Welcome
About the Network Mediaplayer
Your Loewe TV set is equipped with the Network Mediaplayer. This allows
you to play back multimedia contents (photos, music files, videos) that are
saved on a data medium on your home network and are made available via
a media server (also see page 16). The Network Mediaplayer can access
various types of storage media on the network for this purpose (e.g. PCs,
Network Attached Storages (NAS)).
You can connect your TV set either wired (Ethernet, PowerLine) or also via
a wireless radio connection (WLAN) to your home network. The TV set has
wireless connections via an internal WLAN antenna. To operate it when there
is bad reception there is an additional antenna included (not with Connect32).
You will find connection examples on page 5 on the right.
The Network Mediaplayer supports UPnP AV standard.
You will find more detailed information in the technical data on page 16
and in the glossary from page 17.
All photos, albums and album graphics shown in these operating instructions
are just examples.
Help for problems with home network
Because of the wide variety of configurations of home networks, Loewe
cannot provide support for PC hardware and software or network
components.

Connecting up the additional antenna
(not with Connect 32)
If your TV set should not recognise a wireless router despite it being set
up correctly, then it may help to mount the additional antenna supplied
on to the set.
Screw the antenna on to the thread available for it (connection is under
a flap on the back of the TV set on the right looking at the set from
behind).
Align the antenna to optimise the reception.
