Welcome
About MediaNetwork
Your Loewe TV set is equipped with the Network Mediaplayer. This
enables you to play multimedia contents (photos, music files, videos),
which are provided by a media server in your home network (see also
page 17). The Network Mediaplayer 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.
You can connect your TV set wired (Ethernet, PowerLine) to your home
network.
The Network Mediaplayer supports UPnP AV standard.
You will find more detailed information in the technical data on page 17
and in the glossary from page 18.

are just examples.
