Conditional Access module (CA module)
In order to be able to receive digital stations, a Conditional Access module 
(CA module) and a Smart Card must be inserted in the CI slot of your TV 
set (see pages 5 to 7).
The CA module and the Smart Card are not part of the TV set's scope of 
delivery. They are usually available from your dealer. Loewe provides no 
guarantee for the functioning of the CA module.
The TV set must first recognise and set up the CA module during initial 
operation. Therefore, it can take up to a minute until decoding starts 
during initial operation.
Inserting the smart card into the CA module
Push the Smart Card into the CA module as far as it goes so that the side 
with the gold coloured contact chip is facing the side of the CA module 
marked with the provider's logo. Note the direction of the arrow printed 
on the Smart Card.
Inserting the CA module in the CI slot
➠ Switch off the TV set's power switch.
Open the cover on the rear of the set.
Insert the CA module carefully into the CI slot with the 
contact side first.
If you are standing in front of the TV set (display) then 
the logo on the CA module must be pointing to the rear. 
Do not use force. Make sure the module is not twisted 
in the process.
The eject button protrudes slightly when the CA module 
is inserted correctly.Searching for encrypted stations
➠  The search wizard must only be started when the 
setting possibility no has been selected for the search 
for coded stations in first-time start-up or no CA

Parental lock
You can select and set various security options to prevent unauthorised use 
of the TV set and to protect your children from unsuitable programmes.
Defining the access code (PIN)
Call TV menu.
 Select Settings,
 go to the menu line below.
 Select Parental lock,
 go to the menu line below.
   Define a four digit access code (PIN) the first time 
you open it. The numbers appear in plain text. Note 
the access code (PIN) well. 
 OK  Confirm the access code (PIN). 
The Parental lock menu is opened.
The four-digit access code (PIN) must be entered when 
the parental lock is opened in future. It appears encrypted 
(****) when entering for security reasons.Explanations of setting possibilities in the Parental lock menu:
The TV set is locked immediately the menu is exited. All 
programmes can then only be watched after entering the 
access code. The lock can be activated both Immediately 
and for a Daily defined period.
The lock remains active until it is switched off in the menu.
You can lock / unlock individual or all of the stations in 
the station list specifically. 
The lock remains active until it is switched off in the menu.
Some DVB stations also broadcast an age classification. If the 
age set here is below the broadcast age limit, the programme 
can only be watched after entering the access code.
You can change your access code at any time. Enter the 
new access code in place of the old one.
All set parental locks (locked stations, age-dependent 
locks, locked films in the DR archive) are cancelled. The 
current secret code is deleted. When the parental lock is 
reactivated all the previous parental locks are set again 
automatically.
All currently set parental locks are finally cancelled. The 
secret code is deleted.
Code number
The code number cancels all entered PINs. It can be used for example if 
you have forgotten your PIN. You will find a note about the code number 
on page 81. Remove this from the manual and keep it in a safe place.
Protection of minors for CI Plus programmes
Youth-protected broadcasts of programme providers with CI Plus 
encoding possibly require you to enter the secret number (PIN) of the 
CA module.
We recommend selecting the secret number of the TV set according to 
the secret number of the CA module, since the secret number of the CA 
module cannot be changed. This means that you must only remember 
one secret number.Lock all

Operating additional equipment
Devices to the connections AV1/AV2/AVS
Accessory equipment such as DVD players, video and DVD recorders 
etc. can be connected to the TV set at the Euro-AV sockets AV1 and AV2 
(see pages 5 to 7).
The AV input AVS (see pages 5 to 7) offers the possibility of connecting 
a digital camera or a camcorder for example.
➠  All devices at the AV inputs must be registered in in the connection 
wizard (see page 46 onwards).
The connection designations vary according to the logged in device. The 
AV selection then contains, for example, DVD in place of AV1 or CAM 
in place of AVS.
The Euro-AV sockets can process different signal types. Which signal type 
your accessory device provides can be found in the operating manual of 
the appropriate device.
Owing to the large number of AV devices available on the market, we can 
only mention a few examples for the connection of accessory equipment 
to the AV sockets here. 
The following description of the connected equipment to the connections 
AV1/2/S refers to the device types logged into the connection wizard 
from page 46 onwards.
If the sound of a device connected to an AV socket is to be transmit-
ted digitally, a cinch cable must be plugged between the coaxial digital 
output of the accessory equipment and the AUDIO DIGITAL IN socket of 
the TV set. In addition the digital audio input must be assigned to the 
corresponding AV socket in the connection wizard (see page 47).
The assignment of the digital audio input may also take place outside 
the connection wizard. With TV menu  Connections  Miscellaneous  
Assign digital audio input, the digital audio input can be assigned to the 
appropriate AV socket, see page 56.Connecting a DVD player to the TV set
➠  DVD player is registered with the connection wizard.
Switch off all equipment before connecting.
Connect the Euro-AV output of the DVD player to the 
AV1 socket of the TV set.

 yes was selected in the connection wizard, the TV set switches auto-
matically to the appropriate AV input after switching on the AV device
The AV input can also be called manually, however.

Some camcorders only supply an FBAS signal instead of 
an S-VHS signal at the AV output. In this case use the AVS 
video input (yellow).
If your camcorder has an HDMI output you can also con-
nect the device to the HDMI 3 socket on the side (see 
connections on pages 5 to 7). In this case the camera 
does not have to be logged into the connection wizard.

Devices to the HDMI (DVI) connections
The HDMI connections (High Definition Multimedia Interface) allow the 
transmission of digital video and audio signals from a player, e.g. DVD 
player, DVD recorder, Blu-ray player, game console or Set-Top-Box via a 
single cable.
The digital video and audio data are transmitted without data compres-
sion digitally and therefore lose none of their quality. 
A maximum of five devices can be connected in cascade to every HDMI 
socket. The devices are arranged in the AV menu and in the station list 
below the appropriate HDMI socket. If the respective device sends its own 
device name, this appears in place of the connection name.
 Your TV set shows 24p films (see glossary on page 75) which are output 
by a player connected via HDMI, e.g. Loewe BluTech Vision, automatically 
in the original 24p format. 
Film quality improvement (DMM) must be set to on (see page 24).
Digital video signals from a DVI player can be also be reproduced by the 
HDMI connection using a DVI/HDMI adapter cable. The sound must be 
piped in additionally. 
HDMI and DVI both use the same copy protection method HDCP.
Connecting the device
➠  It is not necessary to register HDMI devices with the 
connection wizard.
Switch off all equipment before connecting.
Connect the device by an HDMI cable (type A, 19-wire) 
to one of the three HDMI/DVI sockets of the TV set.
If a DVI/HDMI adapter cable is used, the corresponding 
sound can be piped through the AUDIO IN1 (analogue) 
or AUDIO DIGITAL IN (digital) socket on the TV set (see 
also page 56).Playback from the device
Call AV selection.
Select HDMI/DVI socket.
   With Digital Link HD-capable devices the device 
name may possibly appear in place of the connection 
name.
 OK Switch over.
Start playback on the connected HDMI device. The best 
possible format for the picture is detected and set auto-
matically.
