About this user handbook
For best results regarding safety and the longevity of the set, we
recommend you read the chapter Safety/Warning before switching
the TV set on for the first time.
This user handbook can be used for all current Loewe bild TV sets. The
equipment and function scope varies according to set type.
The Technical data chapter is structured according to set lines and
gives you information about the features of your TV set.
For differences in the functional descriptions, refer to the features in
the Technical data chapter.
The chapter glossary gives explanations of certain terms used in the
TV set and the user handbook.
Paragraphs which begin with the symbol
indicate important
instructions, tips or conditions for the following settings.
Terms which you will find in the menus or printed on the remote control
or TV set are written in bold type.
The necessary control elements are shown in the descriptions to the
left of the text containing the instructions for action.
Depending on the connected accessory equipment the menus in the
TV set can differ from those described here. The screen graphic displayed is only an example. Depending on the device type, the available
hardware/software components may be different.
All the channel names, programme contents, the illustrated photos,
titles, albums and album covers in this user handbook are examples.
In addition to the remote control, a PC keyboard can be connected to
one of the USB ports on your TV and then used to control your TV set.
In the user handbook, this symbol indicates places in
which the use of a keyboard is particularly advantageous.
With the Loewe app, you can also comfortably enter addresses or
search terms. Simply mark the input field for this, the Loewe app
displays automatically a keyboard symbol. Open Loewe app keyboard,
enter and confirm.
The user handbook is updated at irregular intervals. We recommend an

Safety/Warning
Safety/Warning
For your safety, and to avoid unnecessary damage to your unit, please
read and follow the safety instructions below.
Key
This symbol indicates risks caused by high voltages.
This symbol indicates dangers caused by the development
of fire.
This symbol should alert the user to other, more specific risks.
This symbol indicates dangers caused by sharp edges.
Do not remove set rear panel
Warning: When opening or removing the rear panel, there is the dan-
ger of electric shock and the risk of serious injury from high voltages.
Never open the rear panel yourself. Leave repairs and servicing work
on your TV set to qualified, authorised television technicians.
Please contact your dealer or our customer service.
Intended use and environmental conditions
This TV set is intended exclusively for the reception and
playback of picture and sound signals.
The TV set is designed for dry rooms (living rooms and office
spaces). It must not be operated in spaces with high humidity
(for example, near or in a bath or sauna).
We point out that our TV sets can react sensitively to dust and
soot particles in the ambient air.
Excessive amounts of these can lead to damage to the set, up
to loss of function.
Ensure a clean environment, so that your set will not be
damaged.
High humidity and dust concentrations lead to power leaks in
the set. This can lead to danger of injury and damage to the set
by electric tensions or a fire.
If the set is used outdoors, make sure therefore that it is
protected against moisture (rain, dripping or splashing water
or condensation).
If you’ve brought the set from the cold into a warm environment,
leave it off for around an hour due to the formation of
condensation.
Do not place objects filled with liquid on the
set. Protect the set from dripping and
splashing water.
Candles and other open flames must be
kept away from the set at all times, to prevent the spread of fire.
Transport
Improper handling during transportation can lead to damage
to the display and risks of injury.
The screen consists of glass or plastic and can break if handled
improperly.
Only transport the set in a vertical position.
No pressure should be applied to the glass or the plastic during
transport.
For TV sets with OLED screen:
Only handle the TV set at the display corners. The correct
handling is shown in operating instructions 1, which are
enclosed with the TV set.
Do not place it on the lower edge so as to reduce the danger of
damage and contamination.
For TV sets with Loewe Eye:
Make sure that the Loewe Eye is not damaged when
transporting / handling the TV set.
The TV sets with OLED screen of the set product lines bild 3,
bild 4 and bild 5 have a different packaging concept from bild
7 and bild 9.
With these sets you can, as a protective box is located in front
of the display, after unpacking the device, also place this on this
protective box, also on the front side.
The TV sets of the device product lines bild 9 and bild 7 must
not be placed on the front side (display surface).
For TV sets with LCD screen:
Grasp the set by the edges of the housing at the bottom and at
the top.
Do not place it on the lower edge so as to reduce the danger of
damage and contamination.
For TV sets with Loewe Eye:
Make sure that the Loewe Eye is not damaged when
transporting / handling the TV set.
If the set needs to be stored during packing / unpacking, place
the TV set with the entire surface of the front side on a soft
underlay. Use as an underlay, for example a blanket or fleece
from the packaging material.
In the event of damage to the LCD screen and any leaking liquid
crystal, be sure to use rubber gloves to remove the set.
In case of skin contact with the fluid, clean immediately with
plenty of water.
Mains cable/power supply
Incorrect voltages can damage the set.
This set may only be connected to a mains power supply with
the voltage and frequency indicated on the rating plate using
the existing
(1
/ enclosed mains cable.
The mains power plug of the TV set must be easily accessible
so that the set can be disconnected from the mains at any time.
When pulling the mains power plug out, do not pull the cable
but the plug housing. The cables in the mains power plug could
be damaged and cause a short circuit when plugged in again.
A mains power cable with a damaged insulation can lead to
electric shock and presents a fire hazard. Never use a damaged
mains cable.
Lay the mains cables so that they cannot be damaged. Do not
tread on the mains cable.
The mains cable must not be kinked or laid over sharp edges.

Safety/Warning
Air circulation and high temperatures
Like any electronic device, your TV set requires air for cooling.
If air circulation is impeded, it may result in a fire.
The ventilation slots on the rear panel of
the set must therefore remain free.
Please do not cover the set.
Wall mounting: Leave at least 10 cm of
space all around the set at the side,
above and below.
Table / stand foot: Leave at least 10 cm
clear space around the set at the side
and at the top.
Foreign bodies
Foreign bodies inside of the set can lead to short circuits and
fires.
Danger of injury and damage exists
Therefore avoid metal parts, needles, paper clips, liquids, wax
or similar passing through the ventilation slits of the rear
panel into the interior of the set.
Should something get into the interior of the appliance, immediately pull out the mains power plug of the set and inform
the customer service department for checking.
Installation
Opting for an incorrect or wrongly mounted installation can
lead to danger of accidents Rolling or falling sets can cause
injuries or damage.
Loewe TV sets are specified for Loewe accessories. We strongly
recommend the use of original Loewe installation options.
Do not use any installation options that are not approved for
your TV set!
Note the instructions regarding the mounting for the different
possible installation options! A corresponding documentation
is included with every Loewe product.
Check before the installation of the set, whether the final location with regard to the surface (pressure sensitivity) and stability (static) is designed for the load from the set! This applies in
particular to high-gloss lacquered surfaces and surfaces made
of real wood, real wood veneer and plastic surfaces.
Only place the TV set on a levelled, stable, horizontal base with
table or stand foot! The set should especially not protrude at
the front when installing in or on furniture.
Not placing the television set on cloth or other materials that
may be located between television set and supporting furniture.
Educating children about dangers of climbing on furniture to
reach the television set or its controls.
The usual usage position of the TV set should be followed. The
TV set can only be operated horizontally upright
A
. The
inclination can amount to a maximum of 10 degrees for wall
mounting
B
. The TV set must never be operated in portrait
orientation,
C
, horizontal D or overhead on the ceiling E .
Position the set so that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and
additional heating from radiators!
Do not place the TV in a location where vibrations can arise!
This can lead to damage.
In the case of installation options for third-party manufacturers
with a motor drive, it is to be ensured that the adjustment of the
TV set does not occur manually. It is generally not advisable to
use the installation options of other manufacturers with locking
devices in certain positions.
When using accessories from third-party manufacturers, it is
to be ensured that the TV set is easily adjusted for the respective installation option.
When adjusting the TV set, ensure that
the pressure applied to the set frame
is not too great. Especially in large
format displays, there is the danger
of damaging the display.
For TV sets with OLED:
OLED technology allows for a design with an extremely thin dis-
play. When you have mounted your TV set on a non-motorized
installation option, avoid over excessive force when rotating
the TV set.
For TV sets with VESA mounting points:
The mounting of a TV set on a On a holder according to the
VESA standard requires mandatory use of the VESA adapter
bolts. Otherwise, damage to the TV may result.
The Vesa adapter bolts must be attached to the TV set with a
torque of circa 4 Nm. You can obtain these from your Loewe
dealer (you can find further information in chapter Miscellane-
ous, section VESA standard).
Make sure that after unpacking and setting up the TV set the
packaging material (TV box, Styrofoam shells and protective
fleece) does not fall carelessly into the hands of children.
Please also note the disposal instructions for packaging and
carton (see chapter Environment / Legal information, section Disposal).

Supervision
Do not let unsupervised children handle the TV set nor let them
play immediately around the TV set!
The set could be knocked over, moved or pulled down from the
stand surface and injure people.
Do not leave the TV set when switched on unattended!
Volume
Loud music can lead to hearing damage. Avoid extreme sound
volume, especially over extended periods of time and when
using headphones!
Thunderstorms
During thunderstorms, pull out the mains power plug and all
connected antenna cables from the TV set!
If you have connected a network cable to the LAN port, remove
this as well!
Over-voltages due to lightning strike can damage the set both
via the antenna system and via the mains power supply.
Even in the case of prolonged absence, the mains power plug
and all connected antenna cables should be disconnected from
the TV set.
Cleaning and care/chemicals
Before cleaning, switch the TV set off using the mains power
switch!
Damages caused by chemicals can lead to adverse effects and
development of fire.
Never expose the set or accessories to aggressive (for example,
corrosive) chemicals such as alkalis or acids!
Only clean the TV set, the front screen and the remote control
with a damp, soft, clean and colour neutral cloth, without any
aggressive or scouring cleaning agents!
For TV sets with textile-covered speaker panel:
Hoover the surface regularly with a soft brush attachment!
On stains or dirt, moisten a soft, colour neutral cloth with detergent solution or commercially available stain remove and
rub the stain gently away! You can also treat the stain directly
with a commercial dry stain remover spray (hoover up the
dust).
Do not moisten the covering fabric directly with detergent solution or stain remover (risk of stain circle formation)! Do not use
solvents to clean the fabric!
Note the usage instructions of the manufacturer when using

When cleaning loudspeaker panels which have been exposed
to nicotine, there is an increased risk of stain circle formation.
TV sets with 3D function
(1
Read the following safety instructions before using the 3D
function of your TV set.
Please use the Loewe 3D TV sets only with the Loewe 3D
glasses which can be purchased as an accessory from your
Loewe dealer.
People with a visual disorder may not be able to perceive 3D
effects or may only be able to perceive them to a limited extent.
People who are sensitive to flickering images (e.g. those with
epilepsy) should only use the 3D function after having consulted
their doctor.
It might take some time for you to get used to the 3D glasses
and before you can perceive the 3D effects properly.
Stop using the 3D function immediately if you experience
any feelings of nausea, dizziness or malaise when viewing 3D
content.
Supervise children whilst they are viewing 3D content, as they
can be particularly sensitive to it.
Allow more time for a break after having watched 3D movies,
so that you are able to relax. Failure to do so could result in
headaches, fatigue, dizziness or malaise.
Position yourself comfortably in front of the 3D TV set and ensure that you are seated firmly. By doing this, you will avoid any
injuries that may occur due to reacting to extreme 3D content.
Technical information
Instructions on the built-in / connected hard drive
Switching off the TV set with the mains switch during operation or
an inadvertent disruption to the power supply (e.g., power failure)
can cause damage to the hard disk file system and hence loss of the
recorded broadcasts.
Never ever disconnect the USB storage device from the TV set during
a copy process. Before switching off the set with the mains switch, we
recommend you to switch it to standby mode.
If, contrary to expectation, you are still experiencing problems with the
operation of the hard drive, you can first carry out a test. In addition,
a formatting of the hard disk can be remedy. In the process, however,
all content on the hard disk is deleted. You can find the corresponding
menu items under System settings ט Control ט more...ט Hard
disks.
Loewe are not liable for the loss of data on the integrated hard disk
(1
of your TV set. To avoid data loss, we recommend copying important
recordings to an external storage medium.

Notes on the LCD / OLED screen
The TV set with LCD screen or OLED screen purchased by you meets
the highest quality standards and has been checked for pixel errors.
Despite of thorough care when manufacturing the display, it cannot
be 100% guaranteed that no subpixel defects will occur due to technical reasons.
Please understand that these types of effects, as long as they are
within the limits specified in the standard, cannot be considered as a
device defect in terms of the guarantee.
For TV sets with LCD:
Avoid displaying static images over a longer period. Image persistence
errors may arise.
For TV sets with OLED:
Organic Light Emitting Diodes are an image technology based on
self-luminous pixels that offer clear benefits in terms of image quality
and performance.
Under certain conditions, persistent, one-sided loads on the OLED
material can result in persistence image faults which are irreversible.
Residual image issues can arise by using static image content over a
longer period, such as static images, subtitles or ticker displays, looping dia-shows or video sequences, static displays serving as presentation monitors or with video games, black bars in some screen formats.
These residual image issues are not defects within the meaning of
the warranty.
To minimise such issues, Loewe has developed a special algorithm
for detecting image content.
If static images are displayed for too long, the TV set automatically
switches to a screen-friendly contrast mode. After a new user operation, the device immediately returns to its normal state. In addition,
menu insertions are gradually reduced or displayed transparently
after one minute.
Under normal viewing conditions, such residual image issues do not
arise.
Notes on Kinematics
The Loewe TV sets types bild 9 and bild 7 are equipped with a kinematics that moves the TV set upwards or downwards when switching it on
and off, whereby the speaker cover is visible or is hidden.
Please make sure that there is no externally applied force opposing the
movement. You have the option to fix the position of the kinematics
from the menu, or disable the function.
You can find further information in the chapter System settings,
section Control – Display kinematics.
Software update
It is possible to update the software on your Loewe TV set.
In the software update (package update) all the software releases in
the TV set are scanned and updated as required.
You can find further information in the chapter System settings,
section Control – Software update.
Safety/Warning
Information about OLED calibration
Only for set types with OLED display
(1
.
To maintain the high quality of picture display permanently, your Loewe
TV set calibrates itself automatically at regular intervals. In this way,
excess TFT capacitors are discharged and so-called image sticking
effects / „ghost images“ are eliminated.
When switching off the TV set from the remote control, where necessary, the calibration process is started and lasts for a maximum of
thirty minutes.
During this period, the power supply to the TV set must not be interrupted.
After the calibration is complete, the TV set switches to Standby mode.
Calibration does not take place during normal TV operation and so will
not have any negative impact on usage of the TV set.
If calibration is terminated by switching the set back on prematurely,
the TV-set will attempt to perform a recalibration again the next time
the TV is switched off.
You still have the possibility to start a refresh procedure manually by
means of the user menu of your Loewe TV set.
Call OLED calibration
HOME: Call Home view.
Select System settings,
OK call System settings.
Select Picture,
go to next column.
Select more ...,
call other settings.
Select OLED calibration,
OKCall.
A calibration of the OLEDs is required every 1500 hours. This also starts
automatically when the TV set is switched off using the remote control.
Calibration lasts one hour maximum. If calibration was not finished
properly, an on-screen image will indicate this.
After the calibration is complete, the TV set switches to Standby mode.

Installing the TV set
Mounting options / Installation notes
Your Loewe dealer can also assist you in finding other mounting
options. Look for the corresponding directions in the installation
instruction.
Choose a place for installing your TV set where no bright light or
sunlight shines directly onto the screen. This could cause reflections
which impair the picture.
3 times the screen diagonal can be taken as a guide value for the
viewing distance (e.g., for a 55-inch set approx. 4.2 m for SD signal).
The viewing distance can be reduced with an HD/UHD signal.
Set covers
Covers for rear and side connections
(1
In order to remove the rear side cable covers pull them simply from
the device.
To fit the cover, insert the lugs at the top edge of the cover into the
corresponding cut-outs in the rear panel and push up the cover until
it snaps in.
The side cover of the TV set can also be completely removed. For this,
open it as far as it will go and gently pull on the open cover.
The cover detaches from the holder and gives free access to the connection area. To insert the cover, simply push it back onto the holders.
A cable bushing connects the lateral and posterior terminal region. In
this way you can pass the cables of the lateral connections through
and lay them out together with the rear connecting cables.
Preparing the TV set
Cable fixing
Using the Velcro cable tie supplied, you can fix the rear cables.
When the TV set is mounted on the Table Stand, the connection cables
are fixed to the Table Stand (see figure).
When using a wall bracket (Wall Mount is available as an accessory
from your specialist dealer), the connection cables are fixed to the
two recesses on the rear of the set (see figure).
If the set type

Connecting the TV set
Connecting to the mains supply
Remove the cover for the connections.
Connect the TV set to a 220-240V mains socket:
With built in mains cable: Connect the mains supply plug of the mains
supply cable attached to the TV to a power outlet.
With external mains cable: First plug the smaller plug (small set plug)
of the mains supply cable into the mains supply connector (AC IN)
of the TV set and then connect the larger plug (Euro plug) to a mains
supply socket.
Connecting antennas
(1
Cable (analogue)/DVB-C/DVB-T antenna:
Plug the cable of antenna, cable TV system or room antenna into the
ANT TV socket.
If you want to use analogue cables/DVB-C connection and a DVB-T
antenna together, use an external antenna switch (available from
your dealer).
Satellite antenna DVB-S:
Depending on the used satellite system, connect a connecting cable
from the multi-switch or directly from the LNC to the ANT SAT1 and
ANT SAT2 sockets of the TV set respectively.
When connecting the TV set to a single cable community antenna,
connect the ANT SAT1 and ANT SAT2 sockets directly to the
appropriate SAT antenna socket.

When connecting the TV set to a DiSEqC single cable community
antenna (in accordance with EN 50494), connect the ANT SAT1
socket directly to the appropriate SAT antenna socket.
For a DiSEqC single-cable shared system, you only need in principal
only one antenna cable. The further sub-division of the signal to
the two reception pathways is transferred by the satellite tuner of
the TV set.
If you want to use two transmission channels of the DiSEqC single-
cable shared system (for example, for different channels main
picture / PIP picture), both channels are received on a SAT antenna
cable.
In the antenna configuration one antenna cable must be provided.
It is possible to reuse an existing SAT cabling with two connection
cables on a DiSEqC single-cable shared system. However, the
system components used (sockets, distributors, etc.) must be
designed for DiSEqC operation.
If you want to use two channels of the DiSEqC single-cable shared
system (for example, for a different channels main picture / PIP
picture), then one channel will be received per SAT antenna cable.
In the antenna configuration, two antenna cables and the number
of used channels thus also must be set to “two“ .
Ask your dealer in this regard.
Connecting the TV set to the Home network
You may link your TV set to the home network by a wired connection
(Ethernet, Powerline adapters separately available) or by a wireless
radio connection (WLAN). For wireless connections, the TV set has
an internal WLAN antenna.
In order to play back data from your home network your Loewe TV
supports the UPnP AV standard.
You call the network wizard to configure the network adaptor (System
settingsטMultimedia/NetworkטNetwork settingsטNet-
working).
Under no circumstances may the TV set be wired and at the same
time connected by a wireless connection to the same network, e.g.
router. This may cause severe operational faults!
Example for a wired connection
Connect the LAN socket of your TV set to the LAN switch/router of
your home network with a network cable (available from your dealer).

Preparing the TV set
Example for a wireless connection
You can connect the TV set to your home network by a wireless radio
connection via the WLAN antenna inside the set.
Shadow effects of various materials, such as reinforced concrete,
metal surfaces, etc., attenuate the WIFI signal sometimes
significantly or completely.
Help for configuration problems
Loewe cannot provide any support for PC hardware and software or
network components owing to the diverse configuration options with
home networks.
Please contact the administrator of your home network and/or specialist
dealer for support when setting up and for maintenance of network
connections, storage media, media server software and network devices
such as routers.

The wall bracket and the TV set communicate via Bluetooth.
Please check the instructions included with Vogel’s MotionMount
to determine if the weight of your TV is suitable for the wall mount
system. Mount the MotionMount as described in the original Vogel‘s
manual.
Loewe does not guarantee the availability and functioning of Vogel‘s
MotionMount. For support with the motorised wall mount system,
please contact Vogel‘s directly.
Mounting a Loewe TV set with VESA attachment points

Digital Recorder
TV viewing with time shift
A TV program or DVB radio program that you watch or listen to is
recorded in the background in the time shift buffer.
You can stop recording the program at any time and play it later with a
time delay (time shift operation). The maximum Time offset amounts
to three hours.
On time shift operation, the program is not stored in the long term.
If you change the channel (switch over program), the current recording
is discarded, the time shift buffer being emptied.
If you want to save programs for a longer period use the archive recording (see next page).
The recording in the time shift buffer is automatically started on TV
sets with integrated hard drive
(1
.
For TV sets without an integrated hard drive, the recording on the
externally connected USB hard drive only starts when the pause key
is pressed.
Recording of analogue channels is not possible.
Time-shifted operation is perhaps not possible or only to a limited
extent for programmes of channels working with CI Plus encryption
(see also chapter Sytem settings, section Extras – Common
Interface).
A seen and already finished program in the time shift buffer can be
transferred to the DR+ archive, provided no channel change has
taken place in the meantime.
The operation of time shift operation in DVB radio programs is
identical to the time shift operation in TV operation.
Interrupt watching (start timeshift television)
Press PAUSE key.
The pause icon is briefly displayed and TV picture
becomes a still picture. Time shift operation is started.
Continue (time shift viewing)
Press PLAY key.
The playback symbol will be shown briefly, now you will
see the TV program delayed in time from the moment
you had pressed the PAUSE key.
Time shift status display
In time shift operation, without further displays.
INFO: ShowTime shift status display.
In the lower area, you will see the number and name of
the channel, the beginning, the end and the title of the
current program as well as the title of the next program.
The grey progress bar indicates how far the time shift
buffer is filled with the content of the current program.
The white bar shows the current position in the time
shift buffer or how far the program has already been
viewed.
The time in the bar indicates the remaining time of the
current program.
For further options of time-shift watching see chapter
Sources, section Video playback.
Returning to live picture (end timeshift television)
Press STOP key.
You see the channel’s live picture again.
Switch to a different channel
If you switch to another station, the display appears on the TV set: End
timeshift and switch over. If you confirm this, the current recording
is discarded (time shift buffer is emptied).
The recording in the time shift buffer is automatically restarted on TV
sets with integrated hard drive
(1
after a change of channels.
For TV sets without an integrated hard drive, recording on the externally connected USB hard drive only starts after pressing the Pause
key after a channel change.
When switching between encrypted and unencrypted contents of the
same channel the timeshift buffer is also cleared.
When doing this, the timeshift television is interrupted and you see
the live picture of the broadcast.
As a precaution, start archive recording of interesting broadcasts when
watching channels with changing coding.

Archive recording
Programs that you want to save permanently or view at a later time,
place in the digital recorderarchive (DR+ Archive).
On TV sets with integrated
(1
hard drive, this is done on the internal
hard drive, on TV sets without an integrated hard drive on an externally
connected USB hard drive.
A recording can be made manually (instant recording / direct
recording) or as timer recording. The timer data can again be entered
manually or more comfortably, for example, via EPG.
If EPG or teletext data is available, the Digital Recorder stores the title
and additional information on each programme in the archive.
If additional languages are being transmitted for a DVB broadcast,
these will also be recorded. DVB subtitles can also be recorded.
You can watch another programme or playback a recorded TV
programme from the archive while recording a TV programme into
the archive. But you can also play back the programme that you are
just recording with time-shift.
With multi recording
(1
two programmes can be recorded simultaneously
(see chapter Recordings, secion Digital Recorder – Multi

at the point from which viewing of the broadcast began.
One Touch Recording: The recording is started immediately with a
single keystroke.
Press REC key longer: The current programme is
recorded immediately.
Direct recording: The timer data is called up. If required, it can be
adapted and the recording subsequently started.
Press REC key briefly.
If desired, adjust timer data (e.g. directory, start, end,
recording type).
Select Record channel,
OK adopt.
Watching other channels during archive recording
After you have started the recording, you can switch to another
channel.
The second channel can be watched in time-shift TV whilst a
recording is taking place (Time shift during archive recording).
On TV sets without Dual Channel

Multi recording
(1
The Multi Recording function makes it possible to record two programmes at the same time and still watch a third one as well.
Generally speaking: each recording, each selected channel requires
one transponder stream. With dual channel devices, two separate
streams are available.
An ideal scenario is to record from two channels sharing one transponder, so that any third programme can be watched.
While simultaneously recording from two programmes that are on two
different transponders, only those channels are selectable for the third
programme, which are transmitted by one of the two transponders.
All channels that are on other transponders appear in the channel list
in dark grey and cannot be selected.
In order to use the full range of functions of multi-recording, two
antenna cables must be connected when using DVB-S or 2 chan-
nels must be configured for a DiSEqC single-cable system.
Recording of analogue channels is not possible.
Recordings of CI Plus encrypted programmes (e.g. RTL HD, Sat 1
HD, Pro 7 HD, etc.) are perhaps not possible or only to a limited ex-
tent. In order to use the full range of functions of the multi-recording,
two CA modules must be used.
The examples shown in the following table for channel combina-
tions are valid only for DVB-S. For DVB-T or DVB-C, other combina-
tions may apply.
The channel / recording combination that can be used, depends

space on the hard disk for new recordings.
If the capacity on the hard disk is nearly fully exhausted, the oldest

Auto
dimming
Two automatic dimming functions are available here
which enable you to adapt the TV picture to the room
brightness, improve the visual contrast and reduce
the power consumption of your TV.
Depending on video (VBD+)
(1
:
The display lighting is reduced depending on the
current video content and the video signal is simultaneously amplified in order to get an improved
contrast of your TV picture (Video compensated
Backlight Dimming – VBD).
Depending on the environment (OPC)
(1
:
The contrast of your TV picture is automatically
reduced vs. decreasing room brightness (Optical
Power Control – OPC).
Due to a reduction in the luminance in 3D mode
for technical reasons, this function is deactivated
when showing 3D content.
Film quality
improvement
(DMM)
DMM reduces jolt in rapid picture object movements
and rolling text displays. This applies especially for
movies.

OLED
protection
(2
The displayed image content is continuously analysed
by an algorithm which partly fades out static areas of
the image (e.g. broadcaster logo, etc).
This is done to
prevent any potential issues.
Deblocking
filter
To minimise the visible interference to the picture
caused by modern compression methods for images
and image sequences (formation of small blocks),
a so-called deblocking filter can be activated which
counteracts this interference.
PC IN

Mimi DefinedTM
Every user’s perception of sound is individual and changes in certain
frequency ranges with age.
With Mimi Defined
TM
you can adjust the sound of your Loewe TV set
to your personal, age-specific hearing in three simple steps.
First, you create a personal profile or choose a setting for a whole
group of listeners. Depending on the age or age group, an algorithm
then determines the ideal frequency response curve for the best
listening experience.
Mimi Defined
TM
is the result of state-of-the-art hearing research and
has been developed and validated in cooperation with Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin, the largest university hospital in Europe.
Mimi DefinedTM is currently only available for TV sets with chassis
generation SL4xx and software from version V5.x.
Mimi Defined
TM
can be activated retroactively with compatible de-
vice types with chassis generation SL4xx using an activation code.
This can be purchased through the specialised trade or in the Loewe
online shop. Further information can be obtained from your specialist dealer or in the Loewe online shop.
The activation code is entered under the menu item Activate pack-
age (see chapter System settings, section Extras – Integrated
features).
According to your settings, Mimi DefinedTM also increases speech
intelligibility at sound setting 5.1. This may result in surround effects
not always sounding as originally intended.
Personalised sound settings may affect the effectiveness of Mimi
Defined
TM
. You may need to reset your personal sound settings.
With input signals via HDMI, only Dolby signals are processed.
