Welcome
Thank you!
At Loewe, we combine the highest standards of technology, design and user friendliness. This applies equally for TV, video and accessories.
Your new TV set is ideally equipped for the TV standard of the future - “HDTV“ (High Definition Television). With its high-resolution screen and the future-proof digital interfaces HDMI, you have the option to view HD content with excellent picture quality. It therefore carries the European quality mark “HD ready“. Digital TV is steadily spreading via terrestrial reception, in the cable network and via satellite. Loewe supplies sets equipped with DVB-T and DVB-C (DVB-C not for
UK). A digital satellite tuner (DVB-S) can be retrofitted. The DVB integrated within the TV set is operated via the TV set menus using the remote control.
We have designed this TV set so that it is easy to operate by using menus. Information about settings in menus is shown automatically; this enables you to understand the context quickly.
You will find the answers to many of your technical queries in the index of your TV. If you want to operate the TV, you can access functions directly from the index. This saves you from having to read through detailed operating instructions and is the reason why this operating manual only explains the most important operating steps.
Integrated features
The maximum equipment is described in these operating instructions. Functions indicated by are not available in all TV sets. Menu contents may differ from the ones shown, depending on how your TV is equipped.
You can display how your set is equipped in the “Integrated features“ index (press the INFO button in the TV mode if no menu is displayed; the “Integrated features“ menu item is also displayed in the index before the initial letter A).
There are separate operating instructions for Digital Recorder +.
Scope of delivery

Transporting
Only transport the unit in an upright position. Hold the set by the top and bottom edges of the housing. The plasma/LCD screen is made of glass and/or plastic and may break if not handled carefully. Should the LCD screen become damaged or should the liquid crystal begin to leak, then it is imperative you wear rubber gloves when removing the set. Should the liquid come in contact with your skin, thoroughly rinse with water immediately.

Welcome
Note on the plasma screen (Xelos A 42 and Modus L 42)
IMPORTANT!
PLASMA SCREEN TECHNOLOGY IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THE DISPLAY OF FIXED IMAGES FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME.
A fixed image displayed for an extended period can cause permanent “image retention” to appear on your Plasma screen.
Examples of fixed images include logos, video games, computer images, teletext, interactive applications and images displayed in 4:3 mode etc. If using such applications it is advised to reduce the “Contrast” setting to minimise the risk of image retention. It is recommended that these images are not displayed for long periods.
Note: Permanent “image retention” on a Plasma TV resulting from fixed image use is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by the warranty.
You will be reminded of this warning through an on screen message after switch on. It will not appear if it is deactivated in the menu. To do this press “Menu“ followed by selection of “Settings“ – “Miscellaneous“ –“On screen displays“
– “Automatic Info.“ then finally select “No“, alternatively it will automatically stop appearing after the menu has been entered twenty times.
The TV set with plasma screen you have purchased meets the highest quality requirements and has been tested for pixel errors. Despite the utmost caution in production of the displays, it cannot be totally ruled out that some of the pixels might not light up for technological reasons. Please understand that such effects cannot be considered a unit defect as defined by the warranty as long as they are within the limits specified by the standard.
For plasma screens, the emission of light decreases the longer the unit is used. Plasma screens work by using phosphor. In certain operating conditions, this technology may facilitate image burns. These operating conditions include:
•Lengthy, continuous display of a freeze picture (>10 minutes).
•Constant display of the same background.
•Use of a format that does not entirely fill the screen (such as 4:3) for a longer period of time.
Once an image is burnt into the display, it is usually not possible to remedy the problem; this situation is neither covered by the warranty nor by the guarantee. To avoid or reduce image burns on your screen, please follow these instructions and recommendations:
•During the first 100 hours of operation, you should display moving pictures for the most part or freeze pictures that change frequently; these images are to fill the entire screen.
•Use your screen in a full-screen format (16:9).
•If you use the screen as a PC monitor, always activate the screen saver.
•Switch the TV set off when it is not being used.
•Reduce the contrast and brightness as much as possible.
The “DRM“ function (Digital Refresh Mode), which can be called in this set, may be able to eliminate or reduce minor visible effects.
Call up the Index using the INFO button on the remote control, select “DRM (Digital Refresh Mode)“ and start the Refresh mode by pressing the OK button. Alternating full-screen colour images will be displayed now instead of the TV picture. Run the Refresh mode for about as long as a freeze picture was displayed earlier. End the Refresh mode by pressing any button on the remote control.
Any effects resulting from an excessively long display of a freeze frame cannot be reversed using the “DRM“ function.
Cleaning
Use only a soft, clean, damp cloth to clean the TV set, the screen and remote control (do not use any caustic or abrasive cleaning agents).
Disposal
Packing and box

For your safety
For your safety and to avoid unnecessary damage to your TV set, please read and observe the following safety instructions:
•This TV set is designed exclusively for reception and reproduction of video and audio signals.
• This equipment is designed for domestic and office environments and must not be used in rooms with high humidity (e.g. bathroom, sauna) or high concentrations of dust (e.g.
workshops). If the equipment is used in the open air, ensure that
it is protected against moisture (rain, drips, splashes, sprayed water or dew). Do not place any containers filled with liquids or lit
candles on top of the TV. High levels of moisture and con- centrations of dust cause leakage currents in the equipment, which
can lead to danger of electric shock or fire.
The manufacturer‘s warranty is only valid for use in the specified permissible environment.
•If you have moved the TV set out of the cold into a warm environment, leave it standing for about an hour since condensation may form.
•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 power cable provided. Incorrect voltages can damage the equipment.
•Like all electronic equipment, your TV needs air for cooling. Obstruction of the
air circulation can cause fires. Therefore the air vents on the back must always be kept free. Please do not place newspapers
or cloths on/over the TV. If the TV is placed in a cabinet or on a shelf, leave at least 10 cm at the sides and 10 cm at the top to ensure sufficient air circulation.
Position the set so that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and additional
heating from radiators.
•Prevent any metal parts, needles, paper clips, liquids, wax or the like from getting into the TV set through the air venting slits in the rear panel. This can lead to short-circuits and possibly to fire. If something should get into the inside of the TV set, pull out the plug immediately and notify customer service.
•Never remove the back of the TV set yourself. Repair and servicing of your TV set should only be carried out by authorised TV technicians.
•Place the TV set on a level, firm base. The set should not protrude at the front when installing in cabinets or shelves.
Only use original accessories if possible, e.g. Loewe wall holders and stands. Never let children handle the TV unattended.
Do not allow children to play in the immediate vicinity of the TV, they could knock, shift or pull it over and injure someone.
Never leave the TV on unsupervised.
•Do not install the TV where there may be vibrations. Vibrations can lead to material stress.
•Pull out the power and antenna cables during thunderstorms. Surge voltages caused by lightning strikes can damage the TV through the antenna system and the mains. Also remove the antenna and mains plugs in long periods of absence.
•The mains plug of the TV set must be easily accessible so that the set can be disconnected at any time.
•Lay the mains cable in such a way that it will not be damaged. The power cable may not be kinked or laid over sharp edges, not stood on and not exposed to chemicals, the latter also applies to the device as a whole. A mains cable with damaged insulation can lead to electric shocks and is a fire risk.
•When removing the mains plug, pull the plug housing and not the cable. The wires in the plug could be damaged and cause a short circuit the next time it is plugged in.

First installation
If the reception conditions are good, then a room antenna may be used for DVB-T. Passive and active room antennas are available on the market. The power is supplied for an active antenna via the antenna connection. For automatic programming or in “TV Menu – Connections – Antenna DVB – Antenna DVB-T,“ the distribution voltage (5 volts) is to be set correspondingly.
It may be practical to use a nondirectional antenna. If the location is outside the normal transmitting range, then a unidirectional antenna may also be used to improve the reception quality.
You can find out more on the digital stations that can be received in your area at your specialist dealer.
If a set was retrofitted with a PIP tuner or if this is already integrated in a set with a digital recorder, then plug the antenna into the antenna input of the PIP tuner and connect the PIP tuner output with the ANT-TV socket (Tuner 1). See illustrations on page 6/7.
Set-specific equipment and retrofitting options for PIP and satellite tuners, see pages 44 and 45.
If a Digital Satellite Tuner 1 has been retrofitted, connect your satellite antenna system to the ANT-SAT socket.
If a Digital Satellite Tuner 2 has been retrofitted, connect one antenna cable each, for example from the antenna switch or from the twin LNC, to both SAT sockets.
When laying the cable, use the cable clips affixed beneath the TV set. Replace the connection cover on the TV set.
Use of the binders for Xelos A42 and Modus L 42
The enclosed binders are intended for holding the connection cables together and fastening them to the rear panel.
The binders can be opened again by pressing on the binder latch.
Using the conditional access module
In order to be able to receive encrypted digital stations, a Conditional Access module (CA-module (1) and a Smart Card (1, if necessary, must be inserted into the corresponding slot of your TV set. You can find the Common Interface slot (CI-Slot) on the back of your TV set, see the illustration on pages 5 –7.
1. Make sure the TV set is switched off with the mains switch on the set.
