- New Loewe Audiovision audio system
- New Loewe BluTech Vision Interactive BluRay player

Kronach. – Premium manufacturer Loewe is adding two innovative and attractive products to its range of systems, in the form of the AudioVision audio system and the new BluTech Vision Interactive BluRay player.

Loewe AudioVision
The AudioVision audio system combines several products in one. Not only can it play CDs, but it can also be used for listening to the radio and playing DVDs – in the best image quality, thanks to 1080p upscaling and the HDMI connection to the TV set. Of course, AudioVision also supports other common formats, such as DVD+/- RWs (video mode) and CD-R/RWs. What’s more, an iPhone or iPod, or a USB stick can be connected to the Loewe AudioVision, making playing media files from the storage medium child’s play. As a surround decoder, they also feature fantastic 5.1 surround sound. All Loewe speaker systems such as the Individual Sound and Reference Sound are designed to perfectly complement the AudioVision. Just one remote control is required to operate the AudioVision system, the new Loewe BluTech Vision Interactive BluRay Player and the Loewe TV set in the system. With Digital Link HD-enabled televisions, this is even possible when the set is concealed from view. The audio system from Loewe is not only technically, but also aesthetically perfectly matched to all Loewe products. All elements required for operation are hidden behind an elegant front cover, with the only design elements here being the typical Loewe eye and recess for the distinctive volume control. With the AudioVision, Loewe is, for the first time, offering a genuine premium entry-level system.

Loewe BluTech Vision Interactive
Like, Audiovision, the Loewe BluTech Vision Interactive BluRay player is the perfect addition to a Loewe System, both in terms of technology and aesthetics. With the direct opening of the disk slot after start-up, BluTech Vision Interactive is one of the fastest BluRay players on the market. This allows you to enjoy the film in brilliant quality just a short time after inserting the disk. Moreover, with BD Live and 1 GB internal Flash memory, the new BluRay player builds new bridges between home cinema and the Internet. Through the integration of BD Live, additional content for the inserted BluRay disk such as trailers, documentaries or director’s commentary can now be used. BD Live features are becoming increasingly common nowadays, with a growing range of BD disks. The use of these features requires an Internet connection (LAN). Navigation is effortless using a remote control, just as with a standard DVD menu. BluTech Vision Interactive supports the major BD formats (e.g. BD-AV and BD-MV). Through Loewe System integration, the Assist remote control can be used to operate not only the BluTech Vision Interactive, but also the AudioVision audio system, the Loewe TV set and other pieces of Loewe equipment. Digital Link HD also ensures that the BluTech Vision can be operated even when concealed from view. Also integrated are Dolby Digital Plus, Dolby True HD und dts-HD – so that you can also fully appreciate the sound of breath-taking home cinema. The lack of ventilation not only enables virtually silent operation, but also a perfect design without a ventilation grille. As is typical for Loewe, all the necessary operating elements are hidden behind a minimalist front cover.

Loewe AudioVision is available to purchase in Chrome Silver and Black. From October 2009, the Loewe BluTech Vision Interactive will be available in stores in Chrome Silver and Black.
