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

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 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

10 cm 10 c

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.

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.

Software update

TV base software and DVB software

Your TV offers you the option of updating the TV base and DVB software. The current software versions are broadcast by satellite (only via Astra1 at present) or can be installed in your set by a USB stick. Ask your dealer about the possibility of updating the software with a USB stick.

 Location of TV set UK or IRL: With the DVB software update either

MHEG-5 or DVBi3 is updated depending on the selection during the first installation. After this update it is not possible any longer to switch between MHEG-5 or DVBi3 software via first installation.

 MHEG-5 software update only available via USB stick and DVB-T.

Automatic search for new software via satellite

If your set has a upgraded satellite tuner, it determines overnight whether a new software version is available via satellite. However, the TV set must remain in standby mode (do not switch off with the mains switch).

If a new software version has been found, the set informs you with an on-screen message the next time it is switched on (see right column – Load new software).

Manual search for new software via USB /satellite

If it is not automatically displayed that a new software is available when switching on the set, you can also run a manual search. The system first checks whether a software update is available on an inserted USB stick. If not, an updater is searched for via satellite if upgraded.

Connection variants of a DVD/video recorder

There are two possibilities for viewing the picture of the connected recorder:

1. Use appropriate cables in conjunction with the connections assigned

by the connection wizard. This always offers the best quality and the greatest convenience, such as automatic switch over when playing from a connected device.

2. You are using the antenna connection between recorder and TV

device. However this reduces the quality.

Connecting an antenna to the DVD/video recorder

If you want to receive and record analogue stations, it is useful to connect the recorder in with the antenna cable (as shown in the connection example on page 37 bottom right). If the antenna connection is also used for the playback because the devicers are not connected by EURO-AV cables, you have to search for the recorder station and save it in the TV set.

The signal type of the connectable devices may be very different. If you are uncertain, leave the setting for Signal on Autom.-CVBS/YC (e.g. for DVD player/recorder) or Au- tom.VHS/SVHS (e.g. video recorder), otherwise select the appropriate signal type. See the glossary on page 60 for further information.

If the picture from a connected device is to be displayed immediately on the TV set during playback, select yes. A switching voltage is allowed so that you do not have to switch over manually to see the picture of the connected device. (See the operating manual for the connected reproduction device.) When playing from Digital Link Plus devices, the picture is always displayed immediately, regardless of the setting.

Select the AV socket to which the device of which you want to hear the digital sound is connected. Connect the digital output of the external device to the digital input of the TV set (see page 43). If a device with digital audio is not connected then select no.

Proceed as follows (see also the operating manual of the connected recorder):

 Insert a DVD/cassette and press play.

Call AV selection.

 Select VIDEO, OK to switch over.

If no picture is visible on the TV screen when playing the recorder, search for the recorder station automatically or set it manually.

To make sure no "normal" TV stations are found in the station search, pull the antenna plug out of the recorder antenna input temporarily (the cable to the antenna system).

Manual recorder station search:

VIDEO is selected by the AV selection.

Call TV menu.

 Select Settings,  go to the menu line below.

For Channel enter "E30“.

Blue button: Start search.

When you have found the recorder station:

Red button: Overwrite station slot.

Exit TV menu.

Plug the previously removed antenna plug back in.

If disturbances should now occur because a TV station is being broadcast on the same channel as the station of the recorder, then you must change the transmission channel on the recorder and scan for the recorder again on the TV set.

Operating additional equipment

Connecting devices to the HDMI (DVI) connections and playback

The HDMI connections (High Definition Multimedia Interface) permit digital video and audio transmission via a connection cable from a player, e.g. from the Loewe ViewVision DVD recorder.

The digital picture and sound data are transmitted without data compression and therefore lose none of their quality. Your TV set automatically shows 24p movies (see glossary page 60) output by a player connected via HDMI, e.g. Loewe BluTech Vision, in the original 24p format. Film quality improvement (DMM) must be set to on here (see page 21).

Using a DVI/HDMI adapter cable, the digital video signals of a DVI player can also be played via the compatible HDMI connection. The sound must be fed in additionally.

HDMI and DVI both use the same copy protection method HDCP.

Connecting the device

Connect the device by an HDMI cable (type A, 19 pole) to the HDMI1/DVI or HDMI2/DVI socket of the TV set. If a DVI/HDMI adapter cable is used, the appropriate sound can be fed in via the audio input socket AUDIO IN1 (analogue) or AUDIO DIGITAL IN (digital) on the TV set. See also page 43. It is not necessary to log in HDMI devices in the connection wizard.

Playback from the device

 Select HDMI1/DVI or HDMI2/DVI socket, OK to switch over.

Start playback on the connected HDMI device. The best possible format for the picture will be detected and set automatically.

Digital Link HD in appropriately equipped HDMI devices

As long as HDMI is selected as a memory location, all remote control commands which the connected HDMI unit can handle are passed on to it. The HDMI unit can therefore be installed in a concealed position and still be operated. Volume, Sound on/off, Sound adaptation and Picture format affect the operation of the TV set. Switch back to TV mode to the station last viewed with the TV button. Switch Digital Link HD on/off temporarily: Press the TV button for a little longer (approx. 1 second).

TV remote switch on via Digital Link HD In the TV menu under Connections → Miscellaneous → Remote TV switch

on via Digital Link HD you can define that the TV set switches on auto-

matically from standby when a connected HDMI device displays a menu or a disk is inserted.

Your TV set may be equipped with an integrated Dolby Digital Decoder depending on the variant. This system has been introduced to the DVD video range and digital TV stations can also broadcast in digital multichannel sound.

For playback of 5 audio channels the surround sound is reinforced by the deepest frequencies from the subwoofer channel (SUB), (5.1 reproduction = 5 audio channels and 1 subwoofer). All 5 audio channels are reproduced with the full frequency range from 20- 20,000 hertz and generate the original theatre effect.

The upgrade kit decodes Dolby Digital, dts and MPEG. Stereo signals can also be reproduced on multi-channel via Dolby Pro Logic and Dolby Pro Logic II. This is regardless of whether the signal is transmitted by an external device or received by the TV set.

Equipment / upgrade of the different set variants and accessories see page 58 and 59.

Assignment of the digital audio input

In order to be able to hear the digital sound of an external device connected to an AV input, an AV input can be assigned to the digital audio input socket AUDIO DIGITAL IN. When switching to this AV input, the digital audio signal applied to the AUDIO DIGITAL IN input is passed on to the upgradable integrated Dolby Digital Decoder and the digital audio output socket AUDIO DIGITAL OUT. You will then hear the digital sound of the assigned AV input instead of the analogue sound if available.

Connecting devices to the digital audio input

For the digital audio playback from an external device, e.g. the DVD player, you have to feed the digital audio signal to the TV set. The external digital audio signal can be played back via the upgradable Dolby Digital Decoder in the TV set, via an externally connected digital audio amplifier or Loewe Auro.

An external audio amplifier must already be set in the

sound components wizard (see page 42).

AUDIO DIGITAL IN socket on the TV set.

ENDINFO

TV set

The DVD player is already logged in at AV1 in the connection wizard at the factory.

If new devices are connected and registered in the connection wizard, the digital audio input AUDIO DIGITAL IN is assigned in the connection wizard (see page 38).

Audio connection in HDMI (DVI) devices

External devices with DVI connection If an external device with DVI interface is connected to the HDMI1/DVI or

HDMI2/DVI socket of the TV set by an HDMI/DVI adapter, you can con-

nect the digital sound of the external device to the digital audio input socket AUDIO DIGITAL IN. The assignment of the digital audio input to the corresponding HDMI socket of the TV set takes place as described in the column on the left.

If you want to use the analogue sound of the external device, connect this to the AUDIO IN1 socket.

External devices with HDMI connection

If external devices with HDMI interface are connected to the HDMI1/DVI or HDMI2/DVI socket of the TV set, no assignment of the audio input is necessary because in HDMI the digital transmission of picture and sound takes place via one connection.

RS-232C interface (upgradable interface)

You can connect either the Loewe Individual Sound Projector or a home network system of different manufacturers (e.g. AMX, Crestron) to your TV set via the RS-232C interface.

For the configuration of the RS-232C interface and further information about the different home networking systems, please contact your dealer.

Timer recording with external devices

It is not possible to record HDTV broadcasts with external devices. Use

the internal Digital Recorder for this if it is installed.

Recorder with Digital Link Plus

If you use an externally connected recorder with Digital Link Plus or a similar system, the TV set and connected recorder exchange data (e.g. compare station lists TV set/recorder or timer data of analogue stations). Please consult the operating manual of your recorder to find out of your recorder is Digital Link Plus compatible. In addition use only Euro AV cables for the connection between TV set and recorder.

END

INFO

END

Analogue stations

The timer data are transmitted automatgically from the TV set to the recorder after programming is complete. (For DVD recorders in addition the recording quality SQ or EQ is also transmitted.) The recording is then controlled by the recorder and the recorder tuner is used for reception of the programme. The recording data are not saved in the timer overview of the TV set. Consequently if you want to change or delete the timer data then you must do so on the recorder.

Digital stations

If you want to record digital stations with an externally connected recorder, then the DVB tuner is used and the TV device takes over control of the recorder. Then the station on the TV set is locked during the timer recording. It is not possible to switch over to another DVB station.

Recorder without Digital Link Plus

If the programmed timer cannot be transmitted to the external recorder (no Digital Link Plus) but supports Digital Link (Loewe-own system), the TV receiver is always used. Digital Link must be switched on on the recorder. Read the operating instructions of your Loewe recorder. In addition use only fully wired Euro AV cables for the connection between TV set and recorder.

Analogue and digital stations

You can control the recording from the TV set. The recorder must be set manually to the AV input, to which the TV device is connected. The station on the TV set is locked during the timer recording. It is not possible to switch over to another station.

Copy protection

Copy-protected programmes will not be output on the EURO AV sockets for legal reasons.

24p movie display: Modern movie makers produce movies with 24 (full)

pictures per second (24p), conventional TV sets (and most DVDs) show 50 (half) pictures per second. To play the movie, the original number of pictures is doubled and the film sped up. This is optimal for sports broadcasts but for quieter movies it distorts the picture quality.

Active antenna: An antenna with its own power supply or amplification

which can improve the reception is areas with a poor coverage.

AV socket: Socket for audio and video signals.

AV sources: Audio/video source.

AVS: Audio/video sockets on the side of the TV set (cinch and mini-DIN).

Band: Name for a transmission range.

CA module: The Conditional Access module contains the coding system

and compares the transmitted code with the one on the Smart Card. If they match, the appropriate stations or programmes are decoded.

Cinch cable: Cable for transmitting audio or video.

CI slot: See Common Interface.

Common Interface: The Common Interface (CI slot) is a standardised interface. By inserting suitable decoding modules (CA modules) and a Smart Card coded digital programmes can be used.

Component IN: Connection in which the video signal is transmitted via

three separate cinch connections. It is made up of the brightness signal "Y“ and the colour difference signals "Pb“ and "Pr“. YPbPr is the original analogue version of the digital YCbCr in which video data saved on the DVD as well as transmitted via satellite, cable or antenna in DVB are colour coded.

Conditional Access module: See CA module.

Decoder: Analogue, coded TV signals are passed through a decoder and

made visible again.

Digital Link: System for controlling recorders (for video and DVD recorders from Loewe) via the Euro AV sockets of the Loewe TV set with concealed setup. Controlling the recorder for timer recordings.

Digital Link Plus: System for controlling recorders according to protocol

50. For analogue stations the station and timer data are transmitted via the EURO-AV socket to the recorder. The timer recording is executed

exclusively by the recorder. There is a different designation with different manufacturers.

Dolby Digital: Digital multi-channel audio. The digital standard for high quality home movie systems. The individual channels are broadcast separately in this standard. The three front channels right, left and centre, the two surround channels right and left and the external subwoofer channels are called a 5:1 signal. Another term for Dolby Digital is AC3.

Digital Link HD: System for controlling devices via the HDMI connection of the Loewe TV set in the case of concealed installation.

Dolby Pro Logic: Analogue multi-channel audio. Converts a Dolbycoded stereo signal into a surround sound. This usually contains four channels (front left, centre, front right, surround channel). A special subwoofer channel is not generated in this method.

Dolby Pro Logic II: Analogue multi-channel audio. Dolby Pro Logic II is a further development of Dolby Pro Logic. This method generates a 6channel spatial sound from a stereo or Pro-Logic signal (front left, centre, front right, surround left, surround right, subwoofer).

Dolby Surround: Analogue multi-channel audio system that brings four audio channels down to two audio tracks with the aid of a matrix coding.

Dolby Virtual Speaker: The Dolby Virtual Speaker technology simulates the surround playback of a real 5.1-channel playback with only two speakers.

DTS: Digital Theater Systems; Digital multi-channel audio.

DVB-C/-S/-T: Digital Video Broadcasting stands for digital television.

Technical DVB is the standardised process for transmitting digital content (television, radio, multi-channel audio, room sound, EPG, Teletext, and other supplemental services) through digital technology. C stands for transmission via cable, S for distribution via satellite and T for terrestrial or antenna distribution.

DVD: Abbreviation of Digital Video Disk and later Digital Versatile Disk.
