Welcome
Thank you
for choosing a Loewe product.
We are happy to have you as a customer.
At Loewe we combine the highest standards of technology, design and user
friendliness. This applies equally for TV, video and accessories.
Neither technology nor design is an end in itself, but both are intended to provide our customers with the best possible audio and visual experience.
We have designed the TV set in such a way that it is easy to operate with
menus. Information about settings in menus is shown automatically for fast
comprehension of the situation.
You will fi nd the answers to many of your technical queries in the index of your
TV. If it is a matter of operating the TV, you can access a function directly from
the index. This saves you from having to read through detailed operating instructions and is the reason, why this operating manual only explains the most
important operating steps.
Features
You can fi nd out the features of your TV set by calling Index - Integrated fea-
tures (call up by pressing the INFO key in TV mode, while no menu is displayed).
With the remote control RC4, you can operate three Loewe units, this TV, a
Loewe video recorder and a Loewe DVD player.
Transporting
Only transport the unit in an upright position. Hold the set by the top and bottom edges of the housing. The LCD screen is made of glass and/or plastic and
may break if not handled carefully. Should the LCD screen become damaged
or should the liquid crystal begin to leak, then it is imperative you wear rubber
gloves when removing the set. Should the liquid come in contact with your skin,
thoroughly rinse with water immediately.
Note on LCD screen
The screen you have purchased meets the highest quality requirements in this
segment and has been tested for pixel errors. Despite the utmost caution in production of the sets, it cannot be totally ruled out that some of the pixels might
be defective for technological reasons.
Please understand that such effects cannot be considered as a unit defect in
the sense of the warranty as long as they are within the limits specifi ed by the
standard.

Disposal
Packing and box
You have chosen a long lasting technical product of very high quality. We have
paid a fee to authorised recyclers who will collect the packing from your dealer
for disposal, pursuant to domestic regulations. Nevertheless, we recommend
you to keep the original box and packing material for optimum protection if you
have to transport the set.
The set
Attention: The EU directive 2002/96/EC regulates the proper
way to recycle, handle and utilise used electronic devices.
Hence, all used electronic devices are to be disposed of
separately. Please do not dispose of this set in the normal
household rubbish.
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. You can fi nd out more about recycling (also for countries out-
side the EU) from your local government.

For your safety
100 mm
For your safety and to avoid unnecessary damage to your TV set, please
read and observe the following safety instructions:
• This TV set is designed exclusively for reception and reproduction of video
and audio signals.
• This equipment is designed for domestic and offi ce environments and must
not be used in rooms with high humidity (e.g. bathroom, sauna) or high
concentrations of dust (e.g. workshops). If the equipment is used in the
open air, ensure that it is protected against moisture (rain, drips, splashes,
sprayed water or dew). Do not place any containers fi lled with liquids or lit
candles on top of the TV.
High levels of moisture and concentrations of dust cause leakage currents in
the equipment, which can lead to danger of electric shock or fi re.
The manufacturer‘s warranty is only valid for use in the specifi ed permissible
environment.
• If you have moved the TV set out of the cold into a warm environment, leave
it standing for about an hour since condensation may form.
• This equipment must only be connected to a mains power supply which has
the same voltage and frequency as that specifi ed on the rating plate; use
the power cable provided. Incorrect voltages can damage the equipment.
• Like all electronic equipment, your TV needs air for cooling. Obstruction
of the air circulation can
cause fi res. Therefore the
air vents on the back must
always be kept free. Please
do not place newspapers or
100
mm
100 mm
100
mm
cloths on/over the TV.
If the TV is placed in a cabi-
net or on a shelf, leave at
least 10 cm at the sides and
10 cm at the top to ensure
suffi cient air circulation.
Position the set so that it is
not exposed to direct sunlight and additional heating from radiators.
• Prevent any metal parts, needles, paper clips, liquids, wax or the like from
getting into the TV set through the air venting slits in the rear panel. This
can lead to short-circuits and possibly to fi re. If something should get into
the inside of the TV set, pull out the plug immediately and notify customer
service.
• Never remove the back of the TV set yourself. Repair and servicing of your
TV set should only be carried out by authorised TV technicians.
• Place the TV set on a level, fi rm base. The set should not protrude at the
front when installing in cabinets or shelves.
Only use original accessories if possible, e.g. Loewe wall holders and stands.
Never let children handle the TV unattended.
Do not allow children to play in the immediate vicinity of the TV, they could
knock, shift or pull it over and injure someone.
Never leave the TV on unsupervised.
• Do not install the TV where there may be vibrations. Vibrations can lead to
material stress.
• Pull out the power and antenna cables during thunderstorms. Surge voltages caused by lightning strikes can damage the TV through the antenna
system and the mains. Also remove the antenna and mains plugs in long
periods of absence.
• The mains plug of the TV set must be easily accessible so that the set can be
disconnected at any time.
• Lay the mains cable in such a way that it will not be damaged. The power
cable may not be kinked or laid over sharp edges, not stood on and not exposed to chemicals, the latter also applies to the device as a whole. A mains
cable with damaged insulation can lead to electric shocks and is a fi re risk.
• When removing the mains plug, pull the plug housing and not the cable.
The wires in the plug could be damaged and cause a short circuit the next
time it is plugged in.

Information for the disposal of batteries
The batteries provided contain no harmful materials such as
cadmium, lead or mercury.
Regulations concerning used batteries stipulate that batteries
may no longer be thrown out with the household rubbish.
Deposit any used batteries free of charge into the designated
collection containers set up at commercial businesses.
Antenna
Connect the cable system on the back of the set to the ANT VHF/UHF socket.
If separate antenne exist for the radio and TV reception, the two antenne must
be connected by an antenna switch. Appropriate antenna switches are available
from your dealer.
In DVB-T models, connect the DVB-T antenna to the DVB-T socket and connect
a FM (VHF) antenna to the ANT VHF/UHF socket if necessary (please remove
any plugged antenna bridge, see page 6).
Lay the cables in the cable holder in the rear middle of the TV set.

If the reception conditions are good, then a room antenna may be used for
DVB-T. Passive and active room antennas are available on the market. The power is supplied for an active antenna via the antenna connection. For automatic
programming or in “TV Menu – Connections – Antenna DVB-T,“ the distribution
voltage (5 volts) is to be set correspondingly.
It may be practical to use a nondirectional antenna. If the location is outside the
normal transmitting range, then a unidirectional antenna may also be used to
improve the reception quality.
You can fi nd out more on the digital stations that can be received in your area
at your specialist dealer.
