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.

AUPEO! Internet Radio

What is AUPEO! ? AUPEO! allows you to create a personal music programme, enjoy channels programmed by music experts according to genre and receive channel recommendations fitting to your mood.

AUPEO! technology is based on an algorithm from the Frauenhofer Institute, creators of the MP3. It analyses the “DNA” of the songs, e.g. breaks them up into segments and places them in a coordinate system according to specific characteristics. The more similar the songs are to each other, the closer they are to each other in the system – they become

“neighbours”. As soon as an artist or genre is selected, AUPEO! creates a

english

playlist, adding the neighbouring songs. AUPEO! offers this service in Basic and Premium. The basic programme is

available any time, free of charge. The exclusive premium package can be had for a monthly fee starting from 4.95 USD (as of November 2009). It includes all components of the basic package as well as many benefits such as higher streaming quality, it is ad-free and gives you access to genre-specific channels that are programmed by music experts, so-called AUPEO! stations. The premium programme can be conveniently booked on Loewe website's Support portal.

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.

english

Your TV set does not have an IP address assigned to it despite required type of IP assignment Automatic (DHCP).

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 28).

a) No DHCP server is working on your

network.

b) With an encrypted wireless connection,

you have entered the key incorrectly.

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 25). Example: ping.exe 192.168.1.123 If the data packages are not transferred, then

there is a problem with the network:

a4) With a wired connection:

Check the arrangement of the cables.

a5) With a wireless connection:

Check your wireless router.

a6) 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.

a) Set up a DHCP server. Assign a fixed IP address for the TV set.

b) Select Change network in the MediaNetwork-

Menu. Rescan for routers using the red coloured buttons. Then correctly enter the WLAN key for your router.

Despite video or music file being played back, no sound can be heard.

- 26

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 the remote control for longer.

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.

Troubleshooting

Problem Possible cause Remedy

Although the file is visible on the media server, it is not shown in MediaNetwork.

A media file that is displayed can not be played back.

Characters contained in the WLAN key are not shown on the input screen (page 6).

When searching for wireless routers, no device is found.

A Windows DRM-protected music file (see page 28) cannot be played.

If with wireless operation there should be any interference such as disruptions during playback or slow reactions by devices to commands, you could try the following:

- Keep at least three metres distance from microwave ovens, bluetooth devices, mobile telephones and Wi-Fi compatible devices such as printers and PDAs.

- Change the active channel on the WLAN router.

The file is not being made available by your

media server.

The format of the file is not supported (see

also limitations in section File formats supported on page 28).

The device only supports the characters shown (ASCII standard).

The router is not ready for wireless

communication.

a) The licence to play purchased with the

music file is missing.

b) You are using the wrong media server.

Change your media server. Read up about this in the section Media server software on page 28.

No remedy.

Change the WLAN key of the router.

Check your wireless router.

Try to make the connection again a few

minutes later.

a) Try to play the music file on the PC using the

Windows Media Player 11. If this does not work either, there is a problem with the licence.

b) Use the Windows Media Player 11 as a

media server.

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.

Glossary

Administrator: Person who administers the network, i.e. takes care of

setting up and maintaining all components belonging to the network.

AVI: Abbreviation for Audio Video Interleave, a video container file format developed by Microsoft. A single AVI video file can contain several audio, video and text data streams (thus the name container format).

BMP: Abbreviation for Bitmap, a grid graphics format designed for

Microsoft Windows and OS/2 that is wide spread and therefore supported by almost every popular graphics software package without any problems.

Channel (WLAN): The channel is a certain part of the WLAN frequency

band. Devices that want to communicate with each other have to use the same WLAN channel. In Europe the WLAN frequency band is currently divided into 13 channels.

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.

DHCP: Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP

allows automatic 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.

DivX: Video Codec which allows even large files to be relatively highly compressed in their file size without having to tolerate important quality losses.

DNS: Abbreviation of Domain Name System. Readable names (e.g. www.loewe-int.de) are assigned to numerical IP addresses. DNS servers are responsible for the resolution of readable addresses into the corresponding IP addresses.

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).

Ethernet: Cable linked data net technology for local networks (LANs). Also
