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.
