Operating additional equipment
Devices to the HDMI (DVI) connections
The HDMI connections (High Definition Multimedia
Interface) allow the transmission of digital video and
audio signals from a player, e.g. DVD player, DVD re-
corder, Blu-ray player, game console or Set-Top-Box via
a single cable.
The digital video and audio data are transmitted without data compres-
sion digitally and therefore lose none of their quality.
Your TV set shows 24p films (see glossary on page 70) which are output
by a player connected via HDMI, e.g. Loewe BluTech Vision, automatically
in the original 24p format.
Film quality improvement (DMM)
must be set to
on
(see page 21).
Digital video signals from a DVI player can be also be reproduced by the
HDMI connection using a DVI/HDMI adapter cable. The sound must be
piped in additionally.
HDMI and DVI both use the same copy protection method HDCP.

BluTech Vision) is controlled by the TV set. A concealed installation of the
accessory equipment is also possible.
Operation of equipment with Digital Link HD

mands which can be processed by the device connected to the respective
socket are passed on to it. The device can therefore be installed concealed
and still be controlled.
