Operatingrequirements
Before you can use the functions of the Loewe Multiroom Receiver, the following requirements need to be met:
- At least one remote control of the type Loewe Assist Media.
- At least one Multiroom Receiver.
- Connection to a wireless (WiFi) or wired home network, router with Internet access.
- Connection to a Loewe Mediacenter in the home network.
- Per Multiroom Receiver one pair of loudspeakers each and as an option, a Loewe Subwoofer.
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.
- If setting up in a shelf or a closed cupboard: Leave at least 2.5 cm clearance around the unit, so that the air can circulate unhindered and there is no heat backup. Do not cover the fan and opening on the back. The device may not be laid on its back during operation. Use only the accompanying bracket support or the wall mount.
- 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 disconnected from the mains at any time.
- Position the mains cable in such a way that it can not be damaged. The network ca ble must not be bent or placed on sharp edges, should not be walked on and not be subjected to any che mi ca ls . The latter applies to the entire 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 damaged 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 46).
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.
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).

If you have moved the unit out of the cold into a warm environment, leave it switched off for about three hours to avoid the formation of condensation.
Always switch off your system (Individual Sound Multiroom Receiver, TV set and any other components which may be connected) before connecting or disconnecting other devices or speakers.
Protect your device from:
• Water, dampness, dripping or sprayed water or 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 objects containing liquids on top of the unit.
Candles and other open flames must be kept away from the unit at all times to prevent the spread of fire.
The ventilation slits on the back of the unit must not be covered with magazines or rugs. Pay attention for example to curtains etc.

WARNING: TO PREVENT ELECTRICAL SHOCK, DO NOT REMOVE THE COVERS. THERE ARE NO PARTS INSIDE THE UNIT THAT CAN BE REPAIRED BY THE USER. REPAIRS SHOULD ONLY BE CARRIED OUT BY A LOEWE DEALER.
Only use Ori gi nal accessories and spare parts from Loewe.

Glossary
C
Channel (WiFi): Channel is understood to mean a certain part of the WiFi frequency band. Devices that want to communicate with each other have to use the same WiFi channel. In Europe the WiFi frequency band is currently divided into 13 channels.
Client: Also called network client, describes an end device such as your TV set that is connected to the network and gets data from a (media) server to make it accessible to the user.
D
DHCP: Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP allows automatic assignment of IP addresses with the aid of a DHCP server.
DHCP server: Network service which takes care of automatic assignment of IP addresses to clients.
DRM: Digital Rights Management. Processes to control copyright protected data. To be used correctly, DRM protected contents require not only a DRM capable device but also the possession of a license issued by the provider (to be paid for).
E
Ethernet: Cable linked data net technology for local networks (LANs). Also covers standards for e.g. plug connectors and transfer speeds.
H
Host: Computer that the server services are provided from, i.e. that makes data available. Refer also to media server.
|
ID3-Tags: Additional information in the case of MP3-files. Here you can save information on the artist, title, album and album cover. This data is then processed by the PC using an ID3 tag editor.
IP-Address: IP addresses (Internet Protocol Addresses) are used to identify devices in an Internet Protocol (IP) network. IP addresses are made up of four groups of numbers of three digits each.
L
LAN: Abbreviation for Local Area Network. Mainly used as a name for networks with cabling (Ethernet).
M
MAC address: Hardware address of a network adapter, e.g. the network card in the PC. It is issued permanently by the manufacturer and is used to uniquely identify devices in networks.
Mbit/sec: Information about the transfer rate in networks in megabits, i.e. millions of characters per second. With WiFi the maximum speed is 11 (IEEE 802.11b) or 54 (IEEE 802.11g) Mbit/sec, in wired nets 10 Mbit/sec or 100 Mbit/sec (Fast Ethernet).
Media Server: Stands for the device which multimedia contents are stored on, but is also the name for the service provided by the device that makes this data available to the network.
MP3: Data format for compressed audio data.
N
NAS: Abbreviation for Network Attached Storage. The term describes a hard disk which is independently linked to the network (i.e. without a PC).
R
Router: Device for connecting up several networks, e.g. home network and Internet.
S
Switch: Device for connecting several computers to a network.
U
UPnP AV: Abbreviation for Universal Plug and Play - Audio/Video. Is used to control network devices from all manufacturers. Has become a wide spread standard for home networking.
USB: Universal Serial Bus. Serial bus system for connecting external devices (USB card reader, USB stick).
W
WEP: Abbreviation for Wired Equivalent Privacy. Former standard process in the WiFi encryption, now outdated.
Wired network: see LAN.
Wireless network: see WiFi.
WiFi: Abbreviation for Wireless fidelity (Wireless Local Area Network). Also abbreviated as wireless network.
WMA: Abbreviation for Windows Media Audio, Microsoft own audio data format. As with MP3 files, the content is compressed here as well.
WPA: Abbreviation for Wi-Fi Protected Access. Replaced WEP as standard encryption for wireless networks.

Cardboard box and packaging
In line with national regulations regarding the disposal of packaging materials, we pay a fee to authorised recyclers who collect packaging from dealers. Nevertheless, we recommend that you keep the original cardboard box and the rest of the packaging materials so that the unit can, if necessary, be transported in the safest possible conditions.
The Unit

Attention: The EU Directive 2002/96 /EC governs the proper return, handling and recycling of used electronic appliances. Old electronic appliances must therefore be disposed of separately. Never dispose of this unit in the normal domestic waste! You can hand in your old unit free of charge at identified collection points or to your dealer if you buy a similar new unit.
Other details about return (also for non-EU countries) are available from your local authorities.
