Instruction Manual For your safety

For your safety, and to avoid unnecessary damage to your unit, please read and follow the safety instructions below:

Intended use and ambient conditions

This TV set is intended exclusively for receiving and playing visual and audio signals. The TV set is designed for dry rooms (living rooms and offices). It must not be operated in rooms with high humidity (for example bathroom, sauna).

Please note that our TV sets are sensitive to dust and sooty particles in the ambient air.

english

Excessive environmental pollutions of this kind can lead to damage of the device up to a malfunction. Pay attention to a clean ambient air, so that your device is not damaged.

Behind the panel plate of the LCD TV set, soot and dust deposits may appear without a soot generating source being visibly present. Such soot and dust deposits are also referred to as „fogging“ or „magic dust“. This phenomenon occurs sporadically, but in particular during the heating period and after renovations and in new buildings. As a cause for this, various factors are mentioned, see also reports on the Internet.

The cleaning or replacement of the panel is excluded from the warranty claims in such cases, because it is not a defect of the device, but an external influence.

If the unit is used outdoors, make sure that it is protected from moisture (rain, dripping water and splashing water or dew). High humidity and dust concentrations lead to leakage currents in the device. This can result in a shock hazard when touching it or even fire.

If you have moved the unit out of the cold into a warm environment, leave it switched off for about an hour to avoid the formation of condensation.

Do not place objects containing liquids on top of the unit. Protect the appliance against dripping and splashing water. Candles or naked flames must be kept away from the TV set at all times to prevent it from catching fire.

Never place the TV set in a location where it is exposed to vibrations. This may lead to damage.

Transporting

Move the device in vertical position only. Get hold of the device on the upper and lower edges of the housing.

Do not stand it up on the bottom edge, so as to reduce the risk of damage and soiling. If the set has to be put down during packing/ unpacking, place the TV set with its entire front surface lying flat on soft material. Use a blanket or the fleece from the packing material as an underlay.

The LCD screen is made of glass or plastic and can break if not handled properly. Always wear rubber gloves to carry the TV set if the LCD screen is damaged and liquid crystal might be leaking out. In the case of skin contact immediately rinse thoroughly with water.

Power supply

Incorrect voltages can damage the unit. This device may only be connected to a power supply with the voltage and frequency indicated on the type plate using the supplied mains cable. The mains plug of the TV set must be easily accessible so that the device can be disconnected from the mains at any time. When unplugging the unit from the mains, pull at the connector body and not at the cable.

The cables in the mains plug could otherwise be damaged and could cause a short-circuit when plugged in again.

Lay the mains cable so that it cannot be damaged. Do not step on the mains cable. The mains cable may not be kinked or laid over sharp edges nor be exposed to chemicals; the latter also applies to the unit as a whole. A mains cable with damaged insulation can cause electric shocks and poses a fire risk.

Air circulation and high temperatures

The vent slots on the rear panel of the set must always be kept unobstructed. Please do not place newspapers or cloths on/over the TV set.

Make sure that there is at least 10 cm free space on the sides and above the set for air circulation,

10 cm

if the set is placed in a cabinet or on a shelf.

Like any electronic device, your TV set requires air for cooling. Obstruction of the air circulation can cause fires.

Prevent metal items, needles, paper clips, liquids, wax, or similar items, from getting into the interior of the device through the vent slots in the rear panel. Such objects can cause short circuits in the set, which could possibly cause a fire.

If something should get into the interior of the set then immediately unplug the mains plug of the device and contact the field service for more information.

About the LCD screen

The TV set with LCD screen you have purchased satisfies the most rigorous quality requirements and has been inspected with respect to 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.

Avoid displaying still images for long periods of time. It is possible that a copy of the image may remain visible.

TV sets with 3D function

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.

Switch off any artificial light sources (e.g., energy saving lamp) between the TV set and the 3D glasses. These could impair the infrared reception or the TV picture may flicker as a result.

Instruction Manual For your safety

Set-up

Loewe flatscreen TV sets are specified for Loewe accessories. The TV set is suitable for mounting in many different ways. Note the assembly instructions regarding the different possible mounting options.

When using accessories from other manufacturers take care that the TV set can be easily inclined or rotated on the respective mounting option.

For mounting options from other manufacturers with motor drive, make sure that the TV set cannot be rotated manually. The use of mounting options from other manufacturers with locks in certain positions is generally discouraged.

When rotating the TV set it is essential to ensure that the pressure exerted on the device frame is not too large. Especially in case of large-format displays there is a risk to damage the screen.

Before setting up the device, please check that the final location is suitable to bear the load of the device in terms of surface (sensitivity to pressure) and stability (statics). This is particularly the case for the high-gloss painted surfaces and surfaces that are made from real wood / real wood veneer or plastic surfaces.

Place the TV set with the table or floor stand only on a level, sturdy, horizontal base. Particularly ensure that the set does not protrude to the front when placed in or on pieces of furniture. Place the TV set in a normal position for use. TV set may only be used in an upright horizontal position. It may not be tilted by more than 10 degrees. The TV set must never be operated in portrait position, lying flat or hanging overhead from the ceiling.

±10°

Set up the device where it is not exposed to direct sunlight and where it is not exposed to additional heating by radiators

When using the VESA mounting points, please refer to the information in chapter Miscellaneous, section VESA standard.

Automatic shutdown

If the TV is not operated for 4 hours (adjustment of volume, programme change, etc.) the TV will automatically switch to stand-by mode to save energy. A prompt to terminate this shutdown process appears one minute before expiry of the 4 hours.

The automatic shutdown is active in the energy efficiency mode Home Mode.

Automatic shutdown does not occur when using the radio without screen display (screen off).

english

Cleaning and care

Switch off the TV set with the main switch prior to cleaning.

Clean the TV set, the screen, and the remote control unit with a soft, moist, clean and colour-neutral cloth only, without any aggressive or scouring cleaning agents.

Repairs and accessories

Never remove the back of the TV set yourself. Have your TV set repaired or serviced by authorised television technicians only. Only use original accessories such as Loewe stands, if possible.

Technical information

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 of an externally connected hard disk and hence loss of the recorded broadcasts.

Before switching off the set with the mains switch, we recommend you to switch it to standby mode.

However, if unexpected problems occur when operating the hard disk, formatting the external hard disk may rectify this. 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 hard disk externally connected to your TV set. To avoid data loss, we recommend copying important recordings to an additional external storage medium.

Supervision

Do not let children operate the TV set unsupervised and do not let them loiter and play close to the set. The set could tip over, be pushed off or pulled down from the stand surface and injure someone.

Do not allow the switched-on TV set to run unattended.

Volume

Loud music can lead to ear damage. Avoid extreme volume especially over long periods and when using headphones.

Thunder storms

Pull out the mains plug and all connected antenna cables from the TV set in a thunderstorm. Overvoltage caused by lightning strokes can damage the set via the antenna system, as well as via the mains. The mains plug and all connected antenna cables should also be pulled out during long periods of absence.

Instruction Manual Preparing the TV set

Installing the TV set

Mounting options / Installation notes

Mount the supplied mounting option. While doing so, look for the corresponding directions in the installation instruction.

Your Loewe dealer can assist you in finding other mounting options that suit your needs.

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 40-inch set approx. 3 m for SD signal). The viewing distance can be reduced with an HD/UHD signal.

Set covers

Covers for rear and side connections

In order to remove the rear side cable covers simply pull them 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.

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:

First plug the smaller plug (small connector) of the power cord into the AC inlet (AC IN) on the TV set, and then the larger connector (Euro plug) into a mains socket.

Connecting antennas

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).

english

The cover detaches from the holder and gives free access to the connection area. To replace the cover, simply push it until it latches back into place.

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.

Cable fixing

Using the Velcro cable tie supplied, you can fix the rear cables. For the bild 3 this is done by a fixation at the table stand (see installation instructions of the table stand).

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-SAT and ANT-SAT2 sockets of the TV set respectively.

When connecting the TV set to a single cable community antenna, connect the ANT-SAT 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-SAT socket directly to the appropriate SAT antenna socket.

In case of a DiSEqC one cable communal system you require only

one antenna cable. Further distribution of the signal to the two reception routes is accomplished by the TV set’s satellite tuner.

It is possible, however, to continue using an existing SAT cabling

with two antenna cables in a DiSEqC one cable communal system. If two transmission channels of the DiSEqC single cable community exist, one system channel is used per satellite antenna cable.

Ask your dealer in this regard.
