Welcome
Thank you,
for choosing a Loewe product.
We are very happy to have you as a cus-
tomer.
Loewe combines high quality in technology,
design and user friendliness. This applies
equally for TV, video and accessories.
Neither the technology nor the design are an
end in themselves but serve to give our cus-
tomers pure watching and listening enjoy-
ment.
We have not allowed ourselves to be led
astray by short-lived fashion trends in the
design. You have, after all, purchased a high-
quality piece of equipment which you don’t
want to get tired of looking at tomorrow or
the day after.
About the set
We have designed the TV set in such a
way that it is easy to operate with
menus. If you need information about
how to operate it, just display the info
texts with the i button, you will soon
get a grasp of the relationships.
You will find the answers to many tech-
nical questions in the index of your TV
set. If it’s a matter of operating the TV,
you can access a function directly from
the index. This saves you from having to
read through detailed operating instruc-
tions and is the reason why this operat-
ing manual you are reading only explains
the most important operating steps.
With the remote control, you can operate
three Loewe units, this TV, a Loewe video
recorder and a Loewe DVD player.
TV equipment
This operating manual describes the maximum
equipment.
Functions marked by ✳are not available in
all TV sets.
The illustrated menu contents may vary de-
pending on the TV equipment.
You can find out what equipment your TV
has in the main information – ”Technical
spec. of TV set”.
Setup
Please note that the feet of the TV set could
leave marks on soft wood furniture (e.g.
deal, pine, fir etc.) due to the weight and
moving the set about.
The plastic material of the feet contains
softeners which could in some cases etch the
surfaces of furniture.
In such cases you should place a firm under-
lay about the same size as the base of the TV
set underneath it.
Please also read and observe the safety in-
structions on the following pages.
Make sure no bright light or sunlight falls on
the screen and impairs the picture by reflec-
tions.
Cleaning
Clean the TV set only with a damp, soft,
clean cloth (never use aggressive or abrasive
cleaning agents).
Disposal
Packaging and boxes
You have chosen a very high-quality, long-
lasting piece of technical equipment. In compli-
ance with national regulations,we have paid a
fee to authorized disposal companies who will
collect the packing from the dealers. Neverthe-
less we recommend that you keep the original
box and packing material so that theTV set has
optimum protection if you have to transport it.
The set
Please consult your dealer for environmen-
tally friendly disposal of the TV set.

For your own safety
For your own safety and in order to avoid
unnecessarily damaging your TV set, please
read and observe the following safety
instructions:
• ThisTV set is designed exclusively for
receiving and reproducing audio and visual
(AV) signals.
• It is designed for the home or office and
may not be used in rooms with high
humidity (e.g. bathroom, sauna) or a high
concentration of dust (e.g. workshops). If
theTV set is occasionally used outdoors,
you should make sure that is protected from
water (rain,splashing, dew).High moisture
and dust concentrations produce creep
currents in the set which can lead to danger
of electric shock or fire.
The manufacturer’s warranty is only valid
for use of theTV set in the specified
permissible environment.
• This set may only be connected to a power
supply with the voltage and frequency
specified on the rating plate using the
enclosed power cable.The wrong voltages
can damage the set.
• If the set is moved from a cold environment
to a warm room,condensation forms on all
parts of the set. Moisture produces creep
currents in the set which can cause a fire. In
this case, you should leave the set for a
reasonable time to acclimatize (when the
condensation on the screen has evaporated)
before switching it on.
• Like every piece of electronic equipment,
yourTV needs air for cooling.Obstructing
the air supply to the set can cause fires.The
air vents on the back of theTV set must
always be kept free.Do not leave
newspapers or cloths lying on theTV set.
The air supply is also impaired when theTV
set is placed on a blanket or a thick pile
carpet.
If theTV set is placed in a cabinet or on a
shelf, at least 5 cm clearance at the sides
and at least 10 cm at the top must be left to
allow air to circulate.
Stand theTV set in a place where it is not
exposed to direct sunlight or additional
heating from radiators.
• Magnetic fields influence the picture quality
of theTV set. Do not place loudspeakers or
other magnetic sources immediately next to
theTV set.
• Avoid dropping metal objects,needles,
paper clips, liquids,wax or similar into the
air vents at the back of the set.This causes
short circuiting of the set and could start a
fire.If anything should get inside the set,
switch it off immediately, pull out the plug
and call the after-sales service to check it.
Do not place vases filled with water, lighted
candles etc.on the top of theTV set.

8
For your own safety
• You should never attempt to remove the
rear panel of the TV yourself. The set op-
erates with high voltages which could be
fatal.Leave repairs and servicing of yourTV
set to authorizedTV technicians.
• Due to the picture tube,TV sets have their
centre of gravity fairly near to the front.The
TV set therefore has a tendency to tip for-
ward relatively easily which could cause
injury to persons.
Only stand theTV set on a level, firm base.
The set must stand on all feet.TheTV
should not overhang particularly when it is
placed in a cabinet or on a shelf.
If the TV is placed on a stand, make sure
this is larger than the surface area of the
base of theTV.
When using turntables and drawer shelves,
make sure they have a sufficient load ca-
pacity.
We recommend you to use only original
parts, e.g. Loewe racks and stands.
If theTV set is placed on a console with
castors, move the console carefully because
the console and theTV could tip over.
Consoles with castors may considerably
reduce the stability of the sets placed on
them, so only use consoles specially
designed and approved for theTV.
Never allow children to handle theTV set
unsupervised.
Do not allow children to play close to the
TV set, they could knock, push or pull it
from the stand and injure someone.
• Do not place theTV anywhere where it may
be exposed to vibrations.Vibrations can
lead to overloading of materials.
• Do not leave theTV on unsupervised.
• Pull out the antenna and mains plugs
during a thunderstorm. Surge voltages from
lighting strikes can damage the set both
through the antenna system and the mains.
You should also pull out the antenna and
mains plugs during long periods of ab-
sence.
• The mains plug of the TV must be easily
accessible so that it can be disconnected
from the mains quickly at any time.
• Lay the power cable so that it cannot be
damaged. The power cable may not be
kinked or laid over sharp edges, and may
not be walked over or exposed to chemi-
cals; the latter applies for the entire TV
set. A power cable with defective insu-
lation can lead to electric shocks and
is a fire risk.
• When you pull out the mains plug, do not
tug the cable but hold the housing of the
plug. The cables in the mains plug could
be damaged and cause a short circuit the
next time it is plugged in.

If, for example, you cannot receive any EPG
providers and no DVB is installed in theTV set,
you should switch off the data acquisition.
Implementing data acquisition
The data must be collected first after these
settings or every time theTV is switched off.To
do this, select the programme which you
have defined as a provider and leave it
switched on for about one hour. Or switch
the set into standby mode.The green LED lights
up in addition to the red LED after about two
minutes.Data acquisition takes about one hour,
in sets with a DVB module a little longer.The
data is automatically collected between 2 and 5
in the morning when theTV is switched off to
standby.
Defining personal topics
You will find the programs that interest you
faster when you define your personal topics.
Mark ”Select personal topics” in the EPG menu
and compile your list of personal topics.
Radio mode
You can switch the radio mode on and off with
the Lbutton. If at least one satellite tuner
and possibly a DVB module are installed in your
TV set,you will be able to receive radio stations.
If none of these additional modules is installed,
you can only select the audio inputs and play
back through these with the channel table or
the g h buttons.You can find further informa-
tion in the Operating Instructions for satellites
and DVB.
Modes of operation
Select programmes for EPG
Select the channels here for which information is
to be collected.

lites) and D (digital),these are already marked

memory of theTV, you are asked whether you
want to make a data transfer.
The receiver unit of theVCR is always used for
recording with a Digital Link Plus video recorder
(not satellite channels) and the tuner of theTV
set is available for watchingTV.
LoeweVCRs also have Digital Link,a system for
controlling LoeweVCRs via the Euro-AV cable.
TheTV tuner is used for recording here.If you
have installed your LoeweVCR in a concealed
place,you can operate the LoeweVCR with the
remote control. Operation with the control bar
also works with Digital Link.
Digital Link must be switched on on the
video recorder.

Video playback
In order to see theVCR picture on your TV and
hear its sound you have several possibilities:
1. You can use the Euro-AV sockets on theTV
set and on theVCR.This is the best option of
all – good picture and sound quality.
If you are playing back from aVCR with
Digital Link Plus,theVCR picture is shown on
the current channel slot.
If you are playing back from a standardVCR,
DVD player or camcorder, select theAV
socket to which the video signal is connected
in theAV selection list or the channel table.
Video recorders emit a switching voltage
during playback which theTV set can decode
(can be activated for everyVCR in the con-
nection wizard).Then theVCR picture is
shown on the current channel slot as in Dig-
ital Link PlusVCR’s.
2. You use the antenna connection between the
VCR and theTV set.The sound is only broad-
cast in mono.To do this,select the first menu
item,e.g.VCR, in theAV selection list.
