Welcome
Thank you For your safety
for deciding to purchase a Loewe product. We
are pleased to welcome you as a client.
Loewe products offer sophisticated technology,
design and ease of use. This applies to TV,
video, hifi components and accessories.
Our approach is not one of technology or design
for its own sake. We strive to give our clients
the maximum in visual and audio pleasure.
Our designs never follow short-term fashion
trends. After all, you have purchased a piece of
highest quality equipment, you do not want
something which dates after only a short time.
About this manual
To access the functions described in this manual
press the button shown on the left of the
explanation.
Button Explanation
Store data
To check your actions the display line is
represented in « ».
The remote control pictures show those buttons
encircled that are used in the described chapter.
For your own safety and to prevent unnecessary
damage you should protect your video recorder,
remote control and cassettes from the following:
●water and humidity
●Unnecessary knocks and loads
●magnetic and electrical fields
●cold, heat, direct sunlight and high fluctuation
in temperature
●dust
●obstructing the ventilation
●unqualified tampering.
We have designed your new video recorder
strictly for use in the domestic environment.
Your guarantee covers normal use of the
equipment.
Your video recorder can be damaged by
lightning strikes via the aerial connection or
power supply. During thunderstorms and in long
periods of absence please disconnect both aerial
and power cables.
Any repair should be carried out by an
authorised Loewe Service dealer only.
Read this operation manual and try out the
features of your new video recorder to get to
know it better.
Install the recorder horizontally and ensure that
there is enough free space for ventilation.
If the video recorder is brought from a cold to a
warm environment, leave it unused for about
one hour because of possible condensation.
Switch it on when room temperature has been
reached. This prevents any damage to recorder
or cassette.
Your attention is drawn to the fact that
recording of pre-recorded tapes or discs or other
published or broadcasted material may infringe
copyright laws.
Only clean the set with a slightly moist, soft and
clean cloth (without any acid cleaning
detergents).

First installation
Antenna lead Scart-AV lead Mains supply
Remove the antenna connector from your TV set
and insert it into the upper antenna socket
of the video recorder.
Use the enclosed antenna lead to connect the
lower antenna socket TV with the antenna input
of the TV set.
This connection is necessary to supply the
receiver of the recorder with antenna signals.
You can operate your video recorder using 220
up to 240 Volt AC and 50 Hz.
Using the mains cable provided, first connect
the AC input of your video recorder and then
connect to the wall socket.
If you switch off the recorder it will not be
separated from the mains power. If you want to
separate it from mains, you will have to
disconnect it.
Connect the Scart socket AV1/EXT1 of the video
recorder with the Scart-AV1 socket of the
television set.
The Scart cable is the best kind of connection
with your televison set. You have the best
quality for picture and sound and also the
transmission of stereo sound. If your television
has Surround Sound, you can also enjoy that,
when playing back a Surround Sound Recording.
The Standard Specification Scart cable also
transmits the remote control signal received
from Loewe TV sets. It controls the recorder
even when placed behind a door, see “Digital
Link“.
When your TV is featured with “Digital Link
Plus“ (Easy Link etc.) to download the TV
program, you need a special Scart cable. It must
be fully connected (21 pins) or must be
equipped at least with one additional data lead
(pin 10), see “Digital Link Plus“.
The required Scart cable is available at your
dealers. The recorder ViewVision 6376 H comes
with a Scart cable.

Timer advice
•Timer recordings can only start when the video
recorder is switched off.
•Date and time (year!) must be set correctly on
the video recorder.
•Set daily recordings (Monday to Friday) in
position «DATE» with AUDIO button ,
indication «MO-FR».
Switch further to weekly recordings beginning
with the day of the set date e.g. «MO».
Further switch back to date input.
•Longplay (LP) recordings are made with half of
the standard tape speed (SP). This doubles the
recording time. Set tape speed in position
«END» with button LP.
•When «SWITCH TO STANDBY - TIMER
RECORDING» appears on the screen, follow
the advice. Switch off the recorder. Then the
timer recording will start.
•During a timer recording you can stop
recording with the off button O. This also
cancels the running timer programming.
•VPS or PDC is a service provided by the
broadcasting stations. It allows perfectly timed
timer recordings even when broadcasts are
delayed. You have to set the exact starting
time or when specified the VPS/PDC time.
•If the entered start time is different from the
VPS/PDC time, you will have to switch off
VPS/PDC. Otherwise the recorder will not
record at all.
•Instead of recording with the VTR tuner, you
can use your TV tuner. This makes sense when
your TV is equipped with an integrated
Satreceiver. The TV must be connected to the
VCR’s socket AV1/EXT1 and you must select
input E1.

shown briefly.
Counter reset to zero.
When exchanging the cassette this is
done automatically.
The counter stops when playback of a totally
unrecorded part of the tape is done.
On the VTR display, time left is shown with a
minus bar for identification.
Index search
With index search, standard for the VHS system,

wind button simultaneously. The
begin of next recording is searched and
the playback is started, indication
«INDEX NEXT».
or:
Press down OK button and press the
rewind button simultaneously. This
way you search the beginning of the

recorded before.

Archive System
This provides a detailed knowledge of the
contents of your cassettes and fast access to
your recordings made on this recorder.
Cassettes recorded on another video recorder,
cannot be added to the archive, even not when
erased before. Only new, absolutely unused
cassettes can be added to the archive system.
Keep in mind, that video cassettes suffer from
high abrasion. Mainly high temperatures cause
damage to the mechanical stability of the tape.
So allow your new video recorder to have a set
of new cassettes and you will be rewarded with
a maximum of picture quality.
Once added to the archive, of course you can
record on the cassette again and again. The old
titles will be replaced by the new ones.
Do not use cassettes of your archive for
recordings on other video recorders, to keep the
title listing working.
The archive memory has maximum capacity of
150 cassettes with together 210 titles. When
«ARCHIVE MANAGER – MEMORY FULL» or
«NO MORE TITLES CAN BE ADDED» appears,
you have to remove unimportant cassettes from
the archive.
Adding cassettes to the archive
Switch your TV to monitor mode.
Insert a new cassette, that was never
used before.
On screen appears «CHECKING CASSETTE». and
then: «THIS CASSETTE IS EMPTY».
Follow the request to add the cassette to the
archive:
Press the OK button.
The cassette is now registered in the archive
with the next free cassette number. Then it is
ejected that you can mark it with that number.
All recordings on this cassette, made with your
new video recorder, will be stored in the archive
system with title (when transmitted by the
station), recording date and running time. So
they will be easy to be found.
End with menu button.
Removing cassettes from
the archive
You can remove e.g. a defect cassette from the
archive easily:
Switch your TV to monitor mode.
Switch the VTR menu on.
Mark and select «ARCHIVE MANAGER».
Mark and select «REMOVE A CASSETTE
NR.».
Select the cassette number.
Start erasing.
Confirm erasing and/or…
…close the menus.
Find title or blank position
After inserting a registered cassette, the cassette
number and the listing of all recorded titles will
appear on screen.
Select the cassette with the recording
that you wish to see.
Mark the title of your recording or the
blank position you look for.
Select the marked item.
The recorder searches for the beginning of your
recording and starts playback automatically.
Or it stops at the beginning of a blank tape area
when you had chosen «EMPTY».
When you select a recording from another
cassette, the inserted cassette is ejected. Follow
the on screen request and insert the needed
cassette. Automatic search and playback of the
desired recording will follow.
If you wish to stop searching, use the
Exit button.
When inserting a cassette, not registered in
your archive, the on screen menu will not
appear. If you wish to see a listing of the
recordings on this tape, see the following
chapter. But it is faster to find the recording by
index search, see Page 13.

Digital Link Plus
Your new video recorder is featured with Digital
Link Plus. In connection with a television, also
featured with Digital Link Plus (Easy Link or
others), data can be exchanged between TV and
VTR:
• The video recorder takes over the complete
station programming in the VHF and UHF
range and for special channels from the
television.
• Switching on the recorder to play or menu
mode switches on the TV in monitor mode.
• If your television has NexTView-Link you can
program timer recordings on your TV and
transfer them to the video recorder.
It is necessary to use a full connected (21 pin)
Scart cable or one with an additional data lead
(pin 10).
