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 control three Loewe units, in addition to
this TV set also a Loewe video recorder and a Loewe DVD player.

TV equipment

The maximum equipment (without optional retrofi t kits) is described in
these operating instructions. Functions marked by * are not available in all
TV sets.
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.

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.

Please note!

The LCD screen you have purchased meets the highest quality requirements
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.

Use your screen in a full screen format.

•

Always switch off the screen when not in use.

•

Reduce contrast and brightness as far as possible.

Disposal

Packing and box

You have chosen a long lasting technical product of very
high quality. We have paid a fee to authorized recy­clers who will collect the packing from your dealer for

original box and packing material for optimum protection

if you have to transport the set.

The set

For environmentally friendly disposal of the TV set, please contact your
dealer.

Remote control batteries

The batteries provided contain no harmful materials such as cadmium, lead
or mercury. Regulations concerning used batteries mean that batteries may
no longer be thrown out with the household rubbish.

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 fi lled 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 manufacturer‘s war-

ranty 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
fi res. 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

Welcome

TV is placed in a cabinet or on a shelf, leave at least 10 cm at the sides
and back 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 addi-

tional heating from radiators.

• 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, fi rm 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.
