Setup

Installation possibilities:

as a desktop unit

on a sideboard or table (Xelos SL 32 HD/37 HD.

Using a rotary table stand (Motor Unit) you can adjust your Spheros 32 HD or 37 HD easily with the remote control to suit your sitting position.

on a Flat-TV F-Stand

as a standing unit, manually rotatable.

Spheros 32 HD or 37 HD on the System Rack Cube 1, Cube 2

with motor control for rotating the TV set and shelves for DVD player, VCR etc.

as a wall unit, the flat screen (LCD) can be hung on the wall like a picture. It can be tilted up to 5°.

Auxiliary devices such as VCRs, DVD players, Pay-TV decoders, Loewe sound systems Concertos/Certos can be connected to the Spheros Signal Box.

Operation

We have designed the TV set in such a way that it is easy to operate with menus. If you need information on operating the set, simply press the i key on the remote control to display the help texts, which will quickly enable you to understand the system.

If it is a matter of operating the TV, you can access a function 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.

For your safety ...

For your own safety and to avoid unnecessary damage to your equipment, protect it against

moisture, splashing and dripping water

shock and mechanical stress

cold, heat and extreme temperature fluctuations

dust

covering which obstructs air circulation

tampering with the insides

Never place vases filled with water, lit candles etc. on the TV set.

COMMON INTERFACE

If you have moved the set out of the cold into a warm environment, leave it switched off for about an hour because of the possible forming of condensation.

Lightning can damage your TV through the antenna and the mains. Therefore pull out the antenna and power plugs during thunderstorms and in longer periods of absence.

Only transport the unit in an upright position.

Avoid metal parts, needles, paper clips, liquids, wax or similar 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 set switch it off immediately at the on/ off switch, pull out the power plug and notify the after-sales service for inspection.

The TV power plug must be easily accessible so that the TV can be disconnected from the power supply at all times.

Lay the power cable so that it cannot 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 power cable with damaged insulation can lead to electric shocks and is a fire risk.

When removing the power 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.

Your new TV has been built exclusively for use in a home environment. The warranty covers this normal use of the device.

Only have repairs done by the Loewe Service.

Setup and cleaning

Only hold the housing for transporting and never the panel.

The front panel and the LCD screen underneath it are made of glass and may break if not properly handled. If the LCD screen is damaged (not the glass panel) and in case of leaking liquid crystal, wear rubber gloves to carry the device.

In case of contact with the skin, wash the affected areas thoroughly with water.

Note

During the whole period of use, pixel errors may appear on the screen in the form of lighter or darker spots, this phenomenon is typical for an LCD display. It is not a defect.

Install the Spheros Signal Box and the screen with room for air circulation. The air vents may not be covered by objects such as magazines, table cloths, curtains etc.

.

Check the strength of furniture (e.g. tables, sideboards) before placing the set on it.

Take the swivel range into account when installing a set with a rotary motor unit.

Make sure no bright light or sunlight falls onto the screen otherwise reflections will be caused and the brilliance of the picture lost.

Do not place the Signal Box on edge but on its feet.

Do not place naked flames, e.g. lit candles, on the set.

Note on installing the flat screen (LCD):

Observe the enclosed installation instructions depending on the type of set you have purchased and installation.

With the Xelos SL 32 HD and 37 HD types a stand (Xelos table stand) is usually delivered for the LCD.

Handling the mesh tube

Use the enclosed mesh tube to lay the screen, base, wall holder or rack cables tidily and guide the hose with the cables to the Signal box. This looks more elegant.

The diameter of the mesh tube widens when it is pushed together lengthwise (see figure). This makes it easier to push through the cables with plugs.

Cleaning the front panel

(Only for Spheros 32/37 HD)

The inside of the front panel and the LCD screen need to be cleaned from time to time. Only remove the front panel when the TV has been switched off and has cooled down. The metal frame of the LCD panel may reach a temperature of up to 60°C in operation !

Hold the glass panel at the bottom right and left and pull the panel out of the guide about 4 cm.

.

Push the glass panel up evenly.

Unhook the glass panel at the top and remove.

Use a damp, soft cloth to clean the LCD screen and a glass cleaner for the glass panel.

Replacing the front panel:

Make sure you do not damage the LCD screen with the fastening bolts on the front panel.

Hang the glass panel into the guide rails at the top with both fastening bolts.

Then press the glass panel down lightly onto the screen until it snaps into place.

Clean the other components such as the remote control and signal box with a damp, soft cloth only (without aggressive and abrasive cleaning agents).

Modes of operation

TV mode

In initial installation and daily operation, the TV set is in TV mode. This is also the case when none of the other modes of operation such as EPG, Teletext, PIP, Video or Radio is selected. Every one of these modes of operation has a menu which you can call with the MENU- button and with some color button assignments.

Function of the color buttons in TV mode

You can assign the functions of the four color buttons yourself. The following functions are set at the factory:

red: personal teletext page (with DR+: call DR archive)

green: call picture format setting (with DR+: call timer overview)

yellow: call last viewed station

blue: call station info

You can assign other functions to the buttons in the TV menu "Settings" - "Function keys".

The explanation of the remote control shows the function of every button in different modes of operation of the TV set and the remote control.

The index answers many questions regarding all aspects of the TV. If it is a question about the operation, you have direct access to the operating function from the index.

Loewe TV sets are supplied in different models with different equipment. You can find out what equipment your TV has under the menu item "Technical spec. of the TV set".

When you have made all the settings and connections, you can switch over to "Simplified control"(not in digital TV) using "Select Mode". Then the "Settings" and "Connections" can no longer be launched in all modes of operation menus. Switch "Simplified control" back off when you want to make settings.

You can save the setting for picture and sound you have made in this menu and launch them again later.

Connections

You will find information about this in the chapter "Logging in and connecting AV equipment" on page 21/23.

zap2text

Some stations use this service. If teletext pages are referred to during a program, the TV set saves and/or displays this page number. You

call the teletext page with the TEXT button from the display during the program or from this menu.

Some settings in the TV menu:

Child lock

Use the child lock if you want to prevent your children watching after a certain time, once or daily, all or certain programs.

On-screen displays

You can define duration and position of the displays, the content of the program and status display and activate or deactivate zap2text as a display.

Timer functions

You can have your TV switch on and off at specific times or have yourself reminded by a signal tone.

Time and date

When you receive teletext, the TV records the right date and time settings. The time serves as information for timer recordings, timer functions and EPG. If you do not receive teletext you should set the date and time and not switch the TV off with the mains button as the settings will then be lost (Not all stations transmit the full date, you may have to add missing data manually).

Language

If "your" menu language is not set, you have to select the "Language" menu in a language you cannot understand:

Press the MENU-button (TV menu), mark the last menu item (settings), press the OK button and mark the last menu item (Language) under "other ..." and press the OK button.

Now select the right language and confirm with

OK.

You will find a detailed description in the ”Digital PhotoViewer” operating manual enclosed.

Digital Recorder Plus (DR+)

If a hard disk is integrated in the Signal Box (set variant), you can record and play TV programs. Depending on the selected recording quality the possible recording capacity is between about 20 and 100 hours.

The possibilities of the Digital Recorder are much more versatile than those of a video recorder. Use the separate ”Digital Recorder Plus” operating manual for operation.
