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 fi nd 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.
With the remote control, you can operate three Loewe units, this TV, a
Loewe video recorder and a Loewe DVD player.
TV equipment
The maximum equipment is described in these operating instructions. Functions marked by
For sets with terrestrial and satellite supported Digital-TV additional operating instructions are enclosed with the appropriate equipment.
Menu contents may differ from the ones shown depending on your TV
equipment.
You can view your TV equipment in the “Integrated features” index (press
the INFO button in TV mode, if no menu is displayed; is displayed separately in the index before A.
✳
are not available in all TV sets.
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 specifi ed by the standard.
Installation possibilities
as a desktop unit
Use the base included in delivery. Installation instructions are enclosed with
the base.
as a wall-mounted unit
Use the wall holder WM52, Loewe order no. 63493A00.
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).
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.

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 offi ce 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
fi re.
The warranty is only valid for use in the specifi ed 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 specifi ed 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 suffi cient
air circulation.
Position the set so that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and additional heating from radiators.
5 cm5 cm
10 cm
.
• 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 fi re. 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.
• The mains plug of the TV set must be easily accessible so that the set
can be disconnected 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 fi re 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.
The rating plate of the TV is on the rear of the set underneath the small fl ap
for the headphones and camcorder connections.

Program guide – EPG
EPG is the electronic program guide for TV programs. With this system, you
can easily fi nd the stations that interest you (sorted according to day, time,
program and topic). You can memorize stations and station recordings.
Depending on whether you are receiving analog stations by cable/antenna
or digital stations, you will have different program 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 page).

Video playback
There are several ways to see the picture and hear the sound of the VCR,
DVD player or camcorder on your TV:
1. You can use the Euro AV sockets on the TV set and on the VCR. This
is the best way to get a good picture and sound quality. Use the AVS
sockets on the right of the TV for camcoders and digital cameras.
When playing from a video recorder with Digital Link PLus (or a comparable system from another manufacturer), the picture from the VCR is
shown at the current program place.
When playing back from another video recorder, camcorder or digital
camera, select the AV socket to which the video is connected with AV
selection (button 0 AV) or with the station table (OK).
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 at the current
program place.
2. Use the antenna connection between the VCR and the TV. The sound is
only transmitted in mono. Select the fi rst menu item, e.g. VIDEO, in the
AV selection.

You can program timer recordings on the TV set. Programming can be done
with the EPG, teletext or manually.
Open the TV menu with the MENU button, select the „Recording” menu
item with and “New recording” with .Open the menu line below
with and select whether you want to program the recording by EPG,
teletext or manually.
You also have the possibility of programming a recording from the timer
overview, the program guide-EPG or teletext. In addition you can start a
direct recording with the Record button •.
When you have connected a recorder which has Digital Link Plus or a
comparable system from a different manufacturer, the timer data of analog
terrestrial stations are transmitted from the TV to the recorder. The recording quality SQ or EQ is transmitted for DVD recorders addtionally to station,
date and time. The recording is then controlled by the recorder and the 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 fi nd 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 program is locked during the
timer recording. You can switch over to another station if you have analog
terrestrial reception in addition to the digital satellite tuner (from which you
are recording).
If you have connected a Loewe video recorder with Digital Link (without
Digital Link Plus) and you are using the timer programming of the TV, the
TV receiver is always user, for terrestrial stations as well. The TV controls
the recording.
You have to set the recorder to the AV input to which the TV set is connected.
The program is locked during the timer recording. Switching to other stations is not possible.
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 advantages 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.

The digital audio signal is applied at the “AUDIO DIGITAL OUT” socket of
the TV. For example, you can connect an external digital audio amplifi er or
the Loewe Auro system here.
An analog 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 analog AV sources to PCM is not possible if the loudspeaker
of the TV set is used as a center 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 analog audio input.
The digital TV sound or the digital sound of a connected auxiliary device

HDMI (DVI) connection
The HDMI connection (High Defi niton Multimedia Interface) allows digital
picture and sound transmission via a connecting cable, e.g. from DVD
players. The digital picture and sound data are transmitted without data
compression and therefore lose none of their quality. No analog/digital
conversion is necessary in the connected equipment which also led 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 downward compatible. That means that the digital video signals
are transmitted via HDMI. In addition both use the same copy protection
method HDCP.
Connect the set with an HDMI connection with 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/modifi cations).
