Welcome

Important

L'interface utilisateur a été masteurisé pour le nouveau logiciel MediaNetwork et de nouvelles fonctions ont été intégrées. Cette notice d'utilisation remplace le chapitre MediaNetwork complet de la notice de votre Référence 52. If this new MediaNetwork software has not yet been installed in your Reference 52, you can do this very simply using the Internet

update directly on the TV set. You can find more information on page 9.

About MediaNetwork

Your Loewe TV set is equipped with MediaNetwork. This enables you

english

to play multimedia contents (photos, music files, videos), which are provided by a media server in your home network (see also page 28). MediaNetwork 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.

When the internet connection is correctly set up, it is also possible to receive Internet Radio directly via the TV set (without media server) (see from page 16).

You can connect your TV set either wired (Ethernet, PowerLine) or also via

a wireless radio connection (WLAN) to your home network. The TV set has wireless connections via an internal WLAN antenna. You will find connection examples on page 5 on the right.

MediaNetwork supports UPnP AV standard.

You will find more detailed information in the technical data on page 28

and in the glossary from page 29.

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

in the connection examples on page 5) please contact the administrator

of your network and/ or the specialist retailer.

MediaNetwork and Internet

For the options Internet Radio, Internet Video, You Tube and AUPEO!, your

TV set must have an active internet connection with gateway connection

and DNS server (see page 7 and Glossary page 29). For these options, we recommend registering your TV set at our website at http://www.loewe-uk.com (under Support the steps in the registration process.

To register, you will need to have the MAC address of your TV set to

hand. You can find this in your TV’s index under Integrated features – MediaNetwork MAC address.
