M200 Loewe
With the Re:connect M200
Loewe, Revox offers an inter-
face, for the intelligent control of
the most widely used Loewe
televisions*.
The correct picture input is auto-
matically selected at the television
with the help of the interface. Ad-
ditionally, the next or previous TV
programme can be selected for
the television, through the M218
wall-mounted keypad.
*Please observe the system requirements
New Multiroom Planer V2.00
The new Multiroom Planner
doesn't just calculate the correct
address assignment for the
M219 Side room amplifiers and
M217 Wall-mounted displays, it
also calculates the slot ad-
dresses for the M200 series
Re:control products in the side
room. Take advantage of the
possibility to be able to deter-
mine in advance, all M200,
M217 and M219 addresses sim-
ply and quickly and at the same
time save the information as
system documentation. You will
find more information about ad-
dressing the M200 in the side
room, on Page 10 of this manual.
You can download the new Mul-
tiroom Planner V2.00 free-of-
charge from the download area
of the Revox Homepage, under
www.revox.com.
New features from software V2.00
From software version 2.00, the
M200 can be connected not only
to an M51 but also to the M219
Side room amplifier.
As a result, a Loewe television
can also be controlled from an
side room, using the M219 Side
room amplifier. The option of
connecting an M200 interface to
an M219 exists with the first four
Side room amplifiers for each
zone. As a result, a total of 16
Side room amplifiers can be
connected with an M200 inter-
face in a Revox Multiroom sys-
tem with 4 different zones.
In the same way as with the
setup of an M51, you define
which video input at the Loewe
TV is activated by which M219
audio source, through the M203
Setup module. The local inputs
Local 1 – 3 at the M219 can be
used for the control, as well as
the audio sources of the Multi-
room Central unit.
Important advice:
If you want to use the soft-
ware version 2.00, the com-
plete Revox system must be
updated to the level 2.00, or
higher.

Introduction
M200 Mk2
The M200 Mk2 offers the option
of selecting specific stations
using the skip keys (<>) on an
M218 wall-mounted keypad,
once the TV tuner has been
selected.
This comfort function requires
two settings:
1/2 Audio IN assignment
M51 in combination with M200
The sound input, e.g. TV, Aux1,
Optical, etc., of the remote de-
vice must be assigned to one of
the following Remote buttons in
the Remote menu:
•Local
•Local 1
•Local 2
•Local 3
Assignment example
M219 in combination with M200
There is no need to make an
assignment through the Remote
menu with an M219, because its
local audio inputs (Local 1-3) are
always assigned to the IR com-
mands Local, Local 1, Local 2
and Local 3. Continue with point
2/2
Note: Monitor-only devices
This comfort function is only
available with TV models with an
integrated TV tuner. It cannot be
selected in case of monitor-only
devices without a TV tuner.
2/2 TV Tuner assignment
M200 Setup #5 - Input
The second assignment affects
Setup #5 in the M200. Here, the
physical audio source of the TV
sound that was assigned to a
Local Remote button in the first
step, is assigned to the televi-
sion's TV Tuner.
In the example above, the audio
source TV calls the television
tuner. As well as the Multiroom
central unit sources, a side room
amplifier also offers its own local
Inputs 1-3 for the TV Tuner as-
signment.

Function Overview
As well as main room operation,
the new side room functionality
available from software version
2.00 also allows an M200 Mk2 to
be connected to an M219 Side
room amplifier. You should be
aware however, that not all func-
tions are available in the side
room. This is highlighted in the
individual as well as in the follow-
ing overview table.

Link booster – see drawings on
pages 14-16.
2 Relay control through the IR
remote control (Relay function:
Remote), is only possible if the
IR Receiver, e.g. M204, M208
is directly connected to the
M200 - see drawings on pages

M219: Yes þ
The M200 Interface can be used
with other (TV) devices, which
also have a serial interface.
This enables the integration of a
large number of Loewe televi-
sions into the Revox World.
Which models are supported
and how the integration is
achieved, is described starting
from page 11.
The M200 Interface is also suit-
able as an interface to domestic
facility management systems
such as AMX or Crestron,
which have a special Revox
protocol.
Even a Windows PC with the
M230 control program can be
connected to the serial interface
on the M200
Serial cables with a maximum
length of 10 metres can be
used.
Connection:
M200 Trigger input
Socket: INPUT A B RS232
Setup: # 4 – from page 6
M219: No o
Using INPUT A and INPUT B,
you can trigger specific events at
the M51. This is done by apply-
ing a voltage between 5 and 24
volts (DC) to the corresponding
input. There are various options
that can be carried out when the
input is supplied with voltage.
This function is not available in
the side room through the M219.
Control example
The switching diagram below,
shows you how can activate the
Inputs A and B with two keys S1
and S2.

M200 Relay output
Socket: Relay A B
Setup: # 2 – from page 8
M219: Yes, with Link Booster þ
The two changeover relays can
be operated in different modes,
independently of each other.
Note:
In active operation, the relays
need 18-24 VDC. However when
connected to an M219 Side room
amplifier or when the M51 is in
standby mode, only 12 VDC is
available. This means that in
these cases, the relays do not
react to a command.
Solution:
Through the deployment of the
M-Link Booster, the power is
held at a permanent 18 VDC
and the relays work reliably in
every operational state – see
connection diagrams on pages
14-16.
Please note
The switching voltage may
not exceed 42 volts.
Switching voltage: 0- 42 Volt*

Socket: Output
Setup: without configuration
M219: No o
Using the OUTPUT, you can
control the output voltage with
the remote control M208, giving
a variable voltage between 0
and 10 volts. This voltage ramp
could be used, for example, to
set the dimmer control of a light-
ing system to a desired level.
Standard electronic dimmers
with a controller input offer the
option of adjusting the bright-
ness between 0 and 100%.

Example M200 with M51:
A SAT receiver can conveniently
be integrated through the auto-
matic selection of the video input
on the TV by the M51. Its picture
output is connected, for example,
to the Input-2 on the Loewe TV,
while the audio signal is con-
nected to the Optical digital input
on the M51.
Please also refer to the picture on
the next page.
If you now select the source SAT
(Optical) at the M51, the Loewe
TV automatically transmits the
SAT receiver picture over the
Input-2 and the sound from the
SAT receiver is transmitted over
the M51.
The convenient integration can
of course also be used for the
M51’s integrated DVD player.
Please refer to the picture on the
next page – Connection : Video
