Setup
Installation possibilities
The Spheros comes in several design versions:
•The Standing unit
Swiveling bass booster as well as a subwoofer integrated with a stand.
•The desk unit
You can easily align the stand/desk unit by controlling its motor drive by means of the remote control.
•The Wall unit, which you can hang on the wall, just like a picture. You can tilt the flat panel screen (Plasma display) within a range of 0 to 12°.
•Spheros Plasma screen and Rack System Cube 1/2 Spheros 42 HD Wallmount
With motor drive for rotating the plasma screen and drawers for the Signal Box and video recorder, DVD player etc.
You can connect add-on devices, such as video recorder, DVD player, Pay-TV decoder, Loewe sound systems, a Loewe OnlinePlus-Box or a Multimedia kit 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 any unnecessary damage to your unit, please protect it from ...
•humidity, water sprays and droplets
•impacts and mechanical stresses
•cold, heat and heavy temperature variations
•dust
•cover allowing poor ventilation
•intervention inside the unit
Do not place vases filled with water, lighted candles etc. on the top of the TV set.
If you have brought the unit from a cold environment into a warm room, let it remain switched off for about an hour, as condensation may form on the set.
Take the swivel range into account when positioning a TV set with rotary motor unit and do not place any objects such as flower vases etc. in this area.
Lightning strikes may damage your TV set through the antenna and the mains power circuit. Pull out the antenna and mains plugs from their respective connecting sockets during bad weather and long periods of absence.
Transport the TV set only in vertical position.
•Avoid metal parts, needles, paper clips, liquids, wax or similar dropping inside the TV set through the air venting slits in the rear panel or cover.
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
For your safety...
The wall holder is designed to include the weight of the wall unit / plasma screen. So, avoid any additional load on it through
persons, playing children or objects. Instruct children, in particular, about the danger of excessive load on the plasma screens, the wall holders or the stands.
Tilting Spheros wall unit
You can tilt the flat panel screen (Plasma display) within a range of 0 to 12° by using a wall holder.
Keep the button under the wall holder pressed. Tilt the flat panel screen with the other hand into the desired position, then let go of the button. The angle of tilt is retained.
Caution: Risk of injury!
If you wish to tilt the flap screen again, do not touch the mechanism of the wall holder!
Please note!
The plasma screen of the Loewe Spheros has the modern image format 16:9 and is conceived for displaying moving images.
The entire screen is utilized while displaying the picture in the format 16:9.
As far as possible, avoid displaying the image in the format 4:3 over a longer period (some weeks), because then only the central portions of the screen surface are used,
showing dark strips to the right and left of the image.
Select an image that fills up as much of the screen area as possible, e.g. “Panorama”. This way, you can prevent formation of different contrast areas on the screen. If upper or lower portions of the image are visible only partially in this format, use the option “Shift image vertically”; refer to page 10 Image Menu.
Display of TV images or static images / text pages from a computer through the VGA/ DVI connection over a long time (over 10 minutes) should also be avoided; otherwise the image contours can remain static on the screen even on switching the monitor off.
The DRM (Digital Refresh Mode) function in this unit can eliminate or reduce such weakly visible effects.
Effects, remnants of excessively long static image display, cannot be reversed even with the help of DRM.
Function Digital Recorder DR
Your Loewe TV set is equipped with a Digital Recorder. This can be used like a VCR to record and play picture and sound of TV programs. Please read the enclosed "Digital RecorderPlus" operator manual to find out how to operate it.
Note
The screen you have purchased meets the highest quality requirements in this sector and has been tested for pixel errors. Despite the utmost caution in production of the display, it cannot be totally ruled out that some of the pixels might be defective for technological reasons.
Please understand that such effects cannot be considered as a unit defect in the sense of the warranty as long as they are within the limits specified by the standard.
Setup and cleaning
A detailed setting up and assembly instruction accompanies every Spheros wall/desk and stand unit.
•Set up the Spheros Signal Box and the screen with sufficient space for ventilation. The openings for ventilation must not be covered with objects, such as magazines, tableclothes, curtains etc.

•Make sure that the screen is not exposed to bright light or sunlight, otherwise it creates reflections and the brilliance of the screen is lost.
Clean the glass plate of the screen only with a soft piece of cloth.
Also clean the other components of the system, such as the Signal Box and remote control, only using a soft moist piece of cloth (without any strong or scouring 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.

Connections
You will find information about this in the chapter "Logging in and connecting AV equipment" on page 20.
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.
