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 cm 5 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.
