Welcome
Thank you
for choosing a Loewe product.
We are happy to have you as a customer.
At Loewe we combine the highest standards of technology, design
and user friendliness. This applies equally for TV, video and
accessories.
Neither technology nor design is an end in itself, but both are
intended to provide our customers with the best possible audio and
visual experience.
We have designed the TV set in such a way that it is easy to operate
with menus. Information about settings in menus is shown
automatically for fast comprehension of the situation.
You will find the answers to many of your technical queries in the
index of your TV. 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.
Features
You can find out the features of your TV set by calling Index Integrated features (call up by pressing the INFO key in TV mode,
while no menu is displayed).
With the remote control RC4, you can operate three Loewe units, this
TV, a Loewe video recorder and a Loewe DVD player.
Transporting
Only transport the unit in an upright position. Hold the set by the top
and bottom edges of the housing. The LCD screen is made of glass
and may break if not handled carefully. If the LCD screen is damaged
and in case of leaking liquid crystal, wear rubber gloves to carry the
device. In case of contact with the skin, wash thoroughly with water
immediately.
Note on LCD screen
The screen you have purchased meets the highest quality
requirements in this segment and has been tested for pixel errors.
Despite the utmost caution in production of the sets, 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.
Installation possibilities
as a desktop unit
Use the base included in delivery.
as a stand unit
Use the Flat-TV F-stand 2, Loewe order no. 63495A00.
as a wall-mounted unit
Use the wall holder WM34, Loewe order no. 63492A01.
Cleaning
Use only a soft, clean, damp cloth to clean the TV, LCD screen and
remote control (don’t use any caustic or abrasive cleaning agents).
Disposal
Important:
The EU Directive 2002/96/EG governs the proper
re-acceptance, handling and recycling of used
electronic appliances. Old electronic
appliances must therefore be disposed of
separately.
Never throw this set in the normal domestic waste.
You can hand in your old set free of charge at
identified collection points or at your dealer if you
buy a similar new set. Other details
about re-acceptance (also for non-EU countries) are
available from your local administration.

For your safety
100 mm
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, dripping, splashing, 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 concentrations of dust
cause leakage currents in the equipment, which can lead to
danger of electric shock or fire. The 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 because of the
possible forming of condensation.
• 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 with 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 5 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.
100 mm
• 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 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 authorized 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.
• Since this TV has no mains switch, the mains plug must be easily
accessible so that it can be disconnected from the mains at any
time.
• Lay the 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 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.
