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 Defi nition 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 retrofi tted. 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 fi nd 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 (without
optional retrofi t kits). Functions indicated by
Menu contents may differ from the 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 Plus with the
additional DVB satellite tuner.
✳
are not available in all TV sets.

Welcome
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 defi ned by the warranty as long as
they are within the limits specifi ed by the standard.
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).
Use the cleaning cloth and cleaning agent included for this purpose (only for
Spheros R32/37).
Note: The front screen is to be removed only by a specialist dealer.
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
outside the EU) from your local government.

For your safety
10 cm
10 cm
10 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
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.
10 cm
• This equipment must
only be connected to
a mains power supply
10 cm
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 cloths on/over
the TV.
10 cm
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 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.

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 fi nd out more on the digital stations that can be received in your area
at your specialist dealer.
If a Spheros R32/37 was retrofi tted with a PIP tuner or if this is already
integrated in a set with a digital recorder. The PIP tuner output has to be
connected with the ANT-TV socket (Tuner 1). See illustration on page 7.
If a Digital Satellite Tuner 1 has been retrofi tted, connect your satellite antenna
system to the ANT-SAT socket.
If a Digital Satellite Tuner 2 has been retrofi tted (only in conjunction with the
Digital Recorder+), then 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 affi xed beneath the TV set.
Replace the connection cover on the TV set.
Handling the fabric hose
Use the fabric hose included to lay
the mains cables, antenna cables
or cables from other electronic
components systematically; then
lead the hose with the cables to
the connection boxes. This provides
you with an elegant solution when
laying cables.
The diameter of the fabric hose increases when you push it together lengthwise
(see illustration). This makes it easier for you to push through cables with plugs.
Using the common interface module
(only for sets with CI slot)
In order to be able to receive encrypted digital stations, the common interface
module (CI module) and the smartcard both have to be inserted into the
corresponding slot of your TV set. You can purchase the CI module and
smartcard at your specialist dealer. You can fi nd the slot on the back of your TV
set, see the illustration on pages 6/7.
1. Make sure the TV set is switched off with the mains switch on the set, or
pull the mains plugs.
2. First push the smartcard into the CI 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

Directing DVB-T antenna
Note: not with DVB-T stations in UK.
If you use a room antenna to receive one or more DVB-T stations that have
picture and sound interference, then you should change the location of where
the antenna is set up.
To help you direct your antenna or to help you determine the most suitable
location to set up the antenna, your TV set has a display for the signal quality
C/N and the signal strength Level.
Consult your specialist dealer to fi nd out which channels and frequency bands
(VHF or UHF) are used to broadcast the digital TV stations in your area.
On any one channel, several digital stations are broadcast.

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 button within the band selected (VHF or UHF).
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

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 (not for Spheros R 26) or a digital satellite tuner (not for UK sets)
retrofi tted. If there is no other tuner installed, you can use PIP (AV-PIP) when
playing a video recorder or DVD player.
For a retrofi tted 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
Note: The EPG does not work with DVB-T stations in UK. The "Now & Next"
feature for programme info of the current and next broadcast is displayed
instead.
EPG is an electronic programme guide. With this system, you can easily fi nd
the programmes that interest you (sorted according to day, time, channel and
topic). 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 fi rst time you use EPG (not with DVB) which guides you
through the necessary settings. Then run the data capture (see next page).
The programme guide menu is divided into two areas: at the top, you can
make the settings for the programme list (date, ..., topics); on the bottom, the
programme list is displayed. Use the blue coloured key to switch between the
two areas to make your selections.
All programmes currently running are listed initially in the programme list. With
the buttons, select the programme you want to watch and switch over
with the OK button.
Brief information is shown below the programme list for some programmes. If
more detailed information is available, you can call it using the TEXT button.
Use P+/P– to scroll up or down through the pages of the programme guide. In
the selection lines for date and time above, you will see the time change when
scrolling; when you scroll further, the date also changes. When the "Time"
line is selected, you can enter the time as of which the programmes are to be
displayed; use the numeric buttons on your remote control to do this. Always
enter four digits, such as 0900 for 9 a.m.

To do this, select the station you have defi ned 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, the orange indicator on the set lights up (for Spheros R 37,
both indicators light up). The data capture begins and lasts about 1 hour. 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.

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
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 fi rst menu
item, e.g. VIDEO, 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
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 additional 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 fi nd 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 amplifi er 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 amplifi er additionally
to the TV (AUDIO OUT L/R) with a cinch cable and switch the audio amplifi er 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 amplifi er (e.g. Loewe Auro system).
Connect the output socket of the DVD player (DIG OUT) to the TV‘s "AUDIO
DIGITAL IN" socket with a cinch cable.
In the connection wizard, specify that audio transmission is to be digital. Specify
that the digital sound is to be assigned for example to the Euro-AV socket 2 to
feed the digital sound to the digital audio output of the TV set and via this to
the external audio amplifi er. Further information about this can be found on

Connecting other audio amplifi ers or active
speakers
In the connection wizard, select "HiFi/AV amplifi er" under "Equipment
selection: audio component". The connection wizard allows confi guration of
different audio amplifi ers (stereo amplifi ers, surround amplifi ers, analogue or
digital) with different sound formats (Dolby Digital, dts, MPEG and Stereo/PCM).
Refer to the operating instructions for the audio amplifi er to be connected.
Select "Digital" under "Audio transmission" for digital audio amplifi ers.
Connect the digital audio output of the TV AUDIO DIGITAL OUT to the digital
audio input of the digital amplifi er.
Assign the digital audio input to the socket through which the corresponding
picture is transmitted (e.g. AV2 if a DVD player is connected there). Then the
digital sound is passed to the digital audio output of the TV set and fed to the
external audio amplifi er via this.
Specify which sound formats can be decoded with your digital amplifi er (Dolby
Digital, MPEG, dts).
Specify under "Type of amplifi er" whether the digital amplifi er is a stereo or
surround amplifi er.
If it is a surround amplifi er, specify whether or not the TV loudspeakers are to be
used as centre loudspeakers. Connect the centre output of the amplifi er to the
centre output of the TV using a cinch cable, if necessary.
Note: do not use the centre loudspeaker connection on the amplifi er; instead
use the pre-amplifi er centre output.
Select "Analogue" for "Sound transmission" for analogue audio amplifi ers.
The sound for the analogue amplifi er is transmitted via the AUDIO OUT L/R
connections of the TV to the audio amplifi er. Connect the amplifi er with two
cinch cables.
Specify under "Type of amplifi er" whether the analogue amplifi er is a stereo or
surround amplifi er.
If it is a surround amplifi er, also specify whether or not the TV speakers are to be
used as centre loudspeakers. Connect the centre output of the amplifi er to the
centre output of the TV using a cinch cable, if necessary. Note: do not use the
centre loudspeaker connection on the amplifi er; instead use the pre-amplifi er
centre output.

HDMI (DVI) connection
The HDMI connection (High Defi nition 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/modifi cations).
Select the HDMI connection in the AV selection.

The set automatically recognises and sets the best possible format for the video.
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 amplifi er, you can select the
digital audio signal in the connection wizard (TV menu - Connections - New
devices/modifi cations) and assign it to the HDMI/DVI socket. You can make
the other settings for the audio amplifi er as described for digital amplifi ers on

You need another cinch cable for the analogue sound transmission. Connect the
analogue audio outputs of the DVD player to the AUDIO IN L/R sockets on the
TV set. The sound is reproduced via the TV speakers.
If you want to use the digital sound of the DVD player with a digital audio
amplifi er connected to the TV, make a connection between AUDIO DIG OUT of
the DVD player and AUDIO DIGITAL IN of the TV set.
