Connections on the signal box

Connecting the cables

To connect the antenna cable or cables from other electronic components, lift up the signal box on the back of the TV.

fig. 1

1.Hold the signal box at the bottom center and pull it up (see fig. 1 arrow).

fig. 2

3.If all cables are connected, fix the metal bracket with the two knurled nuts (see fig. 3/4).

fig. 3

fig. 4

4. Lower the signal box back into the rear of the TV set by holding the box by the metal bracket (see fig. arrow), this avoids trapping your fingers.

2.Connect the antenna(e) and any existing cables of other electronic components.

4

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.

Installation, Cleaning, For your safety ...

Transporting

Only transport the TV set in an upright position. Hold the set at the top and bottom of the housing and not by the screen.

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.

Installation

•Position the set with room for ventilation. The air vents may not be covered by objects such as magazines, table cloths, curtains etc.

•Position the set so that it is not exposed to direct sunlight and additional heating from radiators.

•Observe the swivel range when installing a set with rotary motor unit and do not place any objects such as flower vases in this area.

•Make sure no bright light or sunlight falls onto the screen otherwise reflections will be caused and the brilliance of the picture lost.

Cleaning

Use only a soft, damp cloth to clean the TV and the remote control. Do not use any caustic or abrasive

cleaning agents.

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.

•Do not place naked flames, e.g. lit candles, on or near to the set.

•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.

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.

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.

6

•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.

•Never let children handle the TV unattended or play in the immediate vicinity of it. The TV could be knocked over causing injury.

•Never remove the back of the TV set yourself. The set operates with high voltages which could be fatal.

For your safety ...

•Repairs should only be carried out by Loewe Service or authorized TV technicians.

Note

•The screen you have purchased meets the highest quality requirements in this sector and has been tested for pixel errors. Despite the utmost caution in production of the display, 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 specified by the standard.

•The TV’s rating plate is on the back behind the signal box.

Note the voltage specifications with which the TV may be operated.

Connection

Power mains

Connect both power cables to 230V/50–60 Hertz sockets.

Antenna

Connect your antenna or cable system to the UHF/VHF antenna socket on the back of the Signal Box.

•In sets with the ”Digital-TV Upgrade Kit 2 Sat/Twin-Sat CIor CIP” connect the Sat antenna cable to the ”ANT-1” and ”ANT-2” sockets, in this way you can receive two satellite programs simultaneously, e.g. for PIP display.

•In sets with ”Digital-TV Upgrade Kit 2-T/S” connect the antennae to the Signal Box as shown below.

•For the version with ”Digital-TV Upgrade Kit 2 T-CI” connect a room antenna or roof antenna to the ”ANT-1” socket to receive digital terrestrial programs.

Connecting the equipment

Auxiliary devices such as VCRs, DVD players, Pay-TV decoders, Loewe sound systems Concertos/Certos can be connected to the Spheros Signal Box.

Operation on the signal box

Important!

If the TV is equipped with the ”Digital Recorder Plus”, switch the TV off first before you fold out or fold in the signal box.

This prevents damage to the hard disk by vibrations.

You can gain access to the control panel of the signal box by holding it at the top right and left and pulling it back slightly (see the arrows in the figure).

You can connect headphones or a camcorder to the signal box.

Depending on the type of set, the slots for the memory cards (PhotoViewer) or ”Common Interface Module” for Pay TV are accessible.

Fold the signal box back in if you do not need the control panel. To do this, press slightly against the 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.

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.

Automatic programming

Automatic programming of the TV set is started the first time you switch it on. Follow the menus.

First you have to select the menu language for your set. Then you specify which antenna you have connected to your TV and in what country you are using it. Then you start the station search. The TV set searches for, saves and sorts all programs which are freely receivable on your antenna system.

You then see a list of the stored stations in which you can mark your favorites. Finally log in your video recorders, decoders, Loewe audio system and Home Automation with the connection wizard and connect these to the TV set according to the illustrated connection plan.

	OK	Select the settings with the
		arrows on the ring ...
		... confirm the settings with
	OK	OK. You then move on to the
		next menu ...

... press this button if you want information about the settings.

You can repeat initial installation at any time, e.g. after moving house. Call the index in the main information (i button). Then select the item "Repeat initial installation". Then start "Initial installation" with OK.

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.
