This operating manual
About this operating manual
For many questions concerning the technology you will find an answer in the index of your TV set. If your question concerns TV set operation, you can access a function directly from the index of the Tv set. Owing to this possibility, this operating manual only explains the most important operating steps.
The index/glossary from page 60 onwards gives explanations of certain terms used in the TV set and the operating manual.
Sections beginning with the symbol indicate important instructions, hints or conditions for the following settings.
Terms which you will find in the menu or printed on the remote control or the TV set are printed in bold letters.
In the description, the necessary operating elements are located to the left of the text with the handling instructions.
Depending on the connected accessory equipment the menus in the TV set can differ from those described here.
All the station names, programme contents, the illustrated photos, titles, albums and album covers in this operating manual are examples.
TV set equipment
See the rating plate on the rear of the set for the precise product desig­nation. The precise features are listed in the Integrated features item in the index of the TV set (see page 16).
Trademarks

For your safety

y
For your own safety and to prevent unnecessary damage to your device, read and comply with the following safety instructions:
Proper use and environmental conditions
This TV set is intended exclusively for the reception and reproduction of video and audio signals and designed for the home and office. It may not be used in rooms with high humidity (e.g. bathrooms, saunas) or
high dust concentration (e.g. workshops). The manufacturer‘s warranty is only valid for use in the specified permissible environment.
If the set is used outdoors then ensure that it is protected against mois- ture (rain, splashing water, or dew). High humidity and dust concentration cause creep currents in the set. This can cause electric shocks or fires.
If you have brought the set into a warm environment from the cold, then wait for about 1 hour before switching it on to avoid formation of con- densation.
Do not place any objects filled with liquid or burning candles on the de­vice. Protect the set against dripping and splashing water.
onnectivit Connectivity
C
C O N N E C T
Never place the TV set in a position where it is exposed to vibrations. This can lead to material overload.
When rotating the TV set there is a danger of crushing between the TV housing and the table stand. Makes sure that your fingers or other objects are not in this area when rotating the TV set.
Transporting
Only transport the device in vertical position. Grasp the device on the upper and lower edges of the housing.
The LCD screen is made of glass or plastic and can break if not handled properly. If the LCD screen is damaged and liquid crystal is leaking, wear rubber gloves for handling the TV set. If there is skin contact immediately wash thoroughly with water.
Power supply
The wrong voltage can damage the set. This equipment must only be connected to a mains power supply which has the same voltage and frequency as that specified on the rating plate; use the power cable provided. 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 you unplug the mains plug, do not pull on the cable rather pull on the plug housing. The cable in the mains plug could be damaged and cause a short circuit the next time it is plugged in.
Lay out the power cable in such a manner that it cannot be damaged. The power cable may not be kinked or laid over sharp edges, stepped on or exposed to chemicals; The latter also applies for the entire equip­ment. A power cable with damaged insulation can cause electrical shock and is a fire hazard.
Air circulation and high temperatures
The vent slots on the rear panel of the set must always be kept free. Please do not place newspapers or cloths on/over the TV.
At least 10 cm clearance must be left at the sides and top for air circulation if the TV set is placed or hung in a cabinet or a shelf.
Like any electronic device, your TV
MEDIA

set requires air for cooling. Ob­struction of the air circulation can cause fires.
The set is suitable for different instal­lation solutions. See the instructions for assembly for the different instal­lation solutions.
Stand 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.
Set up the device where it is not exposed to direct sunlight and where it is not exposed to additional warming through heating elements.
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 customer service for more information.

For your safety
Environmental protection
Repairs and accessories
Never remove the back of the TV set yourself. Only have your TV device repaired or serviced by authorized television technicians.
Only use original accessories such as Loewe stands if possible (see Ac­cessories on page 58).
Supervision
Do not allow children to use the TV set without supervision or to play in the immediate vicinity of the TV 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.
Cleaning
Use only a soft, clean, damp cloth to clean the TV, screen and remote control, do not use any caustic or abrasive cleaning agents.
Connect TV sets with a high gloss surface may only be cleaned with a soft, clean antistatic cloth.
Thunder storms
Pull out the mains plug and all connected antenna cables from the TV set in a thunderstorm. Overvoltage caused by lightning can damage the set via the antenna system, as well as via the mains power. The mains plug and all connected antenna cables should also be pulled out during long periods of absence.
Note on the LCD screen
The TV set you have purchased with LCD screen satisfies the most rigor­ous quality requirements and has been inspected relative to pixel errors. In spite of the utmost care in manufacturing the display, for technical reasons the possibility that some pixels will have defects cannot be 100% excluded. Please understand that these types of effects, as long as they are within the standard of specified limits, cannot be considered as a device defect in terms of the guarantee.
Energy consumption
Your TV set is equipped with an eco-standby power supply. In the standby mode, the power consumption drops to low power (see technical data on page 57). If you want to save even more energy then switch the device off with the mains switch. However note that in this case, EPG (Electronic Programme Guide) data will be lost, and it may be that programmed timer recordings cannot be executed via the TV device.
If you activate the automatic dimming (see page 21) your TV picture adapts to the ambient brightness. This reduces the power consumption of the TV set.
Packaging and box
You have made a decision to purchase a high-quality technical product with a long service life. For disposal of the packaging, in accordance with national legislation we have paid a fee to a commissioned recycler to pick up the packaging from the dealer. Nevertheless we recommend keeping the original box and packaging material on hand so that the device can be transported with optimal protection if necessary.
The set
The EU directive 2002/96/EC regulates the proper way to recycle, handle and utilise used electronic devices. Old electronic devices consequently must be disposed of separately. Please do not dispose of this device in normal household trash!
You may return your used set free of charge at designated recycling centres or at your specialist dealer whenever you purchase a new, comparable set. Further details about returning (also for non-EU countries) are available from your local authorities.
Batteries
The batteries supplied as initial equipment do not contain
any pollutants such as cadmium, lead, or mercury.
Used batteries should no longer be disposed of in the do-
mestic waste according to the Battery Ordinance. Dispose
of your batteries at no charge in the collection containers
that are set up for this purpose in retail stores.

Select the country for country-specific pre-settings. If UK or IRL is selected for the location of TV set, it is pos-
sible to activate MHEG-5 (UK Freeview) for the TV set. A dialogue appears, where you can confirm to set the
operating software to the selected location. If Yes is selected and confirmed with OK, the TV set turns off and on again automatically. First installation starts again after activating the operation software.
If MHEG-5 was activated, DVB-C and DVB-S can not be used anymore. Only terrestrial/cable and DVB-T stations are available.

If you are using an active antenna, then select yes (5V) for the antenna power supply.
The conventional settings will be derived from the selec­tion of set location. Only change this if you know other symbol rates and modulation types or if you have to spec­ify the network ID for your cable network (information available from your cable network provider). If you want to run the station search independently of the channel grid, select frequency search for the search method.
Select which satellite(s) you receive from a list. For more than one satellite, select the type of your changeover switch or communal satellite system additionally. Ask your dealer in this regard.

Normally, you do not need to change the values for high and low band, unless the LNC (LNB) of your satellite system uses a different oscillator frequency (important for the frequency display). After you have made these settings, you should receive the picture and sound of the selected satellites (only with Astra1 and HOTBIRD).
If you want to run the station search independently of the channel grid, select frequency search for the search method.
The symbol rates are specified by the satellite provider and do not normally need to be changed.
Select the signal source from a list, the station of which is to be at the top of your station list (starting with station slot 1).
Start the automatic station search with OK. First Tv stations, then radio stations are searched for. The stations found in the automatic search are divided into
the appropriate station blocks depending on the previously selected antenna cables (signal sources). Subsequently the stations can only be re-sorted within these blocks. At the beginning of the station list you will find the block with the stations of the preferred signal source.
Any mixed sorting of stations from different signal sources is only possible with the favourites list.
For TV sets with MHEG-5 software the stations are
tied to “Logical Channel Numbers” – “LCN” and sorted from 1-799. Digital stations without “LCN” are stored from 800 onwards. Analogue stations are stored from 1001.
Then the connection and sound component wizard starts which helps you to log in, set and connect video recorders, decoders, a loudspeaker system or a HiFi/AV amplifier to your TV set. DVD players and DVD recorders are already registered at the factory. You can start the connection wizard and the sound components wizard manually later and add new devices. Further information is available from page 37 (Connection wizard) and page 41 (Sound components wizard).

Explanations of the DVB-T antenna:
Room

antenna
With good reception conditions a room antenna can be used for DVB-T (socket ANT2).
Active
Under less favourable reception conditions, an active antenna is recommended which must be set accordingly in the first time commissioning or in the TV menu → Con­nections → Antenna DVB → Antenna DVB-T (see DVB-T Antenna on page 13).
Unidirectional
antenna
If the location is outside of the normal transmission range then a unidirectional antenna can be used to improve reception quality.
Positioning/aligning the DVB-T antenna
If you receive one or more DVB-T stations with picture or sound interfer­ence, you should change the position and alignment of the antenna. Ask your dealer to tell you which channels are used to broadcast the DVB-T stations in your region.
