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.
TV equipment
The maximum equipment is described in these operating instructions
(without optional retrofit kits). Functions indicated by
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 Plus with the
additional DVB satellite tuner.
✳
are not available in
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)
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 be defective 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.
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 frame (>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 frames 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.
•
Always switch off the TV set when not in use.
•
Reduce 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.
Any effects resulting from an excessively long display of a freeze frame
cannot be reversed using the “DRM” function.
Disposal
Packing and box
You have chosen a long lasting technical product of very high quality. We
have paid a fee to authorised recyclers who will collect the packing from
your dealer for disposal, pursuant to domestic regulations. Nevertheless,
we recommend you to keep the original box and packing material for
optimum protection if you have to transport the set.
The set
Attention: The EU directive 2002/96/EC regulates the
proper way to recycle, handle and utilise used electronic
devices. Hence, all used electronic devices are to be
disposed of separately. Please do not dispose of this set
in the normal household rubbish.
You may return your used set free of charge at
designated recycling centres or at your specialist
dealer whenever you purchase a new, comparable set. You can find out
more about recycling (also for countries outside the EU) from your local
government.
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).

For your safety
10 cm
10 cm
m10 cm
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
concentrations 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
10 cm
which has the same
voltage and frequency
as that specified on the
10 cm
10 c
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 Xelos A32/37/42 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 7/8.
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 (only in conjunction with
the Digital Recorder+), then 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.
Handling the
fabric hose
Use the fabric hose included
with Xelos A 32/37/42 to lay
the mains cables, antenna
cables or cables from other
electronic components
systematically; then lead the
hose with the cables to the connection boxes. This provides you with an
elegant solution when laying cables.
The diameter of the fabric hose increases when you push it together
lengthwise (see illustration). This makes it easier for you to push through
cables with plugs.
Using the common interface module
(only for sets with CI slot)
In order to be able to receive encrypted digital stations, the common
interface module (CI module) and the smartcard both have to be inserted
into the corresponding slot of your TV set. You can purchase the CI module
and smartcard at your specialist dealer. You can find the slot on the back of
your TV set, see the illustrations on pages 6 – 8.
1. Make sure the TV set is switched off with the mains switch on the set,
or pull the mains plugs.
2. First push the smartcard into the CI module as far as it will go. Insert
it so that the side with the golden contact chip faces the side of the
module printed with
the supplier‘s brand
logo. Printed arrows
indicate how to insert
the card. Also follow the
installation instructions
included with the
smartcard.
3. Slide the CI module
✳
carefully into the slot with
the contact side facing the front. The logo on the
common interface module should be visible.
Eject button
Make sure the module is not twisted in the
process. Do not use force.
When the module locks, the eject button is
pressed outwards.

Note: The coloured keys do not work as described below with DVB-T
stations in UK, but they operate as described on page 30 (Digital Teletext).
Picture in picture displays are possible if the set has an analogue PIP tuner
or a digital satellite tuner in addition to the analogue TV cable tuner. You
can have a PIP tuner (not for Xelos A 26 and sets in UK version) or a digital
satellite tuner retrofitted. If there is no other tuner installed, you can use PIP
(AV-PIP) when playing a video recorder or DVD player.
For a retrofitted PIP tuner, the following PIP displays are possible: Main
picture analogue – PIP picture analogue, Main picture digital – PIP picture
analogue.
The following is not possible: Main picture digital – PIP picture digital, Main
picture analogue – PIP picture digital.
For “Split screen,“ the PIP picture is displayed on the right side of the
screen. Both pictures share the screen in two equal halves. For the “Small
PIP“ setting, a small picture is displayed in the TV picture.
The green bar/frame indicates that the control commands have an effect

EPG - Programme guide
Note: The EPG does not work with DVB-T stations in UK. The “Now& Next”
feature for programme info of the current and next broadcast is displayed
instead.
EPG is an electronic programme guide. With this system, you can easily find
the stations that interest you (sorted according to day, time, station and topic).
You can mark programmes and programme recordings.
Depending on whether you are receiving analogue stations by cable/antenna
or digital stations, you will have different programme guides.
A wizard is activated the first time you use EPG (not with DVB) which guides
you through the necessary settings. Then run the data acquisition (see next

Digital teletext operation (only UK)
In the UK, the teletext for DVB-T stations (TV and Radio) is transmitted as
per the MHEG-5 standard (standard of the Multimedia and Hypermedia
Expert Group). It contains text, graphics, functions and links.
The operation of these menus depends on the particular provider. Normally
after a station is changed, the provider broadcasting the digital teletext
makes an introductory offer for this service on the screen via menu
selection. Follow these notes.
R
Depending on the provider‘s respective offer, you can use the
buttons and the OK button, the colour keys, the END/TEXT button and
sometimes even the numeric buttons.
If you want to close the digital teletext, just select a different station using
the
P+/P– buttons or follow the menu prompts on the screen.
Notes:
• Digital teletext is not available when DVB-T subtitles are selected.
• If a timer recording is programmed at the TV-set, at the start time of the
recording the digital tletext mode is switched off automatically

Video playback
There are several ways to see the picture and hear the sound of the VCR,
DVD player/recorder or camcorder on your TV:
1. You can usually use the Euro-AV sockets on the TV set and on the VCR.
For camcorders or digital cameras, use the AVS sockets on the right of
the TV set. DVD players/recorders and SetTopBoxes may have HDMI or
component sockets for video and audio transmission. In this case, use
the corresponding sockets on the TV set.
When playing back from a video recorder using Euro-AV socket and
Digital Link Plus (or a comparable system from another manufacturer),
the picture from the VCR is shown at the current programme location.
When playing back from another VCR, camcorder or digital camera, use
the AV selection
the device to which the VCR is connected.
Video recorders transmit a switching voltage during playback, which
the TV can evaluate (can be activated in the connection wizard or in the
“TV menu – Connections – Miscellaneous – Allow switching voltage“ set to “yes“). Then the picture of the video recorder is shown during
playback at the current station location.
2. You can use the antenna connection between the VCR and the TV
without a Euro-AV socket. The sound is only transmitted in mono.
Select the first menu item, e.g. VIDEO, in the AV selection.

Timer recording with video or DVD recorder
You can programme timer recordings on the TV set. Programming can be
done with the EPG programme guide (not with DVB-T in UK), teletext or
manually. Call the “Timer list” menu with the
red colour key for the “Recording wizard”. Select whether you want to
programme the recording via EPG, teletext or manually. You also have the
option to programme recordings directly from the EPG programme guide
or teletext.
Note: Copy-protected programmes are not output to the Euro-AV sockets
for legal reasons.
When you have connected the Euro-AV socket to a recorder which has
Digital Link Plus or a comparable system from a different manufacturer,
the timer data of analogue terrestrial stations are transmitted from the
TV to the recorder. The recording quality SQ or EQ is transmitted for DVD
recorders, in additional to the station, date and time. The recording is then
controlled by the recorder and the recorder tuner is used for reception of
the station. The recording data are not saved in the timer list of the TV set.
You will only find the timer data in the recorder.
If you want to record from digital stations, the TV tuner is used and the
recorder is controlled by the TV set. Then the station is locked during the
timer recording.
If you have connected a Loewe video recorder with Digital Link to the
Euro-AV socket (without Digital Link Plus) and you are using the timer
programming of the TV, the TV receiver is always used, for terrestrial
stations as well. The TV controls the recording.
You have to set the recorder to the AV input (signal source) to which the TV
set is connected.
Then the station on the TV set is locked during the timer recording.
Digital Link must be switched on on the recorder. Read the operating
instructions of your Loewe recorder.Use only Euro-AV cables, which are
completely shielded, otherwise Digital Link/Digital Link Plus will not work.
Another advantage of Digital Link is that you can install the recorder in a
concealed place (e.g. in a rack). You can control the recorder with the TV
set.
If you have a Loewe recorder with both systems, you can use all the
advantages. The advantages of Digital Link Plus are used for the timer
recording; the advantages of Digital Link for concealed installation of the
recorder.

Audio output “AUDIO DIGITAL OUT“
The digital audio signal is applied at the “AUDIO DIGITAL OUT” socket of
the TV. For example, you can connect an external digital audio amplifier or
the Loewe Auro system here.
An analogue audio signal from the TV set or another sound source
which is received at one of the Euro-AV sockets of the TV set is converted into a digital signal (PCM) and output at the “AUDIO DIGITAL
OUT“ socket. Conversion from external analogue AV sources to PCM
is not possible if the TV‘s loudspeakers are used as a centre channel. In
this case, connect your audio amplifi er additionally to the TV (AUDIO
OUT L/R) with a cinch cable and switch the audio amplifi er to analogue audio input.
The digital TV sound or the digital sound of a connected auxiliary device is only audible via an external digital audio amplifi er (e.g. Loewe

Connecting other audio amplifiers or active
speakers
In the connection wizard, select “HiFi/AV amplifier“ under “Equipment
selection: audio component“. The connection wizard allows configuration
of different audio amplifiers (stereo amplifiers, surround amplifiers,
analogue or digital) with different sound formats (Dolby Digital, dts, MPEG
and Stereo/PCM). Refer to the operating instructions for the audio amplifier
to be connected.
Select “Digital“ under “Audio transmission“ for digital audio amplifiers.
Connect the digital audio output of the TV AUDIO DIGITAL OUT to the
digital audio input of the digital amplifier.
Assign the digital audio input to the socket through which the
corresponding picture is transmitted (e.g. AV2 if a DVD player is connected
there). Then the digital sound is passed to the digital audio output of the
TV set and fed to the external audio amplifier via this.
Specify which sound formats can be decoded with your digital amplifier
(Dolby Digital, MPEG, dts).
Specify under “Type of amplifier“ whether the digital amplifier is a stereo or
surround amplifier.
If it is a surround amplifier, specify whether or not the TV loudspeakers
are to be used as centre loudspeakers. Connect the centre output of the
amplifier to the centre output of the TV using a cinch cable, if necessary.
Note: do not use the centre loudspeaker connection on the amplifier;
instead use the pre-amplifier centre output.
Select “Analogue“ for “Sound transmission“ for analogue audio amplifiers.
The sound for the analogue amplifier is transmitted via the AUDIO OUT L/R
connections of the TV to the audio amplifier. Connect the amplifier with
two cinch cables.
Specify under “Type of amplifier“ whether the analogue amplifier is a stereo
or surround amplifier.
If it is a surround amplifier, also specify whether or not the TV speakers
are to be used as centre loudspeakers. Connect the centre output of the
amplifier to the centre output of the TV using a cinch cable, if necessary.
Note: do not use the centre loudspeaker connection on the amplifier;
instead use the pre-amplifier centre output.

HDMI (DVI) connection
The HDMI connection (High Definition Multimedia Interface)
allows digital picture and sound transmission via a connecting
cable, e.g. from Loewe DVD Recorder Centros 2102/2172 HD.
The digital picture and sound data are transmitted without
data compression and therefore lose none of their quality. In the equipment
connected, no analogue/digital conversion is necessary, which might also
have lead to losses in quality.
DVI signals can be also be reproduced by the HDMI connection using a
DVI/HDMI adapter cable. This is possible because HDMI is based on DVI
and is downwardly compatible. That means that the digital video signals are
transmitted via HDMI - no audio signals are transmitted, though. In addition,
both use the same copy protection method HDCP.
Connect the set with an HDMI connection using an HDMI cable (type A,
19-pin) to the HDMI socket of the TV set. Log in the HDMI connection in the
connection wizard (TV menu - Connections - New devices/modifications).
Select the HDMI connection in the AV selection.

The set automatically recognises and sets the best possible format for the
video.
If transmission occurs via a DVI/HDMI adapter cable, then you can feed in
the appropriate analogue audio via the audio input sockets AUDIO IN L/R on
the TV set. The sound is reproduced via the TV speakers.
If you have connected a digital external audio amplifier, you can select the
digital audio signal in the connection wizard (TV menu - Connections - New
devices/modifications) and assign it to the HDMI/DVI socket. You can make
the other settings for the audio amplifier as described for digital amplifiers
on page 36. The digital audio signal of the DVI audio source is fed in at the

socket.
You need another cinch cable for the analogue sound transmission.
Connect the analogue audio outputs of the DVD player to the AUDIO IN
L/R sockets on the TV set. The sound is reproduced via the TV speakers.
If you want to use the digital sound of the DVD player with a digital audio
amplifier connected to the TV, make a connection between AUDIO DIG
OUT of the DVD player and AUDIO DIGITAL IN of the TV set.
Log in the component/device in the connection wizard:
Assign the AUDIO DIG IN input here to the COMP. IN socket, provided a
digital audio amplifier is also connected. You can make the other settings
