Thank you
for choosing a Loewe product. We are happy to welcome you as our customer.
At Loewe we combine the highest standards of technology, design and user friendli-
ness. This is equally true of TV, DVD, video, audio and accessories. Neither technol-
ogy nor design is an end in itself, but both are intended to provide our customers
with the best possible audio and visual experience. Our design is not influenced
by short-term, fashionable trends. You have, after all, purchased a high-quality
piece of equipment which you do not want to tire of tomorrow or the day after.

Operating requirements
To make optimum use of Loewe Mediacenter, the following prerequisites must
be satisfied:
• Connection to a wired(Ethernet, Powerline) or wireless (WiFi) home network,
router with Internet access.
• Loewe TV set with HDMI input (from chassis L271x onwards) and current
TV/DVB software.
Optional Expansions
• Loewe Multiroom Receiver.
• Loewe remote control of type Loewe Assist Media.
• Loewe TV set with HDMI input (from Mainframe L271x)
• Loewe Audio System
• Floor Stand Individual Mediacenter, Art.No. 68281B00
• Table Stand Individual Mediacenter, Art.No. 68280B00
Setup
• Please refer to the indications in the enclosed assembly instructions.
• Do not set up the unit near strong heat sources or in direct sunlight.
• When setting up in a cupboard or enclosed shelving: Leave at least 2.5 cm
of free space around the unit to allow air to circulate freely and to prevent
heat accumulation. Do not cover the fan and opening on the back.
• This device complies with the protection class 1. The power plug must be
inserted in a socket with an earth wire connection.
• Incorrect voltages can damage the unit. The unit may only be connected
to an electricity supply with the voltage and frequency stated on the rating
plate and using the enclosed mains cable.
• During thunderstorms, disconnect the mains plug. A voltage surge caused
by lightning conducted through the mains could damage the unit.
• If the unit is not to be used for an extended period, the plug should also be
disconnected from the mains.
• The mains plug must be easy to reach to ensure that the unit can be discon-
nected from the mains at any time.
• Position the mains cable in such a way that it can not be damaged. The
mains cable may not be bent or laid across sharp edges, walked on or
exposed to any chemicals; the latter applies to the whole unit. A mains
cable with damaged insulation can cause electric shocks and represents a
fire hazard.
• When you want to unplug from the mains, pull on the plug housing rather
than on the cable. The cables in the mains plug could otherwise be dam-
aged and could cause a short-circuit when being plugged in again.
• Malfunctions can occur if there are other devices operating in the same
frequency range (2.4 GHz) (see page 19).
Please also read and follow the safety advice on the following pages.

For your Safety
For your safety, and to avoid unnecessary damage to your unit, please read
and follow the safety advice below.
Please keep the safety information in a safe place.
Use for the intended purpose and ambient conditions
This unit is intended exclusively for wireless transmission and play of audio signals.
It is designed for living or office rooms and may not be used in rooms with a high
level of humidity (e.g. bathroom, sauna) or a high dust concentration
(e.g. workshops).
The terms of the warranty only cover the intended use of the unit.
If the unit is used outdoors, make sure that it is protected from moisture (rain,
drips, spray or dew).
High concentrations of moisture and dust lead to creepage current in the unit
which can make it dangerous if a live wire is touched or it may cause a fire.
If you have moved the unit out of the cold into a warm environment, leave it
switched off for about an hour to avoid the formation of condensation.
Always switch off your system (Individual Mediacenter, TV and any other com-
ponents which may be connected) before connecting or disconnecting other de-
vices or speakers.
Protect your device from:
• Water, dampness, dripping or sprayed water, steam.
• Knocks and mechanical stress
• Magnetic and electric fields
• Cold, heat, direct sunlight and high temperature fluctuations
• Dust
• Covers that inhibit ventilation
• Interference with the internal workings of the unit
Do not place any burning candles or anything filled with a liquid (such as vases)
on the unit.
The ventilation slits on the back of the unit must not be covered with magazines
or rugs. Pay attention for example to curtains etc.
This device is network-enabled. Please follow the instructions regarding the con-
necting options on pages 13-15 and 18.
Volume
Loud music can cause hearing damage. Avoid extreme volumes especially over
extended periods of time and when using headphones.
IMPORTANT: TO AVOID RISK OF ELECTRIC SHOCK, DO NOT RE-
MOVE THE COVER (AND THE BACK OF THE UNIT). THERE ARE NO
PARTS INSIDE THE UNIT THAT CAN BE REPAIRED BY THE USER.
REPAIRS SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY A LOEWE DEALER.
Use only Original accessories and spare parts from Loewe.
Supervision

to play in the immediate vicinity of the unit/TV set. Do not operate the Media-
center unattended. If the unit is not to be used for an extended period, the plug

or scouring cleaning agents).
