock you can prevent your children from playing unsuitable DVDs. A child lock is not available for other kinds of media (Audio-CD, MPEG, JPEG). With appropriately equipped DVDs, it is even possible to have certain chapters (scenes) replaced by alternative scenes which are suitable for children. Auro detects the chapter requiring protection (the appropriate scene). Depending on how you have set the child lock, the original scene is played or an alternative scene not requiring censorship. The censorship evaluation differs from country to country. This evaluation is therefore linked to the setting under ”Location of Set” (country).

Enter your PIN with the numeric buttons.

When you have entered the fourth digit, the text ”Please remember your PIN before continuing with OK!”. Take this advice. Press the button OK.

This sets your PIN.
