About this user guide
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.
The glossary gives explanations of certain terms used in the TV set
and the user guide.
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.
In the user guide, 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 user guide are examples.
The user guide instructions for your TV set is updated at irregular
intervals. We recommend checking now and then, especially after a
software update.
General information on menu 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 menu operation.
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 in chapter TV, section HbbTV / MediaText.

For your safety, and to avoid unnecessary damage to your unit,
please read and follow the safety advice below:
Use for the intended purpose and ambient conditions
This TV set is intended exclusively for receiving and playing visual and
audio signals. It must not be used in rooms with a high level of humid-
ity (e.g. bathroom, sauna) or a high dust concentration (e.g. work-
shops). The manufacturer‘s warranty is only valid for use in the
specified permissible environment.
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 by 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. Grasp the device on the
upper and lower edges of the housing.
The set is delivered ex factory without a mounting option. 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 such as a blanket or
the fleece from the packing material. Use a blanket or the fleece from
the packing material as an underlay.
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
damaged and liquid crystal might be leaking out. In the case of skin
contact immediately rinse thoroughly with water.
Power supply
Incorrect voltages can damage the unit. This device may only be con-
nected 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 un-
obstructed. Please do not place newspapers or cloths on/over the TV
set.
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, nee-
dles, 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 pos-
sibly cause a fire.
If something should get into the interior of the set then immedi-
ately unplug the mains plug of the device and contact the field service
for more information.
About the LCD screen
The TV set with LCD 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.
Switch off any artificial light sources (e.g., energy saving lamp) between
the TV set and the 3D glasses. These could impair the infrared recep-
tion or the TV picture may flicker as a result.

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 floor stand only on a level, sturdy, horizon-
tal 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
.
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 espe-
cially 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, pro-
gramme 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 enabled for at least one of
the six signal input groups (see chapter Technical Data, section Signal
input groups). This also applies if another energy efficiency mode is
selected during initial installation, but one of the signal input groups is
subsequently set to 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 screen, and the remote control unit with a soft,
moist, clean and colour-neutral cloth only, without any aggressive
or scouring cleaning agents.
For TV sets with textile speaker grill:
Vacuum the surface regularly with a soft brush attachment.
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 pow-
der).
Do not moisten the fabric cover 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
grills having nicotine deposits.
Repairs and accessories
Never remove the back of the TV set yourself. Have your TV set re-
paired or serviced by authorised television technicians only.
Only use original accessories such as Loewe stands, if possible (see
chapter Accessories).

Installing the TV set
Mounting options
Your Loewe specialist dealer can assist you in finding other mounting
options that correspond to your needs. Use exclusively Loewe mount-
ing options (e.g., wall bracket, floor stand), which you will find in the
chapter Accessories, section Mounting options.
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 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 view-
ing distance (e.g., for a 46-inch set approx. 3.5 m for SD signal). The
viewing distance can be reduced with an HD signal.
Set covers
Covers for rear and side connections
In order to remove the rear side cable cover pull them simply from
the device.
To attach the cable cover, place the lugs of the cover at the correspond-
ing cut-outs in the rear panel.
Press the cover into the cutouts until the lugs snap into the device.
Press only on the exact positions where the lugs are (see figure for the
positions), otherwise the glass rear panel may be damaged.
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
connection area. To replace the cover, simply push it until it latches
back into place.
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 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 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 appro-
priate 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.
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) or by a wireless radio connection (WLAN).
Please contact your specialist dealer for more information on Power-
line.
For the network adaptor configuration, see chapter System settings,
section Multimedia / Network– Network settings.
Under no circumstances may the TV set be wired and at the
same time connected by a wireless connection to the same
network, e.g. router. This may cause severe operational faults!
Example for a wired connection
Connect the LAN socket of your TV set to the LAN switch/router of
your home network with a network cable (available from your dealer).
Example for a wireless connection
You can connect the TV set to your home network by a wireless radio
connection via the WLAN antenna inside the set.
Shadow effects of various materials, such as reinforced concrete,
metal surfaces, etc., attenuate the WIFI signal sometimes signifi-
cantly or completely.

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 re-
corded broadcasts. Always return the TV set to Standby mode before
switching it off with the main switch. Never ever disconnect the USB
storage device from the TV set during a copy process.
However, if unexpected problems occur when operating the hard disk,
formatting the hard disk may rectify this. Refer to the instructions in
chapter System settings, section Control – Hard disks. This applies
also to the use of external USB hard disks with the TV set.
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.
