Welcome

Thank you,

for choosing a Loewe product.
We are very happy to have you as a customer.

Loewe combines high quality in technology,
design and user friendliness. This applies
equally for TV, video and accessories.
Neither the technology nor the design are an
end in themselves but serve to give our
customers pure watching and listening
enjoyment.
We have not allowed ourselves to be led astray
by short-lived fashion trends in the design. You
have, after all, purchased a high-quality piece
of equipment which you don’t want to get tired
of looking at tomorrow or the day after .

About the set
We have designed the TV set in such a way
that it is easy to operate with menus. If
you need information about how to
operate it, just display the info texts with
the i button, you will soon get a grasp of
the relationships.

You will find the answers to many
technical questions in the index of your TV
set. If it’s 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 you are reading 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

This operating manual describes the maximum
equipment.
Functions marked by S are not available in all TV
sets.
The illustrated menu contents may vary
depending on the TV equipment.
You can find out what equipment your TV has
in the main information – Technical spec. of TV
set.

Setup and cleaning

Please note that the feet of the TV set could
leave marks on soft wood furniture (e.g. deal,
pine, fir etc.) due to the weight and moving the
set about.
The plastic material of the feet contains
softeners which could in some cases etch the
surfaces of furniture.
In such cases you should place a firm underlay
about the same size as the base of the TV set
underneath it.

Please also read and observe the safety
instructions on the following pages.

Make sure no bright light or sunlight falls on
the screen and impairs the picture by
reflections.

Cleaning

Clean the TV set and the remote control only
usingwith only a damp, soft, clean cloth (never
use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents).

Disposal

Packing and box

You have chosen a very high-quality, long-
lasting piece of technical equipment. In
compliance with national regulations, we have
paid a fee to authorized disposal companies
who will collect the packing from the dealers.
Nevertheless we recommend that you keep the
original box and packing material so that the
TV set has optimum protection if you have to
transport it.

The TV set

Please consult your dealer for environmentally
friendly disposal of the TV set.

For your own safety

For your own safety and in order to avoid
unnecessarily damaging your TV set, please
read and observe the following safety
instructions:

•This TV set is designed exclusively for
receiving and reproducing audio and visual
(AV) signals.

• It is designed for the home or office and
may not be used in rooms with high
humidity (e.g. bathroom, sauna) or a high
concentration of dust (e.g. workshops).
If the unit is used in the open air ensure
that it is protected against moisture (rain,
dripping or splashing water, or dew). Do not
place containers filled with water, such as
vases, on the TV set. High moisture and dust
concentrations produce creep currents in
the set which can lead to danger of electric
shock or fire.
The manufacturer’s warranty is only valid
for use of the TV set in the specified
permissible environment.

•This set may only be connected to a power
supply with the voltage and frequency
specified on the rating plate using the
enclosed power cable. The wrong voltages
can damage the set.

• If the set is moved from a cold environment
to a warm room, condensation forms on all
parts of the set. Moisture produces creep
currents in the set which can cause a fire. In
this case, you should leave the set for a
reasonable time to acclimatize (when the
condensation on the screen has evaporated)
before switching it on.

• Like every piece of electronic equipment,
your TV needs air for cooling. Obstructing
the air supply to the set can cause fires. The
air vents on the back of the TV set must
always be kept free. Do not leave
newspapers or cloths lying on the TV set.
The air supply is also impaired when the TV
set is placed on a blanket or a thick pile
carpet.

If the TV set is placed in a cabinet or on a
shelf, at least 5 cm clearance at the sides
and at least 10 cm at the top must be left to
allow air to circulate.
Stand the TV set in a place where it is not
exposed to direct sunlight or additional
heating from radiators.

• Magnetic fields influence the picture quality
of the TV set. Therefore, dDo not place
loudspeakers or other magnetic sources
immediately next to the TV set.

• Avoid dropping metal objects, needles,
paper clips, liquids, wax or similar into the
air vents at the back of the set. This causes
short circuiting of the set and could start a
fire. If anything should get inside the set,
switch it off immediately, pull out the plug
and call the after-sales service to check it.

Do not place vases filled with water, lighted
candles etc. on the top of the TV set.

For your own safety

•You should never attempt to remove the
rear panel of the TV yourself. The set
operates with high voltages which could be
fatal. Leave repairs and servicing of your TV
set to authorized TV technicians.

• Due to the picture tube, TV sets have their
center of gravity fairly near to the front. The
TV set therefore has a tendency to tip
forward relatively easily which could cause
injury to persons.
Only stand the TV set on a level, firm base.
The set must stand on all feet. The TV
should not overhang particularly when it is
placed in a cabinet or on a shelf.
If the TV is placed on a stand, makes sure
this is larger than the surface area of the
base of the TV.

When using turntables and drawer shelves,
make sure they have a sufficient load
capacity.

We recommend you to use only original
parts, e.g. Loewe racks and stands.

If the TV set is placed on a console with
castors, move the console carefully because
the console and the TV could tip over.
Consoles with castors may considerably
reduce the stability of the sets placed on
them so only use consoles specially
designed and approved for the TV.
Never allow children to handle the TV set
unsupervised.

Do not allow children to play close to the TV
set, they could knock, push or pull it from
the stand and injure someone.

• Do not place the TV anywhere where it may
be exposed to vibrations because this can
lead to overloading of materials.

• Do not leave the TV on unsupervised.

• Pull out the antenna and mains plugs
during a thunderstorm. Surge voltages from
lighting strikes can damage the set both
through the antenna system and the mains.
You should also pull out the antenna and
mains plugs during long periods of absence.

•The mains plug of the TV must be easily
accessible so that it can be disconnected
from the mains quickly at any time.

• Lay the power cable so that it cannot be
damaged. The power cable may not be
kinked or laid over sharp edges, and may
not be walked over or exposed to chemicals;
the latter applies for the entire TV set. A
power cable with defective insulation can
lead to electric shocks and is a fire risk.

• When you pull out the mains plug, do not
tug the cable but hold the housing of the
plug. The cables in the mains plug could be
damaged and cause a short circuit the next
time it is plugged in.

cover of the battery compartment down and
remove it. Insert the batteries of the alkaline
manganese type LR 03 (AAA) with the correct
polarity (+/–).

Then push the cover back on.

Note on disposal of batteries:

The original batteries do not
contain any pollutants such as
cadmium, lead and mercury.

TV mode

In initial installation and daily operation, the TV
set is in TV mode. This is also the case when none
of the other modes of operation such as EPG,
Teletext, PIP, Video or Radio is selected.
Every one of these modes of operation has a
menu which you can call with the M-button and
with some color button assignments.

Function of the color buttons in TV mode

You can assign the functions of the four color
buttons yourself. The following functions are set
at the factory:

red: list or call personal teletext
pages

green: call picture format setting

yellow: call last viewed station

blue: call station info

You can assign other functions to the buttons in
the TV menu ”Settings” – ”Function keys”.

Status display

Show/hide status

Main information

Call main information

The explanation of the remote control shows
the function of every button in different modes
of operation of the TV set and the remote con­trol.

The index answers many questions regarding all
aspects of the TV. If it is a question about the
operation, you have direct access to the operat­ing function from the index.

Loewe TV sets are supplied in different models
with different equipment. You can find out what
equipment your TV has under the menu item
”Technical spec. of the TV set”.
When you have made all the settings and
connections, you can switch over to ”Simplified
control” using ”Select Mode”. Then the
”Settings” and ”Connections” can no longer be
launched in all modes of operation menus.
Switch ”Simplified control” back off when you
want to make settings.

Call the TV menu

Launch the TV menu

Modes of operation

Some settings in the TV menu:
Child lock

Use the child lock if you want to prevent your
children watching after a certain time, once or
daily, all or certain programs.

On-screen displays

You can define duration and position of the
displays, the content of the program and status
display and activate or deactivate zap2text as a
display.

Timer functions

You can have your TV switch on and off at spe­cific times or have yourself reminded by a signal
tone.

Time and date

When you receive teletext, the TV records the
right date and time settings. The time serves as
information for timer recordings, timer functions
and EPG. If you do not receive teletext you
should set the date and time and not switch the
TV off with the mains button as the settings will
then be lost.

Language

If ”your” menu language is not set, you have to
select the ”Language” menu in a language you
cannot understand:
Press the M-button (TV menu), mark the last
menu item (settings), press the OK button and
mark the last menu item (Language) under
”other ...” and press the OK button.
Now select the right language and confirm with
OK.

If, for example, you cannot receive any EPG
providers and no DVB is installed in the TV set,
you should switch off the data acquisition.

Performing data acquisition

The data must be collected first after these
settings or every time the TV is switched off. To
do this, select the program which you have
defined as a provider and leave it switched on
for about one hour or switch the TV set to
standby mode. The green LED lights up in
addition to the red LED after about two minutes.
Data acquisition takes about one hour, in sets
with a DVB module a little longer. The data are
automatically collected between 2 and 5 in the
morning when the TV is switched off to standby.

Defining personal topics

You will find the programs that interest you
faster when you define your personal topics.
Mark ”Select personal topics” in the EPG menu
and put together your list of personal topics.

Radio mode

You can switch the radio mode on and off with
the

L

button. If at least one satellite tuner and
possibly a DVB module are installed in your TV
set, you will be able to receive radio stations. If
none of these additional modules is installed,
you can only select the audio inputs and play
back through these with the station table or the
g h buttons.

Modes of operation

Selecting stations for EPG

Select the stations here for which information is
to be collected.

Stations marked by + are favorite stations. The
provider supplies information for stations marked

D (digital), these are already marked (blue
letters).

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. Use the Euro-AV sockets on the TV and VCR.
This is the best way to get a good picture and
sound quality. For camcorders it is best to use
the front sockets AVS.
If you are playing back from a VCR with
Digital Link Plus, the VCR picture is shown on
the current station slot.
If you are playing back from a standard VCR,
DVD player or camcorder, select the AV
socket to which the video signal is connected
in the AV selection list or the station table.
Video recorders emit a switching voltage
during playback which the TV set can decode
(can be activated for every VCR in the
connection wizard or set Settings – AV
Settings – Allow switching voltage to ”Yes”
in the TV menu). Then the VCR picture is
shown on the current station slot as in Digital
Link Plus VCR’s.

2. You can also control logged-in Loewe VCRs
and DVD players with the video menu bar.
See page 17 for more details.

3. Use the antenna connection between the
VCR and the TV. The sound is only transmitted
in mono. Select the first menu item, e.g.
VIDEO, in the AV selection.
