About this user manual
For best results regarding safety and the longevity of the set, we
recommend you read the chapter For your safety before switching
the TV set on for the first time.
The chapter glossary gives explanations of certain terms used in the
TV set and the user manual.
Paragraphs which begin with the symbol indicate important
instructions, tips or conditions for the following settings.
Terms which you will find in the menus or printed on the remote control
or TV set are written in bold type.
The necessary control elements are shown in the descriptions to the
left of the text containing the instructions for action.
Depending on the connected accessory equipment the menus in the
TV set can differ from those described here.
All the station names, programme contents, the illustrated photos,
titles, albums and album covers in this user manual are examples.
In addition to the remote control, a PC keyboard can be connected to
one of the USB ports on your TV and then used to control your TV set.
In the user manual, this symbol indicates places in
whichthe useofa keyboardisparticularlyadvantageous.
The user guide and the user manual for your TV set are updated at
irregular intervals. We recommend an occasional examination on the
Support Portal of the Loewe homepage.
General information on the operation of the
TV set
For further information on the user interface and the general operation
of your TV set see chapter General information on the operation.
Interactive data services
In some countries the stations also broadcast interactive data services
with their programmes, leading to the functions of individual keys not
being available or only so to a limited extent. You can find out more
about this in chapter TV, section HbbTV / MediaText.

For your safety, and to avoid unnecessary damage to your unit,
please read and follow the safety instructions below:
Intended use and ambient conditions
This TV set is intended exclusively for receiving and playing visual and
audio signals. Your set is designed for operation in dry rooms. It must
not be used in rooms with a high level of humidity (e.g. bathroom,
sauna).
Please be aware that your TV set may react sensitively against dust
and soot particles in the ambient air. Excessive loads of this type may
damage the device or even lead to a malfunction.
Please take care for clean air environment to avoid any damage of your
device.
Soot and dust deposits can accumulate behind the front panel glass
of the LCD TV set without a visible source of soot being present. These
soot and dust deposits are also known as “fogging” or “magic dust”.
There are scattered instances of this phenomenon, but especially
during the warm-up period and after renovation work or in new
constructions. Various factors are mentioned as the cause, see too
the reports on the Internet.
In such cases cleaning or replacement of the panel is excluded from
the guarantee, since it does not involve a set defect, but rather an
external influence.
If the unit is used outdoors, make sure that it is protected from moisture
(rain, dripping water and splashing water or dew). High humidity and
dust concentrations lead to leakage currents in the device. This can
result in a shock hazard when touching it or even fire.
If you have moved the unit out of the cold into a warm environment,
leave it switched off for about an hour to avoid the formation of con-
densation.
Do not place objects containing liquids on top of
the unit. Protect the appliance against dripping
and splashing water.
Candles or naked flames must be kept away from
the TV set at all times to prevent it from catching
fire.
Never place the TV set in a location where it is
exposed to vibrations. This may lead to damage.
Transporting
Move the device in vertical position only. Get hold of the device on the
upper and lower edges of the housing.
Do not stand it up on the bottom edge, so as to reduce the risk of
damage and soiling. If the set has to be put down during packing/
unpacking, place the TV set with its entire front surface lying flat on
soft material. Use a blanket or the fleece from the packing material as
an underlay.
The LCD screen is made of glass or plastic and can break if not handled
properly.
Always wear rubber gloves to carry the TV set if the LCD screen is
damaged and liquid crystal might be leaking out. In the case of skin
contact immediately rinse thoroughly with water.
Power supply
Incorrect voltages can damage the unit. This device may only be
connected to a power supply with the voltage and frequency indicated
on the type plate using the supplied mains cable. The mains plug of the
TV set must be easily accessible so that the device can be disconnected
from the mains at any time. When unplugging the unit from the mains,
pull at the connector body and not at the cable. The cables in the mains
plug could otherwise be damaged and could cause a short-circuit when
plugged in again. Lay the mains cable so that it cannot be damaged.
Do not step on the mains cable. The mains cable may not be kinked
or laid over sharp edges nor be exposed to chemicals; the latter also
applies to the unit as a whole. A mains cable with damaged insulation
can cause electric shocks and poses a fire risk.
Air circulation and high temperatures
The vent slots on the rear panel of the set must always be kept
unobstructed. Please do not place newspapers or cloths on/over the
TV set.
Make sure that there is at least 10 cm free space
on the sides and above the set for air circulation,
if the set is placed in a cabinet or on a shelf.
Like any electronic device, your TV set requires
air for cooling. Obstruction of the air circulation
can cause fires.
Prevent metal items, needles, paper clips, liquids, wax, or similar items,
from getting into the interior of the device through the vent slots in the
rear panel. Such objects can cause short circuits in the set, which
could possibly cause a fire.
If something should get into the interior of the set then immediately
unplug the mains plug of the device and contact the field service for
more information.
About the LCD screen
The TV set with LCD screen you have purchased satisfies the most
rigorous quality requirements and has been inspected with respect
to pixel errors. Despite of thorough care when manufacturing the
display, it cannot be 100% guaranteed that no subpixel defects will
occur due to technical reasons. Please understand that these types
of effects, as long as they are within the limits specified in the standard,
cannot be considered as a device defect in terms of the guarantee.
Avoid displaying still images for long periods of time. It is possible that
a copy of the image may remain visible.

For your safety
Set-up
Loewe flatscreen TV sets are specified for Loewe accessories. The TV
set is suitable for mounting in many different ways. Note the assembly
instructions regarding the different possible mounting options.
When using accessories from other manufacturers take care that the
TV set can be easily inclined or rotated on the respective mounting
option.
For mounting options from other manufacturers with motor drive,
make sure that the TV set cannot be rotated manually. The use of
mounting options from other manufacturers with locks in certain
positions is generally discouraged.
When rotating the TV set it is essential to
ensure that the pressure exerted on the device
frame is not too large. Especially in case of
large-format displays there is a risk to damage
the screen.
Before setting up the device, please check that the final location is
suitable to bear the load of the device in terms of surface (sensitivity
to pressure) and stability (statics).
This is particularly the case for the high-gloss painted surfaces and
surfaces that are made from real wood / real wood veneer or plastic
surfaces.
Place the TV set with the table or floor stand only on a level, sturdy,
horizontal base. Particularly ensure that the set does not protrude to
the front when placed in or on pieces of furniture.
Place the TV set in a normal position for use. TV set may only be used
in an upright horizontal position. It may not be tilted by more than 10
degrees. The TV set must never be operated in portrait position, lying
flat or hanging overhead from the ceiling.
Set up the device where it is not exposed to direct insolation and where
it is not exposed to additional heating by radiators
.
When using the VESA mounting points, please refer to the information
in chapter Accessories, section VESA standard.
Supervision
Do not let children operate the TV set unsupervised and do not let
them loiter and play close to the set. The set could tip over, be pushed
off or pulled down from the stand surface and injure someone.
Do not allow the switched-on TV set to run unattended.
Volume
Loud music can lead to ear damage. Avoid extreme volume especially
over long periods and when using headphones.
Thunder storms
Pull out the mains plug and all connected antenna cables from the TV
set in a thunderstorm. Overvoltage caused by lightning strokes can
damage the set via the antenna system, as well as via the mains. The
mains plug and all connected antenna cables should also be pulled
out during long periods of absence.
±10°
D
Automatic shutdown
If the TV is not operated for 4 hours (adjustment of volume, programme
change, etc.) the TV will automatically switch to stand-by mode to save
energy. A prompt to terminate this shutdown process appears one
minute before expiry of the 4 hours.
The automatic shutdown is active in the energy efficiency mode
Home Mode.
Automatic shutdown does not occur when using the radio without
screen display (screen off).
Cleaning and care
Switch off the TV set with the main switch prior to cleaning.
Clean the TV set, the screen, and the remote control unit with a soft,
moist, clean and colour-neutral cloth only, without any aggressive or
scouring cleaning agents.
Repairs and accessories
Never remove the back of the TV set yourself. Have your TV set
repaired or serviced by authorised television technicians only.
Only use original accessories such as Loewe stands, if possible.

Installing the TV set
Mounting options / Installation notes
Mount the supplied mounting option. While doing so, look for the
corresponding directions in the installation instruction.
Your Loewe dealer can assist you in finding other mounting options
that suit your needs.
Choose a place for installing your TV set where no bright light or
sunlight shines directly onto the screen. This could cause reflections
which impair the picture.
3 times the screen diagonal can be taken as a guide value for the
viewing distance (e.g., for a 40-inch set approx. 3 m for SD signal). The
viewing distance can be reduced with an HD/UHD signal.
Set covers
Covers for rear and side connections
In order to remove the rear side cable covers pull them simply from
the device.
To fit the cover, insert the lugs at the top edge of the cover into the
corresponding cut-outs in the rear panel and push up the cover until
it snaps in.
The side cover of the TV set can also be completely removed. For this,
open it as far as it will go and gently pull on the open cover.
The cover detaches from the holder and gives free access to the
connection area. To replace the cover, simply push it until it latches
back into place.
A cable bushing connects the lateral and posterior terminal region. In
this way you can pass the cables of the lateral connections through
and lay them out together with the rear connecting cables.
Cable fixing
Using the Velcro cable tie supplied, you can fix the rear cables.
For the Connect 32 this is done by a fixation at the table stand (see
installation instructions of the table stand).

Connect the TV set to a 220-240V mains socket:
A cable bushing connects the lateral and posterior terminal region. In
this way you can pass the cables of the lateral connections through
and lay them out together with the rear connecting cables.
Connecting antennas
Cable (analogue) / DVB-C / DVB-T antenna:
Plug the cable of antenna, cable TV system or room antenna into the
ANT TV socket.
If you want to use analogue cables / DVB-C connection and a DVB-T
antenna together, use an external antenna switch (available from
your dealer).
Satellite antenna DVB-S:
Depending on the used satellite system, connect a connecting cable
from the multi-switch or directly from the LNC to the ANT-SAT and
ANT-SAT2 sockets of the TV set respectively.
When connecting the TV set to a single cable community antenna,
connect the ANT-SAT and ANT-SAT2 sockets directly to the
appropriate SAT antenna socket.
When connecting the TV set to a DiSEqC single cable community
antenna (in accordance with EN 50494), connect the ANT-SAT
socket directly to the appropriate SAT antenna socket.
In case of a DiSEqC one cable communal system you require only
one antenna cable. Further distribution of the signal to the two
reception routes is accomplished by the TV set’s satellite tuner.
It is possible, however, to continue using an existing SAT cabling
with two antenna cables in a DiSEqC one cable communal system.
If two transmission channels of the DiSEqC single cable community
exist, one system channel is used per satellite antenna cable (see
also chapter Initial installation, section DiSEqC single cable

Preparing the TV set
Connecting the TV set to the Home network
You may link your TV set to the home network by a wired connection
(Ethernet, Powerline adapters separately available) or by a wireless
radio connection (WLAN). For wireless connections, the TV set has
an internal WLAN antenna.
In order to play back data from your home network your Loewe TV
supports the UPnP AV standard.
For the network adaptor configuration, see chapter System settings,
section Multimedia / Network– Network settings.
U nder no circumstances may the TV set be wired and at the
same time connected by a wireless connection to the same
network, e.g. router. This may cause severe operational faults!
Example for a wired connection
Connect the LAN socket of your TV set to the LAN switch/router of
your home network with a network cable (available from your dealer).
Example for a wireless connection
You can connect the TV set to your home network by a wireless radio
connection via the WLAN antenna inside the set.
Shadow effects of various materials, such as reinforced concrete,
metal surfaces, etc., attenuate the WIFI signal sometimes
significantly or completely.
Help for configuration problems
Loewe cannot provide any support for PC hardware and software or
network components owing to the diverse configuration options with
home networks.
Please contact the administrator of your home network and/or specialist
dealer for support when setting up and for maintenance of network
connections, storage media, media server software and network devices
such as routers.

Technical information
Switching off the TV set with the mains switch during operation or an
inadvertent disruption to the power supply (e.g. power failure) can
cause damage to the hard disk file system of an externally connected
hard disk and hence loss of the recorded broadcasts.
Before switching off the set with the mains switch, we recommend
you to switch it to standby mode.
However, if unexpected problems occur when operating the hard
disk, formatting the external hard disk may rectify this. Refer to the
instructions in chapter System settings, section Control – Hard
disks.
Loewe are not liable for the loss of data on the hard disk externally
connected to your TV set. To avoid data loss, we recommend copying
important recordings to an additional external storage medium.
