Setup
Installation possibilities:
• as a desktop unit
– on a sideboard or table (Xelos SL 32 HD/37
HD.
– Using a rotary table stand (Motor Unit) you
can adjust your Spheros 32 HD or 37 HD
easily with the remote control to suit your
sitting position.
• on a Flat-TV F-Stand
as a standing unit, manually rotatable.
• Spheros 32 HD or 37 HD on the
System Rack Cube 1, Cube 2
with motor control for rotating the TV set
and shelves for DVD player, VCR etc.
• as a wall unit, the flat screen (LCD) can
be hung on the wall like a picture. It can be
tilted up to 5°.
Auxiliary devices such as VCRs, DVD players,
Pay-TV decoders, Loewe sound systems
Concertos/Certos can be connected to the
Spheros Signal Box.
Operation
We have designed the TV set in such a way that
it is easy to operate with menus. If you need
information on operating the set, simply press
the i key on the remote control to display the
help texts, which will quickly enable you to
understand the system.
For your safety ...
For your own safety and to avoid unnecessary
damage to your equipment, protect it against
• moisture, splashing and dripping water
• shock and mechanical stress
• cold, heat and extreme temperature
fluctuations
• dust
• covering which obstructs air circulation
• tampering with the insides
Never place vases filled with water, lit candles
etc. on the TV set.

If you have moved the set out of the cold into a
warm environment, leave it switched off for
about an hour because of the possible forming
of condensation.
PHOTOVIEWER
COMMON INTERFACE
• Avoid metal parts, needles, paper clips,
liquids, wax or similar 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 set switch it off immediately at the on/
off switch, pull out the power plug and
notify the after-sales service for inspection.
•The TV power plug must be easily accessible
so that the TV can be disconnected from the
power supply at all times.
• Lay the power cable so that it cannot 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
power cable with damaged insulation can
lead to electric shocks and is a fire risk.
• When removing the power 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.
•Your new TV has been built exclusively for
use in a home environment. The warranty
covers this normal use of the device.
• Only have repairs done by the
Loewe Service.
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.

31963_021_RC3_GB 14.01.2005, 10:40 Uhr6
Lightning can damage your TV through the
antenna and the mains. Therefore pull out
the antenna and power plugs during
thunderstorms and in longer periods of
absence.
Only transport the unit in an upright
position.

Setup and cleaning
Only hold the housing for transporting and
never the panel.
The front panel and the LCD screen underneath
it are made of glass and may break if not
properly handled. If the LCD screen is damaged
(not the glass panel) and in case of leaking
liquid crystal, wear rubber gloves to carry the
device.
In case of contact with the skin, wash the
affected areas thoroughly with water.
Note
During the whole period of use, pixel errors
may appear on the screen in the form of lighter
or darker spots, this phenomenon is typical for
an LCD display. It is not a defect.
• Install the Spheros Signal Box and the
screen with room for air circulation. The air
vents may not be covered by objects such as
magazines, table cloths, curtains etc.

• Check the strength of furniture (e.g. tables,
sideboards) before placing the set on it.
•Take the swivel range into account when
installing a set with a rotary motor unit.
• Make sure no bright light or sunlight falls
onto the screen otherwise reflections will be
caused and the brilliance of the picture lost.
• Do not place the Signal Box on edge but on
its feet.

• Do not place naked flames, e.g. lit candles,
on the set.
Note on installing the flat screen (LCD):
Observe the enclosed installation instructions
depending on the type of set you have
purchased and installation.
With the Xelos SL 32 HD and 37 HD types a
stand (Xelos table stand) is usually delivered
for the LCD.
Handling the mesh tube
Use the enclosed mesh tube to lay the screen,
base, wall holder or rack cables tidily and guide
the hose with the cables to the Signal box. This
looks more elegant.
The diameter of the mesh tube widens when it
is pushed together lengthwise (see figure). This
makes it easier to push through the cables with
plugs.
Cleaning the front panel
(Only for Spheros 32/37 HD)
The inside of the front panel and the LCD
screen need to be cleaned from time to time.
Only remove the front panel when the TV has
been switched off and has cooled down. The
metal frame of the LCD panel may reach a
temperature of up to 60°C in operation !
100
• Hold the glass panel at the bottom right
mm
and left and pull the panel out of the guide
about 4 cm.
.
• Push the glass panel up evenly.
• Unhook the glass panel at the top and
remove.
Use a damp, soft cloth to clean the LCD screen
and a glass cleaner for the glass panel.
Replacing the front panel:
• Make sure you do not damage the LCD
screen with the fastening bolts on the front
panel.
• Hang the glass panel into the guide rails at
the top with both fastening bolts.
•Then press the glass panel down lightly
onto the screen until it snaps into place.
31963_021_RC3_GB 14.01.2005, 10:40 Uhr7
Clean the other components such as the
remote control and signal box with a damp,
soft cloth only (without aggressive and
abrasive cleaning agents).

Modes of operation
TV mode
In initial installation and daily operation, the TV
set is in TV mode. This is also the case when
none of the other modes of operation such as

Every one of these modes of operation has a
menu which you can call with the MENU-
button and with some color button
assignments.
Function of the color buttons in TV mode
You can assign the functions of the four color
buttons yourself. The following functions are set
at the factory:
red: personal teletext page
(with DR+: call DR archive)
green: call picture format
setting (with DR+: call timer
overview)
yellow: call last viewed station

The explanation of the remote control
shows the function of every button in different
modes of operation of the TV set and the
remote control.
The index answers many questions regarding
all aspects of the TV. If it is a question about
the operation, you have direct access to the
operating function from the index.
Loewe TV sets are supplied in different models
with different equipment. You can find out
what equipment your TV has under the menu
item "Technical spec. of the TV set".
When you have made all the settings and
connections, you can switch over to
"Simplified control"(not in digital TV) using
"Select Mode". Then the "Settings" and
"Connections" can no longer be launched in all
modes of operation menus. Switch "Simplified
control" back off when you want to make
settings.

You will find information about this in the
chapter "Logging in and connecting AV
equipment" on page 21/23.
zap2text
Some stations use this service. If teletext pages
are referred to during a program, the TV set
saves and/or displays this page number. You
call the teletext page with the TEXT button
from the display during the program or from
this menu.
Some settings in the TV menu:
Child lock
Use the child lock if you want to prevent your
children watching after a certain time, once or
daily, all or certain programs.
On-screen displays
You can define duration and position of the
displays, the content of the program and status
display and activate or deactivate zap2text as a
display.
Timer functions
You can have your TV switch on and off at
specific times or have yourself reminded by a
signal tone.
Time and date
When you receive teletext, the TV records the
right date and time settings. The time serves as
information for timer recordings, timer
functions and EPG. If you do not receive
teletext you should set the date and time and
not switch the TV off with the mains button as
the settings will then be lost (Not all stations
transmit the full date, you may have to add
missing data manually).
Language
If "your" menu language is not set, you have
to select the "Language" menu in a language
you cannot understand:
Press the MENU-button (TV menu), mark the
last menu item (settings), press the OK button
and mark the last menu item (Language) under
"other ..." and press the OK button.
Now select the right language and confirm with
OK.

much more versatile than those of a video
recorder. Use the separate ”Digital Recorder
