M200 Loewe

With the Re:connect M200
Loewe, Revox offers an inter­face, for the intelligent c ontrol of
the most widely used Loewe
televisions*.

The correct picture input is auto­maticall y selec ted at the television
with the help of the int erface. Ad­ditionall y, the next or previous TV
programme can be selected for
the television, through the M218
wall-mounted keypad.

*Please observe the system requirements

New Multiroom Planer V2.00

The new Multiroom Planner
doesn't just calculate the correct
address assignment for the
M219 Side room amplifiers and
M217 Wall-mounted displays, it
also calculates the slot ad­dresses for the M200 series
Re:control products in the side
room. Take advantage of the
possibility to be able to deter­mine in advance, all M200,
M217 and M219 addresse s sim­ply and quickl y and at the same
time save the information as
system documentation. You will
find more information about ad­dressing the M200 in the side
room, on Page 10 of this manual.
You can download the new Mul­tiroom Planner V2.00 free-of­charge from the download area
of the Revox Homepage, under
www.revox.com.

New features from software V2.00

From software versio n 2.00, the
M200 can be connected not onl y
to an M51 but also to the M219
Side room amplifier.

As a result, a Loewe television
can also be controlled from an
side room, using the M2 19 Side
room amplifier. The option of
connecting an M200 interf ace to
an M219 exists with the firs t four
Side room amplifiers for each
zone. As a result, a total of 16
Side room amplifiers can be
connected with an M200 inter­face in a Revox Multiroom sys­tem with 4 different zones.

In the same way as with the
setup of an M51, you define
which video input at the Loewe
TV is activated by which M219
audio source, through t he M203
Setup module. The local inputs
Local 1 – 3 at the M 219 can be
used for the control, as well as
the audio sources of the Multi­room Central unit.

Important advice:
If you want to use the soft­ware version 2.00, the com­plete Revox system must be
updated to the level 2.00, or
higher.

The M200 Mk2 offers the option
of selecting specific stations
using the skip keys (<>) on an
M218 wall-mounted keypad,
once the TV tuner has been
selected.
This comfort function requires
two settings:

1/2 Audio IN assignment

M51 in combination with M200

The sound input, e.g. TV, Aux1,
Optical, etc., of the remote de­vice must be assigned to one of
the following Remote buttons in
the Remote menu:

• Local

• Local 1

• Local 2

• Local 3

Assignment example

M219 in combination with M200

There is no need to make an
assignment through the Remote
menu with an M219, because its
local audio inputs (Local 1-3) are
always assigned to the IR com­mands Local, Local 1, Local 2
and Local 3. Continue w ith point

Note: Monitor-only devices

This comfort function is only
available with TV models with an
integrated TV tuner. It cannot be
selected in case of monitor-only
devices without a TV tuner.

2/2 TV Tuner assignment

M200 Setup #5 - Input

The second assignment affects
Setup #5 in the M200. Here, the
physical audio source of the TV
sound that was assigned to a
Local Remote button in the first
step, is assigned to the televi­sion's TV Tuner.

In the example above, the audio
source TV calls the television
tuner. As well as the Multiroom
central unit sources, a side room
amplifier also offers its own local
Inputs 1-3 for the TV Tuner as­signment.

Socket: RS232
Setup: # 4 – from page 11

M219: Yes þ
The M200 Interface can be used

with other (TV) devices, which
also have a serial interface.

This enables the integration of a
large number of Loewe televi­sions into the Revox World.
Which models are supported
and how the integration is
achieved, is described starting
from page 11.

The M200 Interface is also suit­able as an interface to domestic
facility management systems
such as AMX or Crestron,
which have a special Revox
protocol.

Even a Windows PC with the
M230 control program can be
connected to the serial interface
on the M200

Serial cables with a maximum
length of 10 metres can be
used.

M200 Trigger input

Socket: INPUT A B RS232
Setup: # 4 – from page 6

M219: No o
Using INPUT A and INPUT B,

you can trigger specific events at
the M51. This is done by apply­ing a voltage between 5 and 24
volts (DC) to the corresponding
input. There are various options
that can be carried out when the
input is supplied with voltage.

This function is not available in
the side room through the M219.

M200 Relay output

Socket: Relay A B
Setup: # 2 – from page 8

M219: Yes, with Link Booster þ
The two changeover relays can

be operated in different modes,
independently of each other.

Note:
In active operation, the relays
need 18-24 VDC. Howev e r w hen
connected to an M219 Side ro om
amplifier or when the M51 is in
standby mode, only 12 VDC is
available. This mean s that in
these cases, the relays do not
react to a command.

Solution:

Through the deployment of the
M-Link Booster, the power is
held at a permanent 18 VDC
and the relays work reliably in
every operational state – see
connection diagrams on pages
14-16.

Please note
The switching voltage may
not exceed 42 volts.

Switching voltage: 0- 42 Volt*
Max. switching current: 4-8 A*

Socket: Output
Setup: without configuration
M219: No o

Using the OUTPUT, you can
control the output voltage with
the remote control M208, giving
a variable voltage between 0
and 10 volts. This voltage ramp
could be used, for example, to
set the dimmer control of a light­ing system to a desired level.

Standard electronic dimmers
with a controller input offer the
option of adjusting the bright­ness between 0 and 100%.

Example M200 with M51:

A SAT receiver can convenie ntly
be integrated through the auto­matic selection of the video input
on the TV by the M51. Its picture
output is connected, for example,
to the Input-2 on the Loewe TV,
while the audio signal is con­nected to the Optical digital input
on the M51.

Please also refer to the picture on
the next page.

If you now select the sourc e SAT
(Optical) at the M51 , the Loewe
TV automatically transmits the
SAT receiver picture over the

Input-2 and the sound from the

SAT receiver is transmitted over
the M51.

The convenient integration can
of course also be used for the
M51’s integrated DVD player.

Unknown audio sources

"Sources unknown" can still be
present during the initial con­figuration, caused by the swap
or the de-installation of modules.

1. Selecting audio source

To start with, select the M51 /
M219 audio source that later
should activate a particular
video input on the Loewe televi­sion/ HDMI Switcher, using the
Source

± softkey.

Following switch-on, it can take
a few seconds until the M200
interface has identified all the
M51 / M219 sources and until
the Source ”Unknown" message
disappears.

Any remaining unknow n source s
should be deleted by pressing
the Disable softkey twice and
then pressing the Delete soft­key.

If too many unknown sources
are present, we recommend
completely resetting the M200
interface by pressing the Dis-
able softkey for several sec­onds, until Page #1 automati­cally appears

.

Using the Source+ and Source-
softkeys, you can step forwards
and backwards respectively,
through a loop of audio inputs,
which are currently available on
the M51 / M219.

If the name of an audio source
has been changed, the modified
name also appears in the list.

An “Unknown” Source must be
deleted manually . You will fin d
more information about this in the
previous section.

Intelligent Audio Sources

The M200 differentiates be­tween 3 type of audio sources:

1. Permanent sources

2. Semi-intelligent sources

3. Intelligent sources

1. Permanent sources

In the case of permanent audio
sources, including for example
the Tuner source, the television
is switched on immediately with
the corresponding video input
that was assigned to it on Setup
page #5. Manual switch-on or
switch-off through the remote
control is not possible.

2. Semi-intelligent sources

In the case of semi-intelligent
sources, you can define through
the remote control, whether the
television should be switched on
with the previously defined video
input or not. Such sources have
respectively TV ON and TV OFF
function keys in the remote con­trol menu. The semi-intelligent
sources, such as the M37 Music
Server, store the last selected
state.
If, for example, the video input
from the Server was activated at
the television using the remote
control, the television is auto­matically activated next time this
source is selected.

3. Intelligent sources

In the case of intelligent
sources, it is a question of
sources, which, dependant on
setting or medium, can transmit
a video signal to accompany the
audio signal. An example of an
intelligent source is the DVD/CD
M51 source. If there is a music
CD on the M51 drive, the televi­sion is not switched on because
in this case, no video is re­quired. If, on the other hand, a
DVD is identified, the television
is switched on.

device has, are actually dis­played.

Assignment example

This example shows you that, as
well as the currently displayed
audio source (DVD), a further
audio source has also been
assigned to this video input
(here AV2). Using the Source
softkeys, you can search for the
audio source that also calls this
video input.

Several audio sources are al­ways required if, for example,
the M300/M301 Video switch is
used, which bundles several
video sources together to one
video input on the television.

Changing the Loewe IR code at the tele vision

In order to avoid IR conflicts between the Loewe television and the
Revox system, the system address at the Loewe television and the
remote control must be changed. The reason for this is as follows:
Both Revox and Loewe use an RC5 code with the system address 00
for the television. For this reason, both systems will react to some of
each other’s commands. This IR conflict can be solved if the system
address 02 is selected for the Loewe television, instead of the 00.
The system address is changed in the following way:

At the Loewe television (board operating element):

ΠPress the M button briefly

• Press the - button briefly

Then, at the Loewe Assist 1 remote control:

Ž press the MENU button within 1 second

Now, the service menu should be visible. Select the sub-menu “Other
adjustments” from this menu. Select the menu “RC subsystem” from
the “Other adjustments” menu. The factory setting for the “RC
subsystem” menu is to set the system address to 00. Now set this to

02.
The Loewe TV now reacts to the system address 02 as well as to the
originally set 00.

address 02. This is done as follows:

Hold the Mute button
pressed, until the red LED under the mute button
starts to flash, after about 3 seconds.
The IR code is now set to the system address 02.
If the system address 02 is already used for another
device, the address 01 or 08 can be used instead (see
light-coloured marking).
In such a case, the system address of the Loewe
television must also be set to 01 or 08 accordingly.
Address 00 is the factory setting.
