Welcome

Thank you!

At Loewe, we combine the highest standards of technology, design and user friendliness. This applies equally for TV, video and accessories. Your new TV set is ideally equipped for the TV standard of the future - “HDTV“ (High Definition Television). With its high-resolution screen and the future-proof digital interfaces HDMI, you have the option to view HD content with excellent picture quality. It therefore carries the European quality mark “HD ready“. Digital TV is steadily spreading via terrestrial reception, in the cable network and via satellite. Loewe supplies sets equipped with DVB-T and DVB-C (DVB-C not for UK). A digital satellite tuner (DVB-S) can be retrofitted. The DVB integrated within the TV set is operated via the TV set menus using the remote control. We have designed this TV set so that it is easy to operate by using menus. Information about settings in menus is shown automatically; this enables you to understand the context quickly. You will find the answers to many of your technical queries in the index of your TV. If you want to operate the TV, you can access functions 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.

Integrated features

The maximum equipment is described in these operating instructions. Functions indicated by ones shown, depending on how your TV is equipped. You can display how your set is equipped in the “Integrated features“ index (press the INFO button in the TV mode if no menu is displayed; the “Integrated features“ menu item is also displayed in the index before the initial letter A). There are separate operating instructions for Digital Recorder +.

Note on the LCD screen

The TV set with an LCD screen you have purchased meets the highest quality requirements and has been tested for pixel errors. Despite the utmost caution in production of the displays, 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 a unit defect as defined by the warranty as long as they are within the limits specified by the standard.

- 8

Welcome

Note on the plasma screen (Xelos A 42 and Modus L 42)

IMPORTANT! PLASMA SCREEN TECHNOLOGY IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THE DISPLAY OF FIXED IMAGES FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME.

A fixed image displayed for an extended period can cause permanent “image retention” to appear on your Plasma screen. Examples of fixed images include logos, video games, computer images, teletext, interactive applications and images displayed in 4:3 mode etc. If using such applications it is advised to reduce the “Contrast” setting to minimise the risk of image retention. It is recommended that these images are not displayed for long periods.

Note: Permanent “image retention” on a Plasma TV resulting from fixed image use is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by the warranty.

You will be reminded of this warning through an on screen message after switch on. It will not appear if it is deactivated in the menu. To do this press “Menu“ followed by selection of “Settings“ – “Miscellaneous“ –“On screen displays“ – “Automatic Info.“ then finally select “No“, alternatively it will automatically stop appearing after the menu has been entered twenty times.

The TV set with plasma screen you have purchased meets the highest quality requirements and has been tested for pixel errors. Despite the utmost caution in production of the displays, it cannot be totally ruled out that some of the pixels might not light up for technological reasons. Please understand that such effects cannot be considered a unit defect as defined by the warranty as long as they are within the limits specified by the standard. For plasma screens, the emission of light decreases the longer the unit is used. Plasma screens work by using phosphor. In certain operating conditions, this technology may facilitate image burns. These operating conditions include:

•

Lengthy, continuous display of a freeze picture (>10 minutes).

•

Constant display of the same background.

•

Use of a format that does not entirely fill the screen (such as 4:3) for a longer

period of time. Once an image is burnt into the display, it is usually not possible to remedy the problem; this situation is neither covered by the warranty nor by the guarantee. To avoid or reduce image burns on your screen, please follow these instructions and recommendations:

•

During the first 100 hours of operation, you should display moving pictures for

the most part or freeze pictures that change frequently; these images are to fill

the entire screen.

•

Use your screen in a full-screen format (16:9).

•

If you use the screen as a PC monitor, always activate the screen saver.

•

Switch the TV set off when it is not being used.

•

Reduce the contrast and brightness as much as possible. The “DRM“ function (Digital Refresh Mode), which can be called in this set, may be able to eliminate or reduce minor visible effects.

Call up the Index using the INFO button on the remote control, select “DRM (Digital Refresh Mode)“ and start the Refresh mode by pressing the OK button. Alternating full-screen colour images will be displayed now instead of the TV picture. Run the Refresh mode for about as long as a freeze picture was displayed earlier. End the Refresh mode by pressing any button on the remote control. Any effects resulting from an excessively long display of a freeze frame cannot be reversed using the “DRM“ function.

Cleaning

Use only a soft, clean, damp cloth to clean the TV set, the screen and remote control (do not use any caustic or abrasive cleaning agents).

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 find out more about recycling (also for countries outside the EU) from your local government.

For your safety

10 cm

m10 cm

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 office 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 filled with liquids or lit candles on top of the TV.

High levels of moisture and con-

centrations of dust cause leakage currents in the equipment, which can lead to danger of electric shock or fire.

The manufacturer‘s warranty is only valid for use in the specified 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 specified 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 fires. Therefore the air vents on the back must always be kept free. Please do not place newspapers or cloths on/over the TV. If the TV is placed in a cabinet or on a shelf, leave at least 10 cm at the sides and 10 cm at the top to ensure sufficient air circulation.

Position the set so that it

is not exposed to direct sunlight and additional heating from radiators.

10 cm

10 c

• 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 fire. 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, firm 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 fire 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.

First installation

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 – 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 find out more on the digital stations that can be received in your area at your specialist dealer.

If a set was retrofitted with a PIP tuner or if this is already integrated in a set with a digital recorder, then plug the antenna into the antenna input of the PIP tuner and connect the PIP tuner output with the ANT-TV socket (Tuner 1). See illustrations on page 6/7.

Set-specific equipment and retrofitting options for PIP and satellite tuners, see pages 44 and 45.

If a Digital Satellite Tuner 1 has been retrofitted, connect your satellite antenna system to the ANT-SAT socket.

If a Digital Satellite Tuner 2 has been retrofitted, connect one antenna cable each, for example from the antenna switch or from the twin LNC, to both SAT sockets.

When laying the cable, use the cable clips affixed beneath the TV set. Replace the connection cover on the TV set.

Use of the binders for Xelos A42 and Modus L 42

The enclosed binders are intended for holding the connection cables together and fastening them to the rear panel. The binders can be opened again by pressing on the binder latch.

Using the conditional access module

In order to be able to receive encrypted digital stations, a Conditional Access module (CA-module corresponding slot of your TV set. You can find the Common Interface slot (CI-Slot) on the back of your TV set, see the illustration on pages 5 –7.

1. Make sure the TV set is switched off with the mains switch on the set.

2. First push the smart card into the CA module as far as it will go. Insert it so that the side with the golden contact chip faces the side of the module printed with the supplier‘s brand logo. Printed arrows indicate how to insert the card. Also follow the installation instructions included with the smart card.

3. Slide the CA module contact side facing the front. When you are standing in front of the TV set, the logo on the CA module must face the rear.

Make sure the module is not twisted in the process.

Do not use force.

the corresponding bandwidth of 7 or 8 MHz. You should only change the bandwidth under special circumstances - if the channel raster in your area is different from the standard. When you receive a digital station, the system displays the signal quality C/N via a bar/numeric value and the signal strength via Level. The antenna‘s direction or position is best when the largest values possible are displayed (long bar) for the signal quality and signal strength.

7. Direct the antenna so that the largest numerical value/bar size is reached.

8. If no signal is found in the channel set, you can start the frequency search run by pressing the blue coloured key within the band selected.

9. Check the other channels one after another on which digital stations are broadcast terrestrially in your area.

For the weakest station, direct the antenna so that the maximum numerical

value/bar size is achieved.

10. After you position or direct the antenna, we recommend to search for all the stations using the “Search wizard“ (TV menu – Settings – Stations – Search wizard).

Inserting a new CA module

After you insert a new CA module (CI module

is displayed in the menu) and switch the TV set on, the following dialogue is displayed:

Autom. station search

Your TV set has detected a new CI module. This requires a station search for all new receivable stations.

After you press the OK button, the system starts the wizard to carry out the automatic station search. Check the proposed search parameters and let the set search for new stations.

Calling the CA module menu

Here you can call up information on the inserted conditional access module and the smart card. To do this, use the MENU button to call the TV menu, select the line “Settings“, “Miscellaneous“ and then the entry “CI module - xxx“ (in place of “xxx“ stands the name of the provider which is output by the smart card. The term CI module

displayed in the menu refers to the CA module. The content of this menu depends on the particular supplier of the CA module. Note: This menu is only available for digital stations.

Installing new DVB software

To ensure your DVB-S receiver is always performing at the state of the art, newly developed software versions are made available from time to time; these are broadcast via satellite and can be automatically installed on your set (only possible via ASTRA1).

Searching for new software

If you want to carry out a manual search for new software, proceed as follows:

Call the TV menu using the MENU button.

Confirm the “Settings“ using OK.

Confirm the “Miscellaneous“ using OK.

Downloading software

If you press OK in the dialogue above, you can decide whether you want to

1. download the new software immediately, when you switch off the set or not at all. We recommend you always carry out the update of the digital software. This is the only way to ensure your set is always up to date.

If you do decide to update, the software is initialised on your set and you are

2. informed of the status with a grey bar.

Do not switch your set off during this time. This process may take up to one hour. You will be informed when the process is completed.

After the software is updated, you will be asked to switch your TV set off and

3. back on again using the on/standby switch.

Software is recognised automatically

The set can determine whether a new software version is available. This occurs at night when your EPG is automatically updated. For this, your TV set has to remain in the standby mode (do not switch off using the on/off button on the set).

If a new software version has been found, the set will indicate this with an onscreen message the next time the set is switched on: You can decide whether or not you want to download the new software. Confirm using OK, so that the new software can be loaded and installed via satellite. Continue as set out in the “Downloading software“ section

If the update was not carried out, you will be asked several times when you switch on the set whether you want to carry out this update.

Operating modes – PIP

Picture in picture (PIP)

Note: The coloured keys do not work as described below with DVB-T stations in UK, but they operate as described on page 30 (Digital Teletext). Picture in picture displays are possible if the set has an analogue PIP tuner or a digital satellite tuner in addition to the analogue TV cable tuner. You can have a PIP tuner or a digital satellite tuner retrofitted. Set-specific equipment and retrofitting options for PIP and satellite tuners, see pages 44 and 45. If there is no other tuner installed, you can use PIP (AV-PIP) when playing a video recorder or DVD player. For a retrofitted PIP tuner, the following PIP displays are possible: Main picture analogue – PIP picture analogue, Main picture digital – PIP picture analogue. The following is not possible: Main picture digital – PIP picture digital, Main picture analogue – PIP picture digital. For “Split screen,“ the PIP picture is displayed on the right side of the screen. Both pictures share the screen in two equal halves. For the “Small PIP“ setting, a small picture is displayed in the TV picture. The green bar/frame indicates that the control commands have an effect on the PIP picture. The white bar/frame means that the control commands have an effect on the main picture. Use the green coloured key to switch between the PIP picture and the main picture, for example to change stations. The frame or bar between the pictures is green for the time being.

EPG - Programme guide

EPG is an electronic programme guide. With this system, you can easily find the programmes that interest you (sorted according to day, time, stations and topics). You can mark programmes and programme recordings. Depending on whether you are receiving analogue stations by cable/antenna or digital stations, you will have different programme guides. A wizard is activated the first time you use EPG (not with DVB) which guides you through the necessary settings. Then run the data capture (see next page).

Operating modes – EPG

In front of the programme’s title, the system places an ۪. This station is switched later to this programme when the set is switched on. If the TV is off, it switches on again automatically at the beginning of the marked programme if this has been set in the EPG menu. If you are out, a security prompt prevents the TV set staying on unattended. Before leaving the upper selection lines using the blue coloured key, select a specific line. If you have switched back to the programme list, you can change this menu line using  without having to leave the programme list.

Programming recording for recorders

The programme marked using the  buttons can be prepared for recording by pressing the red coloured key. In the following menu, confirm the timer data or change them as required. Then a red dot is set in front of this programme in the EPG programme list as an identification (if timer data is being transferred to the recorder, no red dot is set). If you select this programme, you can delete it from the timer using the red coloured key (if the timer data has been transferred to a recorder, the timer has to be deleted there).

You will find the following settings in the EPG menu:

• Select provider • Station selection • Timer list • Data capture

• Switch on TV when marked

Selecting providers and stations

If you want to change the provider for analogue TV reception (the station which transmits EPG data) to have other stations evaluated, you can do this under “Select provider“. Select “Select provider“ and call this menu using OK. If the station you want to switch to is not listed in the “Select provider“ list, then use the yellow coloured key to start the automatic search for stations with EPG data. This takes a while. Or, if you know the station that transmits EPG data, press the blue coloured key to compile manually. Select the provider in the station list and adopt it by using OK and return to the provider selection using . Select the provider in “Select provider“ and adopt it using OK. Then a station list search is performed. The stations offered by the provider are displayed in a list.

First, all stations are marked with the ۪ symbol so that their data is displayed in the programme guide (precondition: provided EPG data is broadcast for the respective station). Stations indicated by ۬ are analogue terrestrial/cable stations, stations indicated by ۼ are DVB-T stations, stations indicated by ۽ are DVB-C stations and stations indicated by ۻ are DVB-S stations. These stations are available for evaluation in the programme guide.

Select the stations you want to omit from the programme guide one after another and deactivate each one by using OK. The ۪ symbol is removed.

Data capture

After these settings or after each time the set is switched off using the mains switch, the data must first be collected, before switching on the set. To do this, select the station you have defined as a provider and leave the TV set switched on for about one hour or switch the set to the standby mode. After about two minutes in standby mode, the indicator on the set turns orange. The data acquisition begins and lasts about 1 hour. When data acquisition is terminated, the indicator turns red again. The data are also automatically captured between 2 a.m. and 5 a.m. when the TV is switched to standby. A prerequisite for data capture is that “Data capture“ is “on“ (for DVB + analogue) in the EPG menu. Note: If the TV set is switched off using the mains switch or the mains plug is pulled out, all EPG data are lost. If, for example, you cannot receive any analogue EPG providers or if you only use DVB, you should set the data capture to “on (only for DVB)“.

Switch on TV when marked

You can have the TV switched on automatically from standby at the beginning of the marked programme. If you are not present at the time, a safety prompt makes sure the TV switches off again after 5 minutes.

Digital teletext operation (only for MHEG-5 device versions x27/28)

In the UK, the teletext for DVB-T stations is transmitted as per the MHEG-5 standard (standard of the Multimedia and Hypermedia Expert Group). It contains text, graphics, functions and links. The operation of these menus depends on the particular provider. Normally after a station is changed, the provider broadcasting the digital teletext makes an introductory offer for this service on the screen via menu selection. Follow these notes. If no message appears telling you how to switch to digital teletext after switching to another station, press the TEXT key. If a selection for DVB subtitles is available, this item must be hidden before.

Depending on the provider’s respective offer, you can use the  buttons and the OK button, the coloured keys, the END/TEXT button and sometimes even the numeric buttons. If you want to close the digital teletext, just select a different station using the P+/P– buttons or follow the menu prompts on the screen.

Notes:

• Digital teletext is not available when DVB subtitles are being displayed.

• If a timer recording is programmed at the TV-set, at the start time of the recording the digital teletext mode is switched off automatically

Video playback

There are several ways to see the picture and hear the sound of the VCR, DVD player/recorder or camcorder on your TV:

1. You can usually use the Euro-AV sockets on the TV set and on the VCR. For camcorders or digital cameras, use the AVS sockets on the right of the TV set. DVD players/recorders and SetTopBoxes may have HDMI or component sockets for video and audio transmission. In this case, use the corresponding sockets on the TV set.

When playing back from a video recorder using Euro-AV socket and Digital

Link Plus (or a comparable system from another manufacturer), the picture from the VCR is shown at the current channel location.

When playing back from another VCR, camcorder or digital camera, use the AV

selection or the station list (OK) to select the AV socket/the device to which the VCR is connected.

Video recorders transmit a switching voltage during playback, which the

TV can evaluate (can be activated in the connection wizard or in the “TV menu – Connections – Miscellaneous – Allow switching voltage“ - set to “yes“). Then the picture of the video recorder is shown during playback at the current station location.

2. You can use the antenna connection between the VCR and the TV without a Euro-AV socket. The sound is only transmitted in mono. Select the first menu item, e.g. VIDEO, in the AV selection.

Calling AV inputs in the AV selection:

Timer recording with video or DVD recorder

You can programme timer recordings on the TV set. Programming can be done with the EPG programme guide (not with DVB-T in UK), teletext or manually. Call the “Timer list“ menu with the button and press the red coloured key for the “Recording wizard“. Select whether you want to programme the recording via EPG, teletext or manually. You also have the option to programme recordings directly from the EPG programme guide or teletext. Note: Copy-protected programmes are not output to the Euro-AV sockets for legal reasons. When you have connected the Euro-AV socket to a recorder which has Digital Link Plus or a comparable system from a different manufacturer, the timer data of analogue terrestrial stations are transmitted from the TV to the recorder. The recording quality SQ or EQ is transmitted for DVD recorders, in addition to the station, date and time. The recording is then controlled by the recorder and the recorder tuner is used for reception of the station. The recording data are not saved in the timer list of the TV set. You will only find the timer data in the recorder. If you want to record from digital stations, the TV tuner is used and the recorder is controlled by the TV set. Then the station is locked during the timer recording. If you have connected a Loewe video recorder with Digital Link to the Euro-AV socket (without Digital Link Plus) and you are using the timer programming of the TV, the TV receiver is always used, for terrestrial stations as well. The TV controls the recording. You have to set the recorder to the AV input (signal source) to which the TV set is connected. Then the station on the TV set is locked during the timer recording. Digital Link must be switched on on the recorder. Read the operating instructions of your Loewe recorder for more information. Use only Euro-AV cables, which are completely wired, otherwise Digital Link/Digital Link Plus will not work. Another advantage of Digital Link is that you can install the recorder in a concealed place (e.g. in a rack). You can control the recorder with the TV set. If you have a Loewe recorder with both systems, you can use all the advantages. The advantages of Digital Link Plus are used for the timer recording; the advantages of Digital Link for concealed installation of the recorder.

Audio output “AUDIO DIGITAL OUT“

The digital audio signal is applied at the “AUDIO DIGITAL OUT“ socket of the TV. For example, you can connect an external digital audio amplifier or the Loewe Auro system here.

An analogue audio signal from the TV set or another sound source which is received at one of the Euro-AV sockets of the TV set is converted into a digital signal (PCM) and output at the “AUDIO DIGITAL OUT“ socket. Conversion from external analogue AV sources to PCM is not possible if the TV’s loudspeakers are used as a centre channel. In this case, connect your audio amplifier additionally to the TV (AUDIO OUT L/R) with a cinch cable and switch the audio amplifier to analogue audio input.

The digital TV sound or the digital sound of a connected auxiliary device is only audible via an external digital audio amplifier (e.g. Loewe Auro system).

HDMI (DVI) connection

The HDMI connection (High Definition Multimedia Interface) allows digital picture and sound transmission via a connecting cable, e.g. from Loewe DVD Recorder Centros 2102/2172 HD. The digital

picture and sound data are transmitted without data compression and therefore lose none of their quality. In the equipment connected, no analogue/ digital conversion is necessary, which might also have lead to losses in quality. DVI signals can be also be reproduced by the HDMI connection using a DVI/HDMI adapter cable. This is possible because HDMI is based on DVI and is downwardly compatible. That means that the digital video signals are transmitted via HDMI

- no audio signals are transmitted, though. In addition, both use the same copy protection method HDCP.

Connect the set with an HDMI connection using an HDMI cable (type A, 19-pin) to the HDMI socket of the TV set. Log in the HDMI connection in the connection wizard (TV menu - Connections - New devices/modifications).

Select the HDMI connection in the AV selection.

If transmission occurs via a DVI/HDMI adapter cable, then you can feed in the appropriate analogue audio via the audio input sockets AUDIO IN L/R on the TV set. The sound is reproduced via the TV speakers. If you have connected a digital external audio amplifier, you can select the digital audio signal in the connection wizard (TV menu - Connections - New devices/modifications) and assign it to the HDMI/DVI socket. You can make the other settings for the audio amplifier as described for digital amplifiers on page 36. The digital audio signal of the DVI audio source is fed in at the AUDIO DIGITAL IN socket on the TV. Feed the digital audio signal from the TV AUDIO DIGITAL OUT to the external amplifier.
