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 GB). 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. Functions
indicated by
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+.

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 panel may only be removed by your dealer even in case of dirt
on the inside.
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
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.
• 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 equip-
ment, your TV needs air
for cooling. Obstruction
10 cm
of the air circulation can
cause fi res. Therefore
the air vents on the back
10 cm
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 suffi cient air circulation.
Downloaded From TV-Manual.com Manuals
- 10
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 set was retrofi tted 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
illustration on page 7.
Set-specifi c equipment and retrofi tting options for PIP and satellite tuners, see
pages 46 and 47.
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, 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 conditional access module
In order to be able to receive encrypted digital stations, the conditional access
module (CA module
corresponding slot of your TV set. You can fi nd the slot common interface (CI-
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.
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 carefully into the slot with the
contact side facing the front. The logo on the CA
module should be visible.
Make sure the module is not twisted in the process.
Do not use force.
When the module locks, the eject button is pressed
outwards.

run by pressing the blue button within the band selected (VHF or UHF).
