Operating instructions
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 7) 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 149 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 134).
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 82 onwards.

Welcome
(1
Depending on the type of TV set (equipment and upgrade options, see page 144).
Thank you

Loewe stands for the highest demands in technology, design and user
friendliness. This applies equally for TV, video and accessories.
In addition to sleek design and a varied combination of colour and
mounting choices, your Loewe TV set offers a host of 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

currently being watched can be interrupted, rewound and played back
from the desired point if needed.

Operating instructions
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 fa-
cilities, 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.
Protect the appliance against drip-
ping 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.
The lower edge of the appliance has a speaker mesh covered with
fabric. Please note that jewellery, rough or dirty hands or similar can
damage or soil this fabric mesh. We recommend wearing gloves when
transporting the appliance.
The set is delivered ex factory without a mounting option. Do not stand
it up on the bottom edge, so as to reduce the risk of damage and soil-
ing. 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 cir-
culation, 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 circulation 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
minute before expiry of the 4 hours.
The automatic shutdown is generally active for the TV mode as soon as
the energy efficiency mode Home Mode is activated for at least one of
the six signal input groups (see page 150). This also applies if another
energy efficiency mode is selected when putting into operation for
the first time (see page 22), but one of the six signal input groups is
subsequently set to Home Mode.
Automatic shutdown does not occur when using the radio without
screen display (screen off).

For your safety
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 143) 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, diz-
ziness 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 mounting in many different ways. Note the assembly
instructions regarding the different possible mounting options.
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.
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 143.
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.
±10°
D
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
periods 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
technical 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, clean and colour-neutral cloth only, without any aggressive or
scouring cleaning agents.
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 re-
mover (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.

Installing the TV set
Mounting options
Your Loewe specialist dealer can assist you in finding other mounting
options that correspond to your needs. Use exclusive Loewe mounting
options (e.g., wall mount, floor stand), which you will find in the chapter
entitled Accessories - Mounting options on page 145.
After you have decided on a mounting option, follow the directions
found in the corresponding 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 for 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

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
corresponding 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.

nection area. To replace the cover, simply push it until it latches back
into place.
