Welcome

Thank you

and congratulations for choosing a Loewe product.

Depending on the capabilities, your set will have a DVB-T set for digital/
terrestrial stations or will also have DVB-S for digital stations via satellite.
This enables reception of a large number of free digital stations.
If your TV set is fitted with a slot for a Common Interface Module (CI) you
can also receive coded stations.
For this you only need a Common Interface Module and a Smartcard from
the programme provider. Both are available from dealers.

Your TV set also allows reception of digitally broadcast radio stations if
this feature is offered by the station providers.

Digital TV and radio stations usually offer not only a better sound and
picture quality than conventional analog stations but also provide
numerous additional functions which are explained in this manual.

Please read this manual carefully and thoroughly in order to make the
best possible use of all your receiver’s functions. You will find an
explanation of the terminology used herein at the end of the manual in
the Index chapter.

General information

Range of stations

How many and which stations you can receive essentially depends on your
location and your antenna system, e.g. roof antenna/indoor antenna or
satellite antenna.
Ask your dealer to find out which is the best antenna for your location.

The digital TV offers you the following advantages:

• All digital stations received terrestrially and via satellite are shown in a
station table.

• All stations can be called with one common remote control

• Support of EPG (the electronic program guide)

•The digital programmes can be recorded with a VCR or DVD recorder.

• It is also possible to receive coded stations (Pay-TV) as an option if the
corresponding Common Interface Module and the Smartcard from the
programme provider are available).

Connect the antenna cable from the roof antenna to the antenna socket
”IN VHF/UHF/DVB-T” on the back of your TV set to receive digitally/
terrestrially broadcast stations.

An indoor antenna can also be used under good reception conditions.
Passive and active room antennas are offered commercially. In an active
antenna its power is supplied via the antenna connection
”VHF/UHF/DVB-T”.

The supply voltage (5 Volt) must be correspondingly set in the
„TV Menu – Connections–– DVB antenna–– DVB-T antenna“.

Connecting antenna(e)

It is advisable to use an antenna without directional characteristic. If the
location is outside the normal transmission range, a directional antenna
(Yagi) can also be used to improve the reception quality.

You can obtain more detailed information about receivable digital stations
in your area from your dealer.

You can also receive an analogue cable station or an analogue terrestrial
station and a satellite station at the same time and watch with the picture
in picture (PIP) function.

Preparing for initial start-up

• Make sure an antenna for the VHF/UHF range is connected to the
” VHF/UHF/DVB-T” antenna socket.
With this antenna you can receive both analog and digital stations
(DVB-T) providing these are broadcast in your area.

•For the digital satellite reception (DVB-S) a suitable satellite antenna
must be connected to the antenna socket ”DVB-S” (see fig. page 4).

Inserting the Common-Interface module

(Only for sets with CI slot)
In order to be able to receive coded digital stations, the Common Interface
Module (CI module) and the Smartcard have to be inserted in the
appropriate slot of your TV. If this is not already the case, you have to
insert both. You can find the slot on the rear of your TV set, see fig. on
page 4.

1. Make sure that the TV set is switched off with the On-Off switch (not
on standby).

2. First push the Smartcard into the CI module as far as possible. The side

instructions enclosed with the Smartcard.

3. Push the CI module carefully, with the contact side
facing forwards, into the slot. The logo on the
Common Interface Module must be visible.

can be beamed directly to your device via satelliteand can be installed
automatically (available only via ASTRA1).

Automatic software detection

Your device can find out when new software
versions are available. This happens at night, when your EPG is
automatically updated. To enable this update to take place, your TV set
simply needs to remain in standby mode (not with the On/Off button
switched off).

If a new software version has been found, an on-screen message will
inform you accordingly next time you switch the TV on:
You can decide whether you wish to download the new software or not.

Confirm with OK to start the download and install process for the new
software, which will be transmitted by satellite.

You can find out more in the section entitled „Downloading the
software“.

Searching for new software

If you always turn your TV set off using the On/Off switch, it will not check
automatically if there is new software available. If this is the case, you can
periodically carry out your own check (manual search). To do this, proceed
as follows:

1. Press the MENU key to call up the TV menu.

2. Confirm the line marked „Settings“ with OK.

3. Confirm the line marked ”Other” with OK.

4. Select the entry marked „Update digital TV software“ and press OK.

Update digital TV software

Downloading the software

1. If you now press OK in the dialog box shown above, you can decide

whether you want to download the software straight away, when you
switch the TV off, or not at all.
We recommend that you always update your digital software. This is
the only way to ensure that your device is always up to date.

2. If you have chosen to download the software, the software on your
device will be configured and you will be informed of the download’s
progress by a grey bar and a counter.

Do not switch your device off during the download! The
download process can last up to an hour. Once finished, a
message will appear informing you that the download process
is complete.

3. Once you have updated the software, you will be prompted to turn off
your TV set with the On/Off switch and turn it back on again.

If you did not download the update, you will be asked again when you
switch the TV on whether you wish to continue with the update process.

What to do if.. Faults, their causes and how to eliminate them

Problem

The channel overview doesn’t show any encoded
channels, although the CI module and smart card
are plugged in.

The Picture-in-Picture (PIP) function is not
available.

I’ve changed the CI module and smart card, but I
can’t find the channels from the new provider in
the channel overview.

Pre-programming: Only a few digital channels
are shown in the channel overview.

Message „Channel coded“

Message „No signal“

Possible cause and remedy

The CI module and / or smart card may not beplugged in correctly (see the section entitled
„Preparing for initial start-up“, see Page 5).
If no information appears for the CI module, smart card or CI software, the module or card has not
been installed correctly.
Plug in the module and card correctly and repeat the channel search process (see Page 8).

1. In order to be able to watch two satellite channels at the same time, or to watch one and record
another simultaneously:

2. You are trying to watch two digital stations at once. However, you can only watch one analog
and one digital station at the same time.

When you exchange a CI module, you will need to carry out the channel search process again before
you will be able to watch the channels provided by a new provider (see Page 8).

Start the automatic channel search (see Page 8).

The selected channel cannot be decoded. Possiblecauses:

• No suitable CI module is present, or it isn’tplugged in correctly.

•The smart card isn’t plugged in

•The channel hasn’t been released.

The antenna signal is not available.
Possible causes:

•The antenna cable isn’t connected, or isn’t connected to the correct socket (SAT A/D).

•The antenna system is not set correctly. Check your settings.

•The satellite antenna isn’t aligned correctly orreception is impaired (e.g. the antenna is iced
up or covered with snow).

Problem

Message „Channels no longer available“

Message „Transmission break“

Message „Please wait“

No sound is emitted from the speakers of the
television set.

Two identical informations for one program are
displayed in the EPG(DVB) list.

Possible cause and remedy

The stored channel data is no longer available. Possible causes:

•The channel has ceased operating.

•The channel has changed its transmission parameters.

The channel is currently unavailable.

Key data is being stored. This can take a fewseconds.
Please do not turn your device off during this time.

”Dolby Digital” is selected in the menu „Language/Sound selection“. Connect the DIGITAL (SPDIF)
OUT output to an external AV receiver or change the settings in the language/sound selection menu
(see p.10 Status Display).

The EPG data are received for one station, e.g. ARD via DVB-T and DVB-S.
You can deactivate one of the two stations in the ”EPG menu – Station selection”.
