About this operating manual
For best results regarding safety and the longevity of the set, we
recommend you read the chapter For your safety before switching
it on for the first time.
Paragraphs which begin with the symbol indicate important
instructions, 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 quick guide are examples.
In addition to the remote control, a PC keyboard can be connected to
one of the USB ports on your TV and then used to control your TV set.
In the user guide, this symbol indicates places in which
the use of a keyboard is particularly advantageous.
The user guide and the user manual for your TV set are updated at
irregular intervals. We recommend an occasional examination on the
Support Portal of the Loewe homepage (see chapter Miscellaneous,
section Documentation).
General information on the operation of the
TV set
For further information on the user interface and the general operation
of your TV set see chapter General information on the operation.
Interactive data services
In some countries the stations also broadcast interactive data services
with their programmes, leading to the functions of individual keys not
being available or only so to a limited extent. You can find out more
about this in chapter TV, section HbbTV / MediaText.

For your safety, and to avoid unnecessary damage to your unit,
please read and follow the safety instructions below:
Intended use and ambient conditions
This TV set is intended exclusively for receiving and playing visual and
audio signals. The TV set is designed for dry rooms (living rooms and
offices). It must not be operated in rooms with high humidity (for
example bathroom, sauna).
Please note that our TV sets are sensitive to dust and sooty particles
in the ambient air.
Excessive environmental pollutions of this kind can lead to damage of
the device up to a malfunction.
Pay attention to a clean ambient air, so that your device is not damaged.
The cleaning or replacement of the panel is excluded from the warranty
claims in such cases, because it is not a defect of the device, but an
external influence.
If the unit is used outdoors, make sure that it is protected from moisture
(rain, dripping water and splashing water or dew). High humidity and
dust concentrations lead to leakage currents in the device. This can
result in a shock hazard when touching it or even fire.
If you have moved the unit out of the cold into a warm environment,
leave it switched off for about an hour to avoid the formation of
condensation.
Do not place objects containing liquids on top of the unit. Protect
the appliance against dripping and splashing water.
Candles or naked flames must be kept away from the TV set at all times
to prevent it from catching fire.
Never place the TV set in a location where it is exposed to vibrations. This
may lead to damage.
Transporting
Move the device in vertical position only. Get
hold of the device on the upper and lower
edges of the housing.
Do not stand it up on the bottom edge, so as to
reduce the risk of damage and soiling. If the set
has to be put down during packing/unpacking, place the TV set with
its entire front surface lying flat on soft material. Use a blanket or the
fleece from the packing material as an underlay.
The OLED screen is made of glass or plastic and can break if not
handled properly.
Power supply
Incorrect voltages can damage the unit. This device may only be
connected to a power supply with the voltage and frequency indicated
on the type plate using the supplied mains cable. 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 unplugging the unit from the mains,
pull at the connector body and not at the cable. The cables in the mains
plug could otherwise be damaged and could cause a short-circuit when
plugged in again.
Lay the mains cable so that it cannot be damaged. Do not step
on the mains cable. The mains cable may not be kinked or laid over
sharp edges nor be exposed to chemicals; the latter also applies to
the unit as a whole. A mains cable with damaged insulation can cause
electric shocks and poses a fire risk.
Air circulation and high temperatures
The vent slots on the rear panel of the set must always be kept
unobstructed. Please do not place newspapers or cloths on/over the
TV set.
Make sure 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 re-
quires air for cooling. Obstruction of the air cir-
culation can cause fires.
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 the field service for
more information.
About the OLED screen
The TV set with OLED screen you have purchased satisfies the most
rigorous quality requirements and has been inspected with respect
to pixel errors. Despite of thorough care when manufacturing the
display, it cannot be 100% guaranteed that no subpixel defects will
occur due to technical reasons. Please understand that these types
of effects, as long as they are within the limits specified in the standard,
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 visible.
TV sets with 3D function
Read the following safety instructions before using the 3D function
of your TV set.
Please use the Loewe 3D TV sets only with the Loewe 3D glasses which
can be purchased as an accessory from your Loewe dealer.
People with a visual disorder may not be able to perceive 3D effects
or may only be able to perceive them to a limited extent. People who
are sensitive to flickering images (e.g. those with epilepsy) should only
use the 3D function after having consulted their doctor.
It might take some time for you to get used to the 3D glasses and
before you can perceive the 3D effects properly.
Stop using the 3D function immediately if you experience any feelings
of nausea, dizziness or malaise when viewing 3D content.
Supervise children whilst they are viewing 3D content, as they can be
particularly sensitive to it.
Allow more time for a break after having watched 3D movies, so that
you are able to relax. Failure to do so could result in headaches, fatigue,
dizziness or malaise.
Position yourself comfortably in front of the 3D TV set and ensure that
you are seated firmly. By doing this, you will avoid any injuries that may
occur due to reacting to extreme 3D content.

For your safety
Set-up
Loewe flatscreen TV sets are specified for Loewe accessories. The TV
set is suitable for mounting in many different ways. Note the assembly
instructions regarding the different possible mounting options.
When using accessories from other manufacturers take care that the
TV set can be easily inclined or rotated on the respective mounting
option.
For mounting options from other manufacturers with motor drive,
make sure that the TV set cannot be rotated manually. The use of
mounting options from other manufacturers with locks in certain
positions is generally discouraged.
When rotating the TV set it is essential to
ensure that the pressure exerted on the device
frame is not too large. Especially in case of
large-format displays there is a risk to damage
the screen.
Before setting up the device, please check that the final location is
suitable to bear the load of the device in terms of surface (sensitivity
to pressure) and stability (statics).
This is particularly the case for the high-gloss painted surfaces and
surfaces that are made from real wood / real wood veneer or plastic
surfaces.
Place 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.
Place the TV set in a normal position for use. TV set may only be used
in an upright horizontal position. It may not be tilted by more than 10
degrees. The TV set must never be operated in portrait position, lying
flat or hanging overhead from the ceiling.
Set up the device where it is not exposed to direct insolation and where
it is not exposed to additional heating by radiators
.
When using the VESA mounting points (1, please refer to the informa-
tion in chapter Miscellaneous, section VESA standard.
Supervision
Do not let children operate the TV set unsupervised and do not
let them loiter and play close to the 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.
Thunder storms
Pull out the mains plug and all connected antenna cables from the TV
set in a thunderstorm. Overvoltage caused by lightning strokes 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 periods of absence.
±10°
D
Automatic shutdown
If the TV is not operated for 4 hours (adjustment of volume, programme
change, etc.) the TV will automatically switch to stand-by mode to save
energy. A prompt to terminate this shutdown process appears one
minute before expiry of the 4 hours.
The automatic shutdown is active in the energy efficiency mode
Home Mode.
Automatic shutdown does not occur when using the radio without
screen display (screen off).
Cleaning and care
Switch off the TV set with the main switch prior to cleaning.
Clean the TV set, the front screen and the remote control unit with a
soft, moist, clean and colour-neutral cloth only, without any aggressive
or scouring cleaning agents.
In the case of dirt on the inside, the front screen can be removed (see
chapter Miscellaneous, section Screen cleaning).
The speaker panel of your TV set is covered with textile. Vacuum the
surface regularly using a soft brush set.
In case of dirt or stains:
Moisten a soft, colour-neutral cloth with detergent or normal stain
remover and gently rub away the stain. You can also treat the mark/
stain directly with normal dry stain remover spray (vacuum up
powder).
Do not moisten the covering fabric directly with detergent or stain
remover (risk of encrustation). Do not use any solvents to clean the
fabric.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using stain removers.
There is an increased risk of encrustation when cleaning speaker
panels with nicotine deposits.
Repairs and accessories
Never remove the back of the TV set yourself. Have your TV
set repaired or serviced by authorised television technicians only.
Only use original accessories such as Loewe stands, if possible.
Technical information
Switching off the TV set with the mains switch during operation or
an inadvertent disruption to the power supply (e.g., power failure)
can cause damage to the hard disk file system and hence loss of the
recorded broadcasts.
Never ever disconnect the USB storage device from the TV set during
a copy process. Before switching off the set with the mains switch, we
recommend you to switch it to standby mode.
However, if unexpected problems occur when operating the hard
disk, formatting the hard disk may rectify this. You can find the
corresponding menu items under System settings טControl ט
more...טHard disks.
Loewe are not liable for the loss of data on the integrated hard disk
of your TV set. To avoid data loss, we recommend copying important
recordings to an external storage medium.

Installing the TV set
Mounting options / Installation notes
Your Loewe dealer can also assist you in finding other mounting
options. Look for the corresponding directions in the installation
instruction.
The four round self-adhesive covers that are supplied with the TV set,
are used as a cover of the four rear panel openings when installing the
TV with Floor Stand Reference 75 / 85 MU.
Choose a place for installing your TV set where no bright light or
sunlight shines directly onto the screen. This could cause reflections
which impair the picture.
3 times the screen diagonal can be taken as a guide value for the
viewing distance (e.g., for a 55-inch set approx. 4.2 m for SD signal).
The viewing distance can be reduced with an HD/UHD signal.
Preparing the Loewe Wall Mount 7
With the enclosed Loewe Wall Mount 7 installation option, you can
easily attach your TV set to the wall.
First attach the support plate on the rear panel of the TV set. Pay
attention to the correct alignment of the openings (arrows on picture
1 and 2) and use the enclosed screws.
Loewe Wall Mount 7 for wall mounting
Now attach the bracket to the wall. Use appropriate dowels and screws
and the enclosed drilling template. Ensure a horizontal orientation.
Finally, hang your bild7 with the two retaining bolts in the openings of
the bracket (cf.. detailed figure).

Connecting the TV set
Connecting to the mains supply
Remove the cover for the connections.
Connect the TV set to a 220-240V mains socket:
First plug the smaller plug (small connector) of the power cord into
the AC inlet (AC IN) on the TV set, and then the larger connector (Euro
plug) into a mains socket.
Connecting antennas
Cable (analogue) / DVB-C / DVB-T antenna:
Plug the cable of antenna, cable TV system or room antenna into the
ANT TV socket.
If you want to use analogue cables / DVB-C connection and a DVB-T
antenna together, use an external antenna switch (available from
your dealer).
Satellite antenna DVB-S:
Depending on the used satellite system, connect a connecting cable
from the multi-switch or directly from the LNC to the ANT-SAT and
ANT-SAT2 sockets of the TV set respectively.
When connecting the TV set to a single cable community antenna,
connect the ANT-SAT and ANT-SAT2 sockets directly to the
appropriate SAT antenna socket.
When connecting the TV set to a DiSEqC single cable community
antenna (in accordance with EN 50494), connect the ANT-SAT
socket directly to the appropriate SAT antenna socket.
In case of a DiSEqC one cable communal system you require only
one antenna cable. Further distribution of the signal to the two
reception routes is accomplished by the TV set’s satellite tuner.
It is possible, however, to continue using an existing SAT cabling
with two antenna cables in a DiSEqC one cable communal system.
If two transmission channels of the DiSEqC single cable community
exist, one system channel is used per satellite antenna cable.
Ask your dealer in this regard.
Connecting the TV set to the Home network
You may link your TV set to the home network by a wired connection
(Ethernet, Powerline adapters separately available) or by a wireless
radio connection (WLAN). For wireless connections, the TV set has
