Setup
Please refer to the indications in the enclosed assembly instructions.
Do not set up the unit near strong heat sources or in direct sunlight.
When setting up in a cupboard or enclosed shelving: Leave at least 2.5 cm
of free space around the unit to allow air to circulate freely and to prevent heat accumulation. Do not cover the fan and opening on the back.
This device complies with the protection class 1. The power plug must be inserted in a socket with an earth wire connection.
Incorrect voltages can damage the unit. The unit may only be connected to an electricity supply with the voltage and frequency stated on the rating plate and using the enclosed mains cable.
During thunderstorms, disconnect the mains plug. A voltage surge caused by lightning conducted through the mains could damage the unit.
If the unit is not to be used for an extended period, the plug should also be disconnected from the mains.
The mains plug must be easy to reach to ensure that the unit can be discon­nected from the mains at any time.
Position the mains cable in such a way that it can not be damaged. The mains cable may not be bent or laid across sharp edges, walked on or exposed to any chemicals; the latter applies to the whole unit. A mains cable with damaged insulation can cause electric shocks and represents a fire hazard.
When you want to unplug from the mains, pull on the plug housing rather than on the cable. The cables in the mains plug could otherwise be dam­aged and could cause a short-circuit when being plugged in again.
Malfunctions can occur if there are other devices operating in the same frequency range (2.4 GHz) (see page 19).
Please also read and follow the safety advice on the following pages .

Connecting
Mediacenter in the integrated TV system
Use the supplied RJ-45 network cable to connect the Mediacenter to a network connection (e.g. switch or DSL router) with a link to the Internet. Use the supplied HDMI cable to connect the HDMI OUT socket of the Mediacenter to the HDMI IN socket on your TV set. If your TV set does not have an HDMI IN socket, use three video-capable cinch cables to connect the three COMPONENT OUT sockets of the Mediacenter to the COMPONENT IN sockets on your TV set. Otherwise, using a cinch cable you can connect the VIDEO OUT socket on the Mediacenter with the VIDEO IN socket on your TV set. But through this connection, termed as Composite Video, you only receive a restricted picture quality. As far as possible, you should use the earlier mentioned connection types. Using the supplied cinch cable (digital audio cable: socket in orange colour) con­nect the AUDIO DIGITAL IN socket of the Mediacenter with the cinch coupling
of the D-SUB/Cinch audio cable. (Loewe Art.No. 70529.001). Connect the AUDIO LINK socket of the TV set to the D-SUB coupling of the audio cable D-SUB/Cinch. You can connect a Loewe subwoofer available as an accessory at the other end of the D-SUB coupling. In the menu Sound components (page 26), set the option Sound via on the TV. With the antenna cable, connect the ANT FM socket to an antenna socket. Plug the mains cable into a 220-240V 50/60 Hz wall socket.

Switching On/Off
Please switch your Mediacenter after the first boot process
(it can take a few minutes) IN FUTURE ONLY switch on and off by pressing briefly of the on/off button on the remote control. Your Mediacenter remains ready for use more quickly in this way.
Switch on the Mediacenter with the Mains switch (page 7).
Adjust the remote control for Mediacenter operation by briefly pressing the AUDIO button.
Your Mediacenter switches on. If you have connected a Loewe TV set (from L271x) via HDMI, then this will switch on as well. Otherwise, switch your TV set on and set the respective AV programme slot.
To switch off the device, press the On/Off switch on your Mediacenter (page 6) or Assist (page 3) remote control.
To prevent loss of data, do not switch off until all write
operations (e.g. reading from USB memory or iPod, CD import) on the harddisks
While the Mediacenter starts up, the red LED indicator flashes (page 6).
The moment the Mediacenter becomes operational, the green LED indicator begins to glows constantly.
If available, a software update for the Mediacenter is auto-
matically started after Product registration (on this page) and setting up of Internet access (from page 19) after con­firmation (page 31).
Switch your Mediacenter off if you are to be away for an
extended period, first with the On/Off Button and then with the mains switch or pull out the mains plug. This will save energy and protect the environment.

Digital Link HD (HDMI CEC)
With the Digital Link HD, the Loewe TV sets (above chassis L271x) pass on the remote control signals over the HDMI link from the Loewe TV set to the compat­ible attachments, such as e.g. Mediacenter. Digital Link HD is useful if you want a concealed setup for the Mediacenter and the device is completely controlled via Loewe TV set.
First of all, adjust the HDMI CEC function for the Assist remote control as described on page 16 to Code 22 on the required device button (e.g. AUDIO).
Then carry out the allocation of the Digital Link HD function to the HDMI interface of the TV set used by pressing the button set above (e.g. AUDIO) for 5 sec.
A selection menu will appear.
Hint Here you select the device which you want to switch over your remote control to with the key. After confirming the selection with OK all remote control commands are passed on to the selected device via the TV set in future when you press this key.

Loewe recommends use of a wired network (Ethernet, Powerline) to ensure
a high stability and quality of the data link. Use a wireless connection only if there is no option. As a matter of principle, wireless connections can get disturbed due to external influences (e.g. microwave devices) and mostly provide a lower data transmission rate.

Fingerprints and scratches on the disc can impair play. Take care of the discs.
Inserting Discs
The Mediacenter has a so-called slot-in drive. It is located on the right side. Guide the disc into the disk drive until it is drawn in automatically. The cover side of the disk faces the front side.
The device display indicates reading while the disc detection is on. As soon as the disc detection is complete, a message is displayed via the detected media type.
Ejecting the Disc
The inserted disc can be ejected either via remote control from the menu with the Eject option or from the device by pressing the symbol If necessary, the disc can also be ejected mechanically, e.g. with the help of a paper clip through the emergency hole in the slot-in drive.
on the front panel.
DVD-R/RW, DVD+R/RW- and CD-R/RW discs written with a PC or a DVD or
CD Recorder can not be played back if the disc is damages or dirty or the lens of the player is covered with condensation.
If you write a disc with a PC, it may not be possible to play back the disc,
even though its format is compatible, possibly because of the settings in the application software used to burn it. (You can get further information on this from the software provider).
Depending upon the sound recording unit, data structure or the disc itself,
some of the media cannot be played back on this device.

Radio Operation
DVB radio
With your Mediacenter you can play back digital radio (DVB radio). For this, your Mediacenter must be connected to an appropriately equipped Loewe TV set, which
receives digital radio. The supplied cinch cable (digital audio cable: orange plug) is to be connected with the AUDIO DIGITAL IN socket of the Mediacenter and AUDIO DIGITAL OUT socket on your TV set. With this, the digital audio signal is transmitted to the Mediacenter (page 13).
Listening to DVB Radio
You can use digital radio in your Mediacenter as follows:
The station list for DVB radio is set up in the TV set. The radio stations from
the station list currently set in the TV set, e.g. favourites list, is played back in the Mediacenter. The TV set transmits the station names and numbers shown in the Mediacenter.
For setting up the station list or favourites list, please refer to the operating manual of your Loewe TV set in the chapter “Administering radio stations“.

Importing Music
Audio-CD Import
You can import your CD collection into the Mediacenter and then conveniently access it
First make the settings as described on page 33. If you want to import several audio CDs one after another, it is useful to set the option CD Insert to Import and Eject.
In the submenu CD Import - Encoder select the format to be used for music coding: MP3: Most frequently used format for loss-prone compression. In the submenu Bitrate you can set the bitrate for coding the music. Higher bitrates provide a higher audio quality and at the same time require larger storage space. 192kBit/s is good compromise. FLAC: Format for lossless compression. This format provides a good com­promise between the audio quality and storage space requirement. WAV: Format for lossless coding without compression. Due to best audio quality this format requires maximum storage space.
Insert the CD (page 32). If you have set the option CD Insert to Import and Eject, the import process starts automatically. Otherwise, start the
import manually.

Music Server
You can stream the music played which your Mediacenter has access to in other rooms. For this purpose, the Mediacenter has an integrated music server com­patible with the U-PnP-AV standard. Thus, you can stream the music from CDs, harddisk, USB memory, iPod/iPhone or radio via wired or wireless home network in up to 6 rooms.
Setting up Music Server
If possible, connect your Mediacenter to the wired network (Ethernet, Powerline), see page 19. Alternately, you can also use the wireless network. Principally however, the latter gives a qualitatively poorer connectivity due to external disturbances.
Switch on the Mediacenter, page 17
Make the network settings as described from page 19 onwards.
Import the music to the harddisk
nect external sources of sound (USB, iPod, etc.) or set up your radio recep­tion (page 44, page 47).

Client: Also referred to as network client; describes an end device such as your TV set that is connected to the network and gets data from a (media) server to make it accessible to the user.
D DHCP: Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP allows auto-
matic assignment of IP addresses with the aid of a DHCP server. DHCP-server: Network service which takes care of automatic assignment of IP
addresses to clients. DRM: Digital Rights Management. Processes to control copyright protected data.
To be used correctly, DRM protected contents require not only a DRM capable device but also the possession of a license issued by the provider (to be paid for).
E Ethernet: Cable linked data net technology for local networks (LANs). Also covers
standards for e.g. plug connectors and transfer speeds.
H Host: Computer that the server services are provided from, i.e. that makes data
available. Refer also to media server.
I ID3 tags: Additional information on MP3 files. Among other things, data related
to the artist, title, album and Covers can be saved here. This data is then processed by the PC using an ID3 tag editor.
IP Address: IP addresses (Internet Protocol Addresses) are used to identify devices in an Internet Protocol (IP) network. IP addresses are made up of four groups of numbers of three digits each.
L LAN: Abbreviation for Local Area Network. Mainly used as a name for networks
with cabling (Ethernet).
M MAC address: Hardware address of a network adapter, e.g. the network card in
the PC. It is permanently assigned by the manufacturer and is used to uniquely identify devices in networks.
Mbit/sec: Information about the transfer rate in networks in megabits, i.e. millions of characters per second. With WiFi the maximum speed is 11 (IEEE 802.11b) or 54 (IEEE 802.11g) Mbit/sec, in wired nets 10 Mbit/sec or 100 Mbit/sec (Fast Ethernet).
Media-server: Stands for the device which multimedia contents are stored on, but is also the name for the service provided by the device that makes this data available to the network.
MP3: Data format for compressed audio data.
N NAS: Abbreviation for Network Attached Storage. The term describes a hard disk
which is independently linked to the network (i.e. without a PC).
R Router: Device for connecting up several networks, e.g. home network and
Internet.
S Switch: Device for connecting several computers to a network.
U UPnP AV: Abbreviation for Universal Plug and Play - Audio/Video. Is used to control
network devices from all manufacturers. Has become a wide spread standard for home networking.
USB: Universal Serial Bus. Serial bus system for connecting external devices (USB card reader, USB stick).
W WEP: Abbreviation for Wired Equivalent Privacy. Former standard process in the
WiFi encryption, now outdated. WiFi: Abbreviation for Wireless Local Area Network. Also abbreviated as wireless
network. WMA: Abbreviation for Windows Media Audio, Microsoft own audio data format.
As with MP3 files, the content is compressed here as well. WPA: Abbreviation for Wi-Fi Protected Access. Replaced WEP as standard encryp-
tion for wireless networks.
Wired network: see LAN. Wireless network: see WiFi.
