Welcome
Thank you,
for choosing a Loewe product.
We are very happy to have you as a customer.
Loewe combines high quality in technology,
design and user friendliness. This applies
equally for TV, video and accessories.
Neither the technology nor the design are an
end in themselves but serve to give our
customers pure watching and listening
enjoyment.
We have not allowed ourselves to be led astray
by short-lived fashion trends in the design. You
have, after all, purchased a high-quality piece
of equipment which you don’t want to get tired
of looking at tomorrow or the day after .
About the set
We have designed the TV set in such a way
that it is easy to operate with menus. If
you need information about how to
operate it, just display the info texts with
the i button, you will soon get a grasp of
the relationships.
You will find the answers to many
technical questions in the index of your TV
set. If it’s a matter of operating the TV, you
can access a function directly from the
index. This saves you from having to read
through detailed operating instructions
and is the reason why this operating
manual you are reading only explains the
most important operating steps.
With the remote control, you can operate three
Loewe units, this TV, a Loewe video recorder
and a Loewe DVD player.
TV equipment
This operating manual describes the maximum
equipment.
Functions marked by Sare not available in all TV
sets.
The illustrated menu contents may vary
depending on the TV equipment.
You can find out what equipment your TV has
in the main information – Technical spec. of TV
set.
Setup and cleaning
Please note that the feet of the TV set could
leave marks on soft wood furniture (e.g. deal,
pine, fir etc.) due to the weight and moving the
set about.
The plastic material of the feet contains
softeners which could in some cases etch the
surfaces of furniture.
In such cases you should place a firm underlay
about the same size as the base of the TV set
underneath it.
Please also read and observe the safety
instructions on the following pages.
Make sure no bright light or sunlight falls on
the screen and impairs the picture by
reflections.
Cleaning
Clean the TV set and the remote control only
usingwith only a damp, soft, clean cloth (never
use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents).
Disposal
Packing and box
You have chosen a very high-quality, long-
lasting piece of technical equipment. In
compliance with national regulations, we have
paid a fee to authorized disposal companies
who will collect the packing from the dealers.
Nevertheless we recommend that you keep the
original box and packing material so that the
TV set has optimum protection if you have to
transport it.
The TV set
Please consult your dealer for environmentally
friendly disposal of the TV set.

For your own safety
For your own safety and in order to avoid
unnecessarily damaging your TV set, please
read and observe the following safety
instructions:
•This TV set is designed exclusively for
receiving and reproducing audio and visual
(AV) signals.
•It is designed for the home or office and
may not be used in rooms with high
humidity (e.g. bathroom, sauna) or a high
concentration of dust (e.g. workshops). If
the TV set is occasionally used outdoors,
you should make sure that is protected from
water (rain, splashing, dew). High moisture
and dust concentrations produce creep
currents in the set which can lead to danger
of electric shock or fire.
The manufacturer’s warranty is only valid
for use of the TV set in the specified
permissible environment.
•This set may only be connected to a power
supply with the voltage and frequency
specified on the rating plate using the
enclosed power cable. The wrong voltages
can damage the set.
•If the set is moved from a cold environment
to a warm room, condensation forms on all
parts of the set. Moisture produces creep
currents in the set which can cause a fire. In
this case, you should leave the set for a
reasonable time to acclimatize (when the
condensation on the screen has evaporated)
before switching it on.
•Like every piece of electronic equipment,
your TV needs air for cooling. Obstructing
the air supply to the set can cause fires. The
air vents on the back of the TV set must
always be kept free. Do not leave
newspapers or cloths lying on the TV set.
The air supply is also impaired when the TV
set is placed on a blanket or a thick pile
carpet.
If the TV set is placed in a cabinet or on a
shelf, at least 5 cm clearance at the sides
and at least 10 cm at the top must be left to
allow air to circulate.
Stand the TV set in a place where it is not
exposed to direct sunlight or additional
heating from radiators.
•Magnetic fields influence the picture quality
of the TV set. Therefore, dDo not place
loudspeakers or other magnetic sources
immediately next to the TV set.
•Avoid dropping metal objects, needles,
paper clips, liquids, wax or similar into the
air vents at the back of the set. This causes
short circuiting of the set and could start a
fire. If anything should get inside the set,
switch it off immediately, pull out the plug
and call the after-sales service to check it.
Do not place vases filled with water, lighted
candles etc. on the top of the TV set.

For your own safety
•You should never attempt to remove the
rear panel of the TV yourself. The set
operates with high voltages which could be
fatal. Leave repairs and servicing of your TV
set to authorized TV technicians.
•Due to the picture tube, TV sets have their
center of gravity fairly near to the front. The
TV set therefore has a tendency to tip
forward relatively easily which could cause
injury to persons.
Only stand the TV set on a level, firm base.
The set must stand on all feet. The TV
should not overhang particularly when it is
placed in a cabinet or on a shelf.
If the TV is placed on a stand, makes sure
this is larger than the surface area of the
base of the TV.
When using turntables and drawer shelves,
make sure they have a sufficient load
capacity.
We recommend you to use only original
parts, e.g. Loewe racks and stands.
If the TV set is placed on a console with
castors, move the console carefully because
the console and the TV could tip over.
Consoles with castors may considerably
reduce the stability of the sets placed on
them so only use consoles specially
designed and approved for the TV.
Never allow children to handle the TV set
unsupervised.
Do not allow children to play close to the TV
set, they could knock, push or pull it from
the stand and injure someone.
•Do not place the TV anywhere where it may
be exposed to vibrations because this can
lead to overloading of materials.
•Do not leave the TV on unsupervised.
•Pull out the antenna and mains plugs
during a thunderstorm. Surge voltages from
lighting strikes can damage the set both
through the antenna system and the mains.
You should also pull out the antenna and
mains plugs during long periods of absence.
•The mains plug of the TV must be easily
accessible so that it can be disconnected
from the mains quickly at any time.
•Lay the power cable so that it cannot be
damaged. The power cable may not be
kinked or laid over sharp edges, and may
not be walked over or exposed to chemicals;
the latter applies for the entire TV set. A
power cable with defective insulation can
lead to electric shocks and is a fire risk.
•When you pull out the mains plug, do not
tug the cable but hold the housing of the
plug. The cables in the mains plug could be
damaged and cause a short circuit the next
time it is plugged in.

If, for example, you cannot receive any EPG
providers and no DVB is installed in the TV set,
you should switch off the data acquisition.
Performing data acquisition
The data must be collected first after these
settings or every time the TV is switched off. To
do this, select the program which you have
defined as a provider and leave it switched on
for about one hour or switch the TV set to
standby mode. The green LED lights up in
addition to the red LED after about two minutes.
Data acquisition takes about one hour, in sets
with a DVB module a little longer. The data are
automatically collected between 2 and 5 in the
morning when the TV is switched off to standby.
Defining personal topics
You will find the programs that interest you
faster when you define your personal topics.
Mark ”Select personal topics” in the EPG menu
and put together your list of personal topics.
Radio mode
You can switch the radio mode on and off with
the Lbutton. If at least one satellite tuner and
possibly a DVB module are installed in your TV
set, you will be able to receive radio stations. If
none of these additional modules is installed,
you can only select the audio inputs and play
back through these with the station table or the
g h buttons.
Modes of operation
Selecting stations for EPG
Select the stations here for which information is
to be collected.

You can also change or delete timer data.
In the ”Connections” menu you can log other AV
equipment on or off and make a ”Digital Link
Plus data transfer. This serves to transfer the
transmitter data of the TV set (not satellite
stations) to the Digital Link Plus VCR.
Digital Link Plus VCRs have the possibility for
transferring the station data from the TV set to
the VCR via the Euro-AV cable (not for satellite
stations). Every time you change the station
memory of the TV, you are asked whether you
want to make a data transfer.
The receiver unit of the VCR is always used for
recording with a Digital Link Plus video recorder
(not satellite stations) and the tuner of the TV set
is available for watching TV.
Loewe VCRs also have Digital Link, a system for
controlling Loewe VCRs via the Euro-AV cable. If
the Loewe VCR only has Digital Link, the TV tuner
is used for recording. If you have installed your
Loewe VCR in a concealed place, you can operate
the Loewe VCR with the remote control. Operati-
on with the control bar also works with Digital
Link.
Digital Link must be switched on on the
video recorder.
Only use fully wired Euro-AV cables, otherwise
Digital Link or Digital Link Plus will not work.

Video playback
In order to see the VCR picture on your TV and
hear its sound you have several possibilities:
1. You can use the Euro-AV sockets on the TV
set and on the VCR. This is the best option of
all – good picture and sound quality.
If you are playing back from a VCR with
Digital Link Plus, the VCR picture is shown on
the current station slot.
If you are playing back from a standard VCR,
DVD player or camcorder, select the AV
socket to which the video signal is connected
in the AV selection list or the station table.
Video recorders emit a switching voltage
during playback which the TV set can decode
(can be activated for every VCR in the
connection wizard). Then the VCR picture is
shown on the current station slot as in Digital
Link Plus VCR’s.
2. You use the antenna connection between the
VCR and the TV set.The sound is only
broadcast in mono.To do this, select the first
menu item, e.g.VCR, in the AV selection list.

Your TV set has a socket for an IR Link (IR) and
a cable with a jack and IR emitting diode is
also supplied.
This enables you to control most other remotely
controlled devices, such as a concealed d-Box
or a video from a different manufacturer, by
using the TV set’s remote control. Insert the
jack of the infrared emitting diode cable into
the IR socket on the back of your TV. The infra-
red emitting diode on the end of this cable
must be placed in front of the concealed device.
For transmission, the TV must be switched on.
Burl tape is supplied to help when laying the
cables. The burl tape is self-adhesive; remove
the protective film. Affix the burl tape on the
wall of the shelf or cabinet and press the cable
into the burl tape. The burl tape can be split
Into several pieces using a knife. To operate the
concealed video recorder, point the infrared
remote control at the TV set.
