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
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).
The Loewe Digital+ HD 100 platform even allows dual reception of DVB-T,
DVB-C and DVB-S (if MHEG-5 is selected for location of TV set UK or IRL,
DVB-C and DVB-S reception is not possible, see also on page 12).
The TV set is equipped with a Dolby Digital decoder. You can connect
a speaker system (e.g. Loewe Individual Sound) 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 pho-
tos or play music via the integrated PhotoViewer/MusicBox software.
All functions can be controlled 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 settings is displayed automatically. You will quickly comprehend
the context.

About this operating manual
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 69 onwards gives explanations of certain
terms used in the TV set and the operating manual.

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.

nation. The precise features are listed in the Integrated features item in

Welcome
Operating convenience with wizards
This TV set offers user prompting with wizards that take you through the
settings step-by-step.
You can return to the previous step or exit the wizard at any time.
The wizards in overview
Initial installation

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. Never set the TV down on the
protruding control unit on the bottom of the TV set. This could damage
the control unit.
If the set has to be put down during packing/unpacking, place the TV
set with the entire front surface lying flat on a soft underlay such as a
blanket or the felt from the packing material.
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.
Ensure 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 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 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.
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 67). 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.
If you activate the automatic dimming (see page 21), 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.
Batteries
The batteries supplied as initial equipment do not contain
any pollutants such as cadmium, lead, or mercury.
Used batteries should no longer be disposed of in the do-
mestic waste according to the Battery Ordinance. Dispose
of your batteries at no charge in the collection containers
which are set up for this purpose in retail stores.
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 page 68).
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.
Use the cleaning cloth and cleaning agent provided.
The front screen may only be removed by your dealer, even if it is soiled
on the inside.
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.

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).

the channel grid, select frequency search for the search
method.
The symbol rates are specified by the satellite provider
and normally do not need to be changed.
Select the signal source that provides the stations to be on
top of your station list (starting with station slot 1).
Start the automatic station search with OK.
First TV stations, then radio stations are searched for.
The stations found in the automatic search are divided
into the appropriate station blocks depending on the
previously selected antenna cables (signal sources). Sub-
sequently 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.
➠ 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.
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. DVD players and DVD recorders
are already registered at the factory.
You can start the connection wizard and the sound
components wizard manually later and add new devices.
Further information is available from page 40 (Connection
wizard) and page 47 (Sound components wizard).
Initial installation
Explanations of the setting possibilities:
Select the country for country-specific pre-settings.
If UK or IRL is selected for the location of TV set, it is pos-
sible to activate MHEG-5 (UK Freeview) for the TV set.
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.
If MHEG-5 was activated, DVB-C and DVB-S can not be
used anymore. Only terrestrial/cable and DVB-T stations
are available.
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 state whether coded stations are to be searched
for in the search/update. Select yes then coded stations
are also searched for. 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 35.
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 (information 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.
Select which satellite(s) you receive from a list. For more
than one satellite, select the type of your changeover
switch or communal satellite system additionally.
Ask your dealer in this regard.
Specify here whether the high band of the selected satellite
is to be searched in addition to the low band.

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.
34Select Settings,
6go to the menu line below.
34Select Stations,
6go to the menu line below.
34Select 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 24.
Explanation of the setting possibilities:
Depending on the selected channel and country the
associated bandwidth of 7 or 8 MHz will be set auto-
matically.
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 12).
If the location is outside of the normal transmission range
then a unidirectional antenna can be used to improve
reception quality.
