Welcome
Thank you!
At Loewe, we combine the highest standards of technology, design and
user friendliness. This applies equally for TV, video and accessories.
Your new TV set is equipped for the TV standard "HDTV"
(High Definition Television). With its high definition
screen, the 200 Hz image refresh frequency and the
future-oriented digital interfaces HDMI (High Definition
Multimedia Interface) it offers possibilities for watching
HDTV broadcasts in an excellent picture quality.
HDTV is a worldwide, digital standard in the 16:9 format
which revolutionises normal TV viewing. It is broadcast
with an up to five times greater resolution than conven-
tional signals and therefore creates an unexpectedly 3D
image.
The TV set is equipped for digital reception. You can use the already
frequently broadcast "everywhere television" (DVB-T) as well as digital
cable (DVB-C) and digital satellite reception (DVB-S/DVB-S2).
If MHEG-5 is selected for location of TV set UK or IRL, there are some
restrictions for reception:
DVB-C and DVB-S reception is not possible with MHEG-5, see also on
page 14. Common Interface Plus technology will not work any more
after activating MHEG-5.
The TV set is equipped with a Dolby Digital Decoder. You can connect a
speaker system or active speakers and enjoy movie theater sound.
You can connect a card reader or a USB stick with digital photos and/
or MP3 music files to the USB connection of your TV set and view your
photos or play music via the integrated PhotoViewer/MusicBox software.
All the functions can be operated with the Loewe remote control.
We have designed the TV set in such a manner that you can easily operate
it with the help of wizards and menus. Information about the menu set-
tings is displayed automatically. You will quickly comprehend the context.

About this operating manual
For best results regarding safety and the longevity of the set, we recom-
mend you read the chapter "For your Safety” (page 10) before switching
it on for the first time.
For many questions concerning the technology you will find an answer
in the index of your TV set. If your question concerns TV set operation,
you can access a function directly from the index of the TV set.
Owing to this possibility, this operating manual only explains the most
important operating steps.
The index/glossary from page 117 onwards gives explanations of certain
terms used in the TV set and the operating manual.
Paragraphs which begin with the symbol ➠indicate important instruc-
tions, 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 operating manual are examples.
TV set equipment
See the rating plate on the rear of the set for the precise product desig-
nation. The precise features are listed in the Integrated features item in
the index of the TV set (see page 17).

For your own safety and to prevent unnecessary damage to your device,
read and comply with the following safety instructions:
Proper use and environmental conditions
This TV set is designed exclusively for reception and reproduction of
video and audio signals and is designed for living rooms or office facilities,
and should not be operated in rooms with high humidity, such as a
bathroom, or sauna, or where there is a high concentration of dust (e.g.
workshops). The manufacturer‘s warranty is only valid for use in the specified
permissible environment.
If the set is used outdoors ensure that it is protected against moisture
(rain, splashing water, or dew). High humidity and dust concentrations
cause leak currents in the device, which can cause a shock hazard if the
device is touched, or a fire.
If you have brought the set into a
warm environment from the cold,
then wait for about 1 hour before
switching it on to avoid formation of
condensation.
Do not place any objects filled with
liquid or burning candles on the de-
vice. Protect the set against dripping
and splashing water.
Never place the TV set in a position
where it is exposed to vibrations. This
can lead to material overload.
Transporting
Only transport the device in vertical position. Grasp the device on the
upper and lower edges of the housing.
The LCD screen is made of glass or plastic and can break if not handled
properly.
If the LCD screen is damaged and liquid crystal escapes, wear rubber
gloves when moving the device. In the case of skin contact immediately
wash thoroughly with water.
Power supply
The wrong voltage can damage the set. This equipment must only be
connected to a mains power supply which has the same voltage and
frequency as that specified on the rating plate; use the mains cable
provided. 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 you
unplug the mains plug, do not pull on the cable rather pull on the plug
housing. The cable in the mains plug could be damaged and cause a
short circuit the next time it is plugged in.
Lay out the mains cable in such a manner that it cannot be damaged.
The mains cable must not be kinked or laid over sharp edges, stepped
on or exposed to chemicals; The latter also applies for the entire equip-
ment. A mains cable with damaged insulation can cause electrical shock
and is a fire hazard.
Air circulation and high temperatures
The vent slots on the rear panel of the set must always be kept free.
Please do not place newspapers or cloths on/over the TV.
It must be ensured that there is
at least 10 cm clear around the
sides and at the top for air cir-
culation if the equipment is to
be fitted in a cabinet.
Like any electronic device, your
TV set requires air for cooling.
Obstruction of the air circula-
tion can cause fires.
The set is suitable for different
installation solutions. See the
instructions for assembly for the different installation solutions.
Stand the TV set with the 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.
Set up the device where it is not exposed to direct sunlight and where it
is not exposed to additional warming through heating elements.
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 customer service for
more information.

For your safety
Energy consumption
Your TV set is equipped with an eco-standby power supply. In the standby
mode, the power consumption drops to low power (see Technical data on
page 112). If you want to save even more energy then switch the device
off with the mains switch. However note that in this case, EPG (Electronic
Programme Guide) data will be lost, and it may be that programmed
timer recordings cannot be executed via the TV device.
The power consumed by the TV set in operation depends on the choice
of the energy efficiency presetting in the initial installation (page 14).
If you activate the automatic dimming (see page 24), your TV picture will
adapt to the ambient brightness. This reduces the power consumption
of the TV set.
Packaging and box
You have made a decision to purchase a high-quality technical product
with a long service life. For disposal of the packaging, in accordance with
national legislation we have paid a fee to a commissioned recycler to pick
up the packaging from the dealer. Nevertheless we recommend keeping
the original box and packaging material on hand so that the device can
be transported with optimal protection if necessary.
The set
The EU directive 2002/96/EC regulates the proper way
to recycle, handle and utilise used electronic devices.
Old electronic devices consequently must be disposed of
separately. Please do not dispose of this device in normal
household trash!
You may return your used set free of charge at designated
recycling centres or at your specialist dealer whenever you purchase a
new, comparable set. Additional details about return (also for non EU
countries) are available from your local municipal authorities.
Repairs and accessories
Never remove the back of the TV set yourself. Only have your TV device
repaired or serviced by authorised television technicians.
Only use original accessories such as Loewe stands if possible (see Acces-
sories on pages 114 and 115).
Supervision
Do not allow children to use the TV set without supervision or to play in
the immediate vicinity of the TV 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.
Cleaning
Clean the TV set, the screen and the remote control unit with a soft,
moist and clean cloth only, without any aggressive or scouring cleaning
agents.
Thunder storms
Pull out the mains plug and all connected antenna cables from the TV
set in a thunderstorm. Overvoltage caused by lightning 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 pe-
riods of absence.
Note on the LCD screen
The TV set you have purchased with LCD screen satisfies the most rigor-
ous quality requirements and has been inspected relative to pixel errors.
In spite of the utmost care in manufacturing the display, for technical
reasons the possibility that some pixels will have defects cannot be 100%
excluded. Please understand that these types of effects, as long as they
are within the standard of specified limits, 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.

For TV sets with MHEG-5 software the stations are tied to
“Logical Channel Numbers” – “LCN” and sorted from
1-799. Digital stations without “LCN” are stored from 800
onwards. Analogue stations are stored from 1001.
You can state whether coded stations are to be searched
for in the search/update. Select yes to save all found scram-
bled stations. However, these stations can only be received
in connection with a CA module and the appropriate Smart
Card. Handling of the CA module is described on page 42.
If a CA module with a SmartCard is already plugged in for
the station search, all the stations which this module can
descramble are also saved when no is preset.
If you are using an active antenna, then select yes (5V) for
the antenna power supply.
The conventional settings will be derived from the selection
of set location. Only change this if you know other symbol
rates and modulation types or if you have to specify the
network ID for your cable network. In the case of small
cable networks fed directly from the satellite, the rate of
6900 might have to be replaced by 6111. Information is
available from your cable network provider.
If you want to run the station search independently of
the channel grid, select frequency search for the search
method.
State how (single satellite or type of satellite system) you
receive which satellite(s). Ask your dealer if in doubt.
Specify here whether the high band of the selected satellite
is to be searched in addition to the low band.
Normally, you do not need to change the values for high
and low band, unless the LNC (LNB) of your satellite system
uses a different oscillator frequency (important for the
frequency display).
After you have made these settings, you should receive
the picture and sound of the selected satellites (only with
Astra1 and HOTBIRD).
If you want to run the station search independently of
the channel grid, select frequency search for the search
method.
The symbol rates are specified by the satellite provider and
do not normally need to be changed.
Select the signal source from a list, the station of which is to
be at the top of your station list (starting with station slot 1).
Recordings with automatic time control (see page 63) are
only possible for the respective first DVB signal source.
Initial installation
Explanations of the setting possibilities:
Decide how energy efficiently you want to operate your
TV set. The value for the contrast (and thus the brightness
of the background lighting) is adapted and the automatic
dimmer activated or deactivated (see page 24) depending
on the presetting.
Eco standard:
The emphasis for home use is on low energy consump-
tion. The automatic dimmer is activated.
Premium mode:
This mode optimises the settings to a brighter environ-
ment at a higher energy consumption. The automatic
dimmer is activated.
Shop mode:
The picture settings are aligned to operation in the presen-
tation room. The automatic dimmer is deactivated. If the
ambient brightness diminishes, the energy consumption
is not reduced.
The presetting can be changed later in the TV menu under
Picture Picture adjustment Presettings (see page 24)
or under Settings Energy efficiency.
Select the country for country-specific pre-settings.
If UK or IRL is selected for the location of TV set, it is
possible to activate MHEG-5 (UK Freeview) for the TV set.
If MHEG-5 was activated, DVB-C and DVB-S can not be
used anymore. Only terrestrial/cable and DVB-T stations
are available.
Caution: Common Interface Plus technology will never
work again after activating MHEG-5.
A dialogue appears, where you can confirm to set the
operating software to the selected location.
If Yes is selected and confirmed with OK, the TV set turns
off and on again automatically. First installation starts
again after activating the operation software.
Antenna/cable (analogue): analogue stations via
cable/antenna
DVB-T: digital terrestrial stations
DVB-C: digital stations via cable
DVB-S (cable 1): digital stations via satellite
DVB-S (cable 2): digital stations via satellite
You can preset the desired languages and reserve lan-
guages for subtitles and audio for DVB programmes here
(see page 45).
In various countries, digital stations (DVB-T, DVB-C) are
transmitted with a preset channel number per station,
known as “Logical Channel Numbers“ – “LCN“. In this
case the preset channel numbers are adopted as station
memory locations and the stations of the preferred signal
source sorted according to LCN. There may be gaps in
the numbering of the station list depending on the LCN.

Positioning/aligning DVB-T antenna
If you are receiving one or more DVB-T stations with picture and sound
interference then you should change the installation location and align-
ment of the antenna. Ask your dealer to tell you which channels are used
to broadcast the DVB-T stations in your region.
➠ In normal TV mode, without other displays.
A DVB-T station is received and selected.
Call TV menu.
Select Settings,
go to the menu line below.
Select Stations,
go to the menu line below.
Select Manual adjustment,
OK call manual adjustment.
The signal source is already on DVB-T due to the station
preselection.
Position and align the antenna in such a manner that
maximum values for C/N and Level are obtained.
Blue button: Start search.
Search for DVB-T stations one after another and compare
values for C/N and Level.
Then position/align the antenna to the weakest station
so that maximum values for C/N and Level are obtained.
Thereafter perform an automatic search for all DVB-T
stations, see page 28.
Explanation of the setting possibilities:
Depending on the selected channel and country the as-
sociated bandwidth will be set automatically.
Start the automatic station search with OK.
The set now searches for TV and DVB radio stations.
The stations found in the automatic search are divided into
the appropriate station blocks depending on the previously
selected antenna cables (signal sources). Subsequently the
stations can only be re-sorted within these blocks. At the
beginning of the station list you will find the block with
the stations of the preferred signal source.
Any mixed sorting of stations from different signal sources
is only possible with the favourites list.
You can specify an age limit for your TV set here. DVB
broadcasts which have an appropriate age identification
are locked and can only be watched after entering the
access code (see page 44).
Then the connection and sound component wizard
starts which helps you to log in, set and connect video
recorders, decoders, a loudspeaker system or a HiFi/AV
amplifier to your TV set. A DVD recorder is already logged
in ex factory.
You can start the connection wizard and the sound
components wizard manually later and add new devices.
Further information is available from page
48 (Connec-
tion wizard) and page
56 (Sound components wizard).
If you have registered and connected a recorder in the
connection wizard, the Digital Link Plus transmission
begins at the end of the sound components wizard. If
a Digital Link Plus capable recorder is connected, the
station list of the analogue stations is transmitted to the
external recorder.
You can also call Digital Link Plus under TV menu Con-
nections Digital Link Plus.
Explanations of the DVB-T antenna:
With good reception conditions a room antenna can be
used for DVB-T (socket ANT2).
Under less favourable reception conditions, it is advisable
to use an active antenna which has to be set accordingly
in the initial installation or in the TV menu Connections
Antenna DVB Antenna DVB-T (see DVB-T antenna
on page 14).
If the location is outside of the normal transmission
range then a directional antenna can be used to improve
reception quality.
