Thank you
for choosing a Loewe TV set!
Loewe stands for the highest demands in technology, design and user
friendliness. This applies equally for TV, video and accessories.
In addition to the elegant design and the many different possible colour
combinations and installation possibilities, your Loewe TV set also offers
many technological options.
Loewe Image+
State-of-the-art Full-HD-LCD-displays with LED-Backlight Technology. The
advantage of the LED-Backlight is in the reduced energy consumption and
high contrast values.
24p films played by a connected HDMI unit can be displayed optimally.
Loewe Sound+
Loewe Sound+contains sound processors that are optimally calibrated
to the TV set and boasts a closed coverage construction type for the
integrated loudspeakers.
Many Loewe TV sets are fitted with a digital multi-channel audio decoder
for impressive 5.1 surround sound.
Loewe Media+
You can reach the MediaPortal via the MEDIA button on your remote control,
giving you access to all multimedia functions of your TV set.
Loewe DR+
If the hard disc recorder DR+(1 is integrated into your TV set, you can
record TV programmes simply at the press of a button. Programmes
currently being watched can be interrupted, rewound and played back
from the desired point if needed.

About this operating manual
For best results regarding safety and the longevity of the set, we recom-
mend you read the chapter For your safety (page 8) before switching
it on for the first time.
The functions of the Loewe TV set are largely self-explanatory. However,
should you have any questions, the integrated index and the info display
(see page 15) can assist you further.
The index/glossary from page 152 onwards gives explanations of certain
terms used in the TV set and the operating manual.
Paragraphs which begin with the symbol ➠indicate important instruc-
tions, 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.
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 (see also page 136).
In the operating manual, this symbol indicates places in
which the use of a keyboard is particularly advantageous.
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.
The operating instructions for your TV set are updated at irregular
intervals. We recommend checking now and then, especially after a
software update.
Interactive data services
In some countries the stations also broadcast interactive data services
with their programmes, leading to the functions of individual buttons
not being available or only so to a limited extent. You can find out more
about this from page 84 onwards.
Welcome

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
liquids on top of the appliance. Pro-
tect the appliance against dripping
and splashing water.
Candles or naked flames must be kept
away from the appliance at all times
to prevent it from catching fire.
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. If the table stand is not installed
(e.g. if the unit is to be installed on a wall), then under no circumstances
should you set down the TV set on the protruding control unit on the
underside.
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.
Always wear rubber gloves to carry the TV set if the LCD screen is dam-
aged and liquid crystal might be leaking out. 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.
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.
Automatic shutdown (only in Home Mode)
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 min-
ute before expiry of the 4 hours. The automatic shutdown is only active
in the energy efficiency mode Home Mode. Automatic shutdown does
not occur when using the radio without screen display (screen off).

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 146.
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.
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.
Despite our thorough care when manufacturing the display, it cannot be
100% guaranteed that no subpixel defects will be present due to techni-
cal reasons. 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.
Avoid displaying still images for long periods of time. It is possible that
a copy of the image may remain.
Cleaning and care
➠ Switch off the TV set at the main switch before 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.
Sets with glass screens may be cleaned with a conventional glass cleaner.
TV sets with 3D function
Read the following safety instructions before using the 3D function of
your TV set.
Please only use Loewe 3D glasses (see Accessories on page 146) in
conjunction with Loewe 3D TV sets.
People that have a visual disorder may not be able to perceive 3D effects
or may only be able to perceive them to a limited extent. People that are
sensitive to flickering images (e.g. those with epilepsy) should only use
this product 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 devices 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 when viewing 3D films, so that you are able
to relax. Failure to do this 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
arise due to reacting to extreme 3D content.
Switch off any artificial light sources (e.g. energy saving lamp) between
the TV set and the 3D glasses. These could impair the infrared reception
or the TV picture may flicker as a result.
Installation
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.
Place the TV set in a normal position for use. The 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 vertically, lying flat or
hanging overhead from the ceiling.
Set up the device where it is not exposed to direct sunlight and where it
is not exposed to additional warming through heating elements.
For your safety

Connecting the TV Set
Connecting to the mains
Remove the cover for the connections.
Connect the TV set to a 220-240V mains socket:
First plug the small plug of the power cable into the mains connection
on the back of the TV and then the large mains plug into a mains socket.
Connecting antennas
Cable (analogue) / DVB-C / DVB-T antenna:
Plug the antenna cable of antenna, cable 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:
If the TV set is equipped with a Single or Twin satellite tuner (means of up-
grade kit / conversion kit), the ANT-SAT and ANT-SAT2 sockets are available.
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, con-
nect the ANT-SAT and ANT-SAT2 sockets directly to the appropriate SAT
antenna socket. Ask your dealer if required.
Installing the TV set
Installation options
Your TV set is supplied equipped with a table stand. Further set-up solu-
tions are available for purchase from your Loewe dealer. Only use Loewe
installation solutions (e.g. wall mounts, floor stand) that are included in
the Accessories – Setup possibilities chapter on page 149.
After selecting an installation option, read the appropriate assembly
instructions.
Installation notes
Choose a place for installing your TV 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 or the view-
ing distance (e.g. for 40-inch set approx. 3m for SD signal). The viewing
distance can be reduced with an HD signal.
Set covers
Covers for rear and side connections
To remove the rear cable cover, pull the two recessed handles at the
bottom and drop down the cover.
To fit the cover, insert the lugs at the top edge of the cover into the corre-
sponding cut-outs in the rear panel and push up the cover until it snaps in.
The side cover of the TV set can also be completely removed. For this,
open it as far as it will go and gently pull on the open cover.
The cover detaches from the holder and gives free access to the con-
nection area. To replace the cover, simply push it until it latches back
into place.
