Search for and store the station of the video recorder (if no Euro-AV 
cable is available)
Switch on the test station on the VCR or insert a recorded tape and start play-
back. In some video recorders the station must be switched on by activating the 
modulator.
Then call the AV selection on the TV set with 0 AV. Select the menu item 
VIDEO in the AV selection and call using OK.
To prevent normal TV stations being found in the search, pull out the antenna 
plug from the antenna input of the VCR temporarily (the cable to the antenna 
system).
If you cannot see the test station or playback from the cassette, the VCR is 
transmitting on a different channel. You then have to search for the station or 
set it manually.
1.  Call the TV menu with the MENU button.
2.  Select the Settings menu item with .
3.  Select the line below using  and use  to select Stations.
4.  Select the line below using and select Manual adjustment using  
and call this menu using OK.
5.  Enter channel E30 under the Channel menu item (Antenna/cable (ana-
logue), select in this menu above if necessary).
6.  Start search with the blue coloured key.
7.  When the station has been found, change the name if needed, confi rm with 
OK and save with the red coloured key.
8.  A list of the stored stations is displayed.
9.  Select 0 (VIDEO) here and overwrite this station storage location using the 
red coloured key.
10. Hide the menu again using the END button.
Plug the antenna plug back in. 
If you now get interference because a TV station is transmitting on the same 
channel as the VCR station, you have to change the transmitting station on the 
VCR and search for the VCR station on the TV again.Login and connect equipment
You have logged in and connected all connected equipment in the initial start-
up. If you want to connect other equipment or disconnect equipment, call the 
connection wizard.
Call up the TV menu
Select Connections
Select the submenu line
Select New devices/modifi cations and ...
Call with OK.
State what equipment you want to connect. State whether a piece of audio 
equipment is to be connected (more details as of page 35). The connection wiz-
ard then shows you which sockets you should connect this equipment to. Then 
connect the equipment to these sockets according to the connection diagram.
Connecting video/DVD recorders
In addition to the connection via the Euro-AV sockets, you also have to connect 
the antenna (only for terrestrial antenna or cable systems) through the VCR/DVD 
recorder to the TV set. The antenna signal is then available to the video/DVD 
recorder and the TV set.

Timer recording with video or DVD recorder
You can programme timer recordings on the TV set. Programming can be done 
with the EPG programme guide (not with DVB-T in GB), teletext or manually. 
Call the Timer list menu with the 
 button and press the red coloured 
key for the Recording wizard. Select whether you want to programme the 
recording via EPG, teletext or manually. You also have the option to programme 
recordings directly from the EPG programme guide or teletext.
Note: Copy-protected programmes are not output to the Euro-AV sockets for 
legal reasons.
When you have connected the Euro-AV socket to a recorder which has Digital 
Link Plus or a comparable system from a different manufacturer, the timer data 
of analogue terrestrial stations are transmitted from the TV to the recorder. The 
recording quality SQ or EQ is transmitted for DVD recorders, in additional to 
the station, date and time. The recording is then controlled by the recorder and 
the recorder tuner is used for reception of the station. The recording data are 
not saved in the timer list of the TV set. You will only fi nd the timer data in the 
recorder.
If you want to record from digital stations, the TV tuner is used and the recorder 
is controlled by the TV set. Then the station is locked during the timer recording.
If you have connected a Loewe video recorder with Digital Link to the Euro-AV 
socket (without Digital Link Plus) and you are using the timer programming of 
the TV, the TV receiver is always used, for terrestrial stations as well. The TV 
controls the recording. 
You have to set the recorder to the AV input (signal source) to which the TV set 
is connected.
Then the station on the TV set is locked during the timer recording.
Digital Link must be switched on on the recorder. Read the operating 
instructions of your Loewe recorder for more information.
Use only Euro-AV cables, which are completely wired, otherwise Digital Link/
Digital Link Plus will not work.
Another advantage of Digital Link is that you can install the recorder in a con-
cealed place (e.g. in a rack). You can control the recorder with the TV set.
If you have a Loewe recorder with both systems, you can use all the advantages. 
The advantages of Digital Link Plus are used for the timer recording; the advan-
tages of Digital Link for concealed installation of the recorder.
Video playback
There are several ways to see the picture and hear the sound of the VCR, DVD 
player/recorder or camcorder on your TV:
1.  You can usually use the Euro-AV sockets on the TV set and on the VCR. For 
camcorders or digital cameras, use the AVS sockets on the right of the TV 
set. DVD players/recorders and SetTopBoxes may have HDMI or component 
sockets for video and audio transmission. In this case, use the corresponding 
sockets on the TV set. 
  When playing back from a video recorder using Euro-AV socket and Digital 
Link Plus (or a comparable system from another manufacturer), the picture 
from the VCR is shown at the current channel location.
  When playing back from another VCR, camcorder or digital camera, use 
the AV selection 
AV or the station list (OK) to select the AV socket/the 
device to which the VCR is connected.
  Video recorders transmit a switching voltage during playback, which the 
TV can evaluate (can be activated in the connection wizard or in the TV 
menu – Connections – Miscellaneous – Allow switching voltage - set to 
yes). Then the picture of the video recorder is shown during playback at 
the current station location.
2.  You can use the antenna connection between the VCR and the TV without a 
Euro-AV socket. The sound is only transmitted in mono. Select the fi rst menu 
item, e.g. VIDEO, in the AV selection.
Calling AV inputs in the AV selection:
Call AV selection
Select AV device/socket (or VIDEO if the video recorder has 
been connected only via the antenna socket) and use ...
to call.
Now you will see the playback from the connected AV device.
Calling AV input via the station list
Call the station list with the OK button in TV mode.
In the numeric and alphabetical sorting, you will always fi nd the AV sockets at 
the top of the list.

Audio output AUDIO DIGITAL OUT
The digital audio signal is applied at the AUDIO DIGITAL OUT socket of the TV. 
For example, you can connect an external digital audio amplifi er or the Loewe 
Auro system here.
An analogue audio signal from the TV set or another sound source which is 
received at one of the Euro-AV sockets of the TV set is converted into a digital 
signal (PCM) and output at the AUDIO DIGITAL OUT socket. Conversion from 
external analogue AV sources to PCM is not possible if the TV’s loudspeakers are 
used as a centre channel. In this case, connect your audio amplifi er additionally 
to the TV (AUDIO OUT L/R) with a cinch cable and switch the audio amplifi er to 
analogue audio input.
 
The digital TV sound or the digital sound of a connected auxiliary device is only 
audible via an external digital audio amplifi er (e.g. Loewe Auro system).
Assignment of digital audio inputs and 
outputs
Audio input AUDIO DIGITAL IN
The TV set has a coaxial digital audio input AUDIO DIGITAL IN and a coaxial 
digital audio output AUDIO DIGITAL OUT. If you are using an external digital 
surround amplifi er for sound reproduction, you have to feed digital audio 
signals to the TV, e.g. from the DVD player. 
Connect the output socket of the DVD player (DIG OUT) to the TV‘s AUDIO 
DIGITAL IN socket with a cinch cable.
In the connection wizard, specify that audio transmission is to be digital. Specify 
that the digital sound is to be assigned for example to the Euro-AV socket 2 to 
feed the digital sound to the digital audio output of the TV set and via this to 
the external audio amplifi er. Further information about this can be found on 
page 36.

HDMI (DVI) connection
The HDMI connection (High Defi nition Multimedia Interface) 
allows digital picture and sound transmission via a connecting 
cable, e.g. from Loewe DVD Recorder Centros 2102/2172 HD. 
The digital picture and sound data are transmitted without data 
compression and therefore lose none of their quality. In the equipment con-
nected, no analogue/digital conversion is necessary, which might also have lead 
to losses in quality.
DVI signals can be also be reproduced by the HDMI connection using a 
DVI/HDMI adapter cable. This is possible because HDMI is based on DVI and is 
downwardly compatible. That means that the digital video signals are transmit-
ted via HDMI - no audio signals are transmitted, though. In addition, both use 
the same copy protection method HDCP.
Connect the set with an HDMI connection using an HDMI cable (type A, 19-pin) 
to the HDMI socket of the TV set. Log in the HDMI connection in the connection 
wizard (TV menu - Connections - New devices/modifi cations).
Select the HDMI connection in the AV selection.
Call AV selection
Select HDMI/DVI socket and use ...
to call.
Start playback on the device connected with HDMI connection.
The set automatically recognises and sets the best possible format for the video.
If transmission occurs via a DVI/HDMI adapter cable, then you can feed in the 
appropriate analogue audio via the audio input sockets AUDIO IN L/R on the TV 
set. The sound is reproduced via the TV speakers.
If you have connected a digital external audio amplifi er, you can select the 
digital audio signal in the connection wizard (TV menu - Connections - New 
devices/modifi cations) and assign it to the HDMI/DVI socket. You can make 
the other settings for the audio amplifi er as described for digital amplifi ers on 
page 36. The digital audio signal of the DVI audio source is fed in at the AUDIO 
DIGITAL IN socket on the TV. Feed the digital audio signal from the TV AUDIO 
DIGITAL OUT to the external amplifi er.
