whereby it is possible to operate the TV and the recorder with a single remote control.

✳ Depending on the model and version of

TV set. The TV equipment is displayed on the screen when you call „Information“ (→ page 59).

• Possible integration of a satellite receiver in your TV. This means a satellite antenna can be connected directly to your TV set and you need only one remote control to select both terrestrial and satellite stations.

Notes on these operating instructions

Do not just throw these instructions aside. Even if you are long familiar with the operation of a TV set: this set will show you a few things you have never seen.

The foldout pages at the beginning show you the remote control, the local operating panel on the set and the connections on the back of the TV. Leave these pages folded out when you

are „studying“ the instructions.

The operating instructions have been printed in three columns. The lefthand column is for the reader in a hurry, e.g. if you are already vaguely familiar with the set. The centre column describes the necessary operating steps in detail. The right-hand column provides additional information on the respective topic.

The operating instructions should help you to get to know all your TV’s functions.

We wish you a lot of fun and good viewing with your Loewe.

Thank you and congratulations. You have chosen a Loewe TV set which gives you the latest state-of-the-art in design and technology. It has some features which distinguish it as a TV of extraordinary quality.

Operating comfort

• All the TV’s functions can be controlled comfortably and easily with the remote control.

• The well-contrived on-screen dialog display. The respective buttons of the remote control required for the next operating step are displayed on screen.

• Automatic station programming; all receivable TV stations are stored automatically and the order of programs sorted country-specifically. Even the program abbreviations of stations which broadcast teletext or VPS, e.g. ARD or ZDF, etc. are displayed. This automatic programming system also works for satellite programs.

• Teletext Plus; enables immediate access to more than 100 teletext pages. You can „page“ through the teletext as quickly and easily as reading a newspaper. The teletext decoder decodes the TOP and FLOF teletext systems. If the set is fitted with a PIP unit or a satellite tuner, you can even look at what other station teletexts have to offer without changing the current TV program.

State-of-the-art technology

• 100 hertz frame repetition rate for

flicker-free pictures (large area flicker)

• activatable freeze frame

• DNC digital noise control

• The set only consumes about 1 W of

power in standby mode.

Positioning and Connecting the Set

Positioning

Position your set so that no bright light or sunlight falls directly onto the screen. Otherwise the brilliance of the picture will be affected by reflections.

The air vents on the back of the set must be kept clear at all times to allow the set to cool. Leave enough room at the back if you stand your set on a shelf or in a cabinet.

The Planus models are fitted with a revolving base to allow the set to be turned to the ideal viewing angle.

Connecting

To the mains Plug the TV’s mains plug into a socket. The set will operate on 195 to 260 volts AC, 50 or 60 hertz.

To the antenna Connect your set to the antenna as shown opposite with a coaxial antenna cable (75 ohms).

Connecting a video recorder Connect the coaxial antenna cable to the antenna socket (aerial) of the recorder. Connect the output of the video recorder (RF-Out) to the TV’s antenna input (VHF/ UHF) with a second antenna cable.

Further antenna connections are necessary if the set is fitted with a satellite receiver (Sat tuner): these are described in more detail in the separate operating instructions „Satellite Receivers“.

Safety Instructions

• If the set is moved from a cool environment to a warm room, do not switch it on until it has been given reasonable time (about 1 hour) to warm up.

• The set is designed for the home and office and may not be used in rooms with a high humidity or concentration of dust.

• Make sure the set stands firmly when placed on a shelf, a table or in a cabinet.

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

• The slits in the rear panel are for cooling of the set and should never be covered up with mats or curtains.

• Make sure no metal parts, pins, paper clips, liquids or wax are dropped or spilt through the ventilation slits in the back of the set. If this should happen, switch off the the set immediately with the On/Off switch and pull out the mains plug.

• Never remove the rear panel from the set. Only have the set repaired by the service technician.

• In case of imminent thunderstorms, pull out the mains plug and the antenna plug from the socket to protect your set.

General information on your TV set

The dialog between you and your TV set takes place on screen with an operator menu. The buttons on the remote control required for the operating steps are also displayed.

First choose „your language“. All onscreen displays then appear in this language.

Remote control functions

All operating functions and basic adjustments can be controlled with the remote control.

The remote control transmits your commands to the TV set by means of infrared light; always point the remote control towards the TV set for operation.

Inserting the batteries

Slide back the cover as far as it will go. Take a screwdriver or ballpoint pen; push the screwdriver blade or tip of the ballpoint pen into the small opening directly behind the button. Lift the cover a little way past the detent position. The cover can now be removed completely.

Insert the two batteries the right way round, the correct polarity is embossed on the floor of the battery compartment, replace the cover and slide it back until the battery compartment is closed.

The batteries will last more than 1 year. Check the batteries for leakage after 1 year and change used batteries in good time. This will avoid the contact springs being destroyed.

Use only microcells of the IEC LR 03 alkali-manganese type.

Information on battery disposal:

• Do not throw used batteries in household

waste.

• Hand them in at a collection point for old

batteries (e.g. battery collection box at the dealers) or at the special waste depot.

Choose country

Start auto-programming

Select range

On choosing the country, the TV norm common to this country (in the United Kingdom=PAL-I, in Germany = PAL-BG, in France = SECAM-L etc.) and a countryspecific program sorting are called automatically.

For Germany, for example, the ARD program is stored on program slot 01, ZDF on program slot 02, a regional program on slot 03 and so on.

TV stations broadcast their programs in different frequency ranges and on different channels. For instance, in the VHF/UHF range (terrestrial), in cable TV systems also in the special channel range or via satellite in the satellite range.

If you choose the ASTRA satellite, the set searches for stations with the PAL norm in the 910 to 2050 MHz frequency range. Both polarization levels are searched one after the other. On condition that the antenna system is suitable for a polarization switching with 13/18 volts.

If you choose the Telecom satellite, the set searches for stations with the SECAM-L norm. If stations with teletext or VPS identification are found, an abbreviation for the program name is stored as well.

If you want to store the TV programs in a different order, see the chapter „Sorting programs“ on page 65.

Notes:

1. If stations have already been stored after the entered number, these will be cleared and replaced by new ones in the automatic programming.

2. If your TV is equipped with a satellite tuner, program numbers 21 to 39 and 50 to 99 are pre-programmed with satellite programs which you should only clear if possible when the satellite antenna has been adjusted. These satellite programs simplify adjustment of the satellite antenna.

3. If program place 99 is exceeded in the automatic programming of a set with a satellite tuner, the program places are extended to 200.

The automatic station search takes place over the whole TV range VHF/UHF channel CH 01 to 12 and CH 21 to 69 and in the special channel range CC 01 to CC 47.

If no program name can be assigned to a station, the channel number is displayed and stored. For example, a station in the VHF range on channel 7 is represented by CH 07 and a station in the special channel range on channel 12 by CC 12. Stations in the satellite range are identified by S. See page 63 to find out how to program the correct program name.

„Change the secret code“

Secret code 0000 is the basic setting. This means the parental lock is not activated. Enter your own secret code to activate it.

Operation with the parental lock activated

After switching on, on reaching the „Lock time“, on receiving „adult films“ or on selecting a locked program, the picture disappears and the secret code is requested. If you want to carry on watching the TV, enter the secret code. If the secret code is unknown, e.g. to children, the set switches off after 20 seconds.

You can set several locks: e.g. „Adult films“ and „certain programs“ and „all programs from“ If „Access code ✶✶✶✶“ appears, a code number has already been stored, you must enter this first or cancel the secret code.

On the inside back cover of this manual you will find a code number with which you can erase a secret code you have forgotten. Remove the card immediately and keep it in a safe place. This code number resets to 0000.

At present, the identification „Adult film“ (VPS) is only used by a few stations (e.g. RTL). Information on which films are broadcast with a code can be found in the teletext of the appropriate station.

Locked programs are displayed in red in the program table if the parental lock is activated with the secret code. In „Lock all programs from“, the lock is active until 6.00 h the next morning.

If you want to clear the set locks, enter secret code 0000. Remember your secret code. For safety, you only see four asterisks on the screen instead of the secret code.

If you enter the wrong code, a message is displayed first. Note: Once the secret code has been entered, it is not asked for again until switching off.

Timer functions

To ensure that the time and date can be read clearly, we recommend that you store the local main station with teletext at program slot 1, 2 or 3.

In stations with a simple teletext system it may be that only the date or the time can be seen. In this case, enter the time or date yourself. Your entries always have priority, i.e. the date and time will not change even if you then switch to a station with teletext and a different time zone.

Take the time zone into account for foreign stations, especially when video recording with the timer!

The programmed functions „Switch off at“, „Alarm at“ and „Alarm signal tone“ are repeated daily. The functions can, however, be deactivated without erasing the programmed times. Select the „Switch off at“ or „Alarm at“ line, deactivate the function by pressing X , this is displayed by - - : - -.

Switch the function back on: Select the appropriate function and call with X.

Teletext signals are broadcast together with the TV signal. Teletext transmits information in word and graphics, e.g. news, weather, sport, program previews and subtitles. The teletext pages are sorted according to subjects, topics and pages. You can select from different subjects and topics and leaf through the pages. Good reception is a precondition; i.e. little „ghosting“ and no „noise“ in the TV picture. Sometimes the standard frequencies are not kept exactly in satellite receptions and community antenna systems. Fine tuning is necessary in this case. If picture errors still persist on certain programs, ask your dealer to have a look at your antenna system. Teletext is broadcast in most programs in the TOP operating system (or the FLOF system abroad). Your Loewe TV set supports both these systems. Teletext without these systems are also easy to operate with your Loewe TV.

Switch back to TV mode:

Switching on the teletext

Press the VT button. You will normally get the overview page 100. If you switch to teletext mode immediately after switching on the set or changing programs, <TOP/FLOF identification working> will be visible for a short time in the menu line.

If TOP is recognized, you will see four coloured fields in the menu line which have a specific relationship to the buttons of your remote control. These are the buttons below the number block. These buttons have coloured circles which are arranged in the same order and have the same colours as on the screen. These have the functions: with red – turn back page with green + turn forward page with yellow go to next topic with blue go to next subject.

Switching back to TV

Switch back to TV mode with the TV or

button.

If you switch back to TV mode from teletext and you have not changed the program or switched off the set, the page last displayed is shown when you switch back to teletext.

If the FLOF operating system is recognized, you will usually get the index page, e.g. page 200, instead of page 100. The possible selections are entered in a coloured script or on a coloured background in the menu line. Not all pages need necessarily be FLOF pages so that <no TOP/FLOF> may appear when you are leafing through the pages.

If no operating system is recognized, the LOEWE operating system is activated. <no TOP/FLOF> appears in the menu line.

If no teletext is broadcast, <no text> flashes in the menu line.

Selecting subpages/multiple pages

Multiple pages are pages which are changed without your intervention. Multiple pages usually consist of several subpages which are identified by a four-digit subpage number in addition to the three-digit page number. Multiple pages are often recognizable by a reference on the page such as 04/12; which means page 4 of a total 12 pages is currently on the screen.

Connecting other equipment – videorecor ders/camcor ders

Connecting video recorders or camcorders

You can connect any VCR to your TV. Loewe VCRs, however, are specially adapted to these TVs. This has the advantage that you can control the important functions of the VCR with the TV remote control. You can record both terrestrial and satellite programs (providing a satellite tuner is fitted) with the „VCR programming“ function. There are several ways of connecting your video recorder to the TV set:

1. An antenna - video recorder - TV connection, this allows you to tape a TV program with the video recorder and watch another program on the TV at the same time. The disadvantages of this type of connection are:

• Poorer picture and sound quality in reproduction.

• Reproduction in stereo sound not possible.

• You cannot use the TV timer functions.

2. A connection by means of an AV cable from the video recorder to one of the EURO-AV sockets on the TV set. The advantages of this type of connection are:

• Better picture and sound quality.

• Stereo sound reproduction is possible.

• You can select Sound 1 or Sound 2 when playing back a 2 Sound recording.

• A concealed Loewe video recorder can be operated with the TV remote control.

• The possibility of recording programmes with the videorecorder with the timer and the TV set receiver units.

• The possibility of recording programs with the video recorder with the timer and the receiving points of the TV. We recommend both types of connection, in this way you can use all the functions of your video recorder and TV set without restrictions.

3. You can connect camcorders for playback or copying either to the front socket „S-TERMINAL“/“AVS“ (for S-VHS, Hi8) or to the cinch socket „Video in“ (for VHS, 8 mm video). Only connect one camcorder, never two at once! Feed the sound into the two cinch sockets „L AUDIO R“. Use one of the EURO-AV sockets for Profil 2570Z.

Video playback through the antenna socket

Program slot 00 is preprogrammed specially (short time constant) for good reception of the video recorder channel (CH 36). Select this program slot on the TV set. Most video recorders are set to channel 36 or 37. You can check this by switching on the video recorder’s „test signal“ or switching the video recorder to play. If you do not get perfect picture and sound reproduction or no reproduction at all, you can set the video recorder’s transmitter to another channel. Channels 30 to 39 are normally used. There is an adjustor „RF CHANNEL ADJ“ on the back of the video recorder. Set the video recorder’s transmitter so that the picture and sound are reproduced perfectly. Of course you can also use the „Station search and store“ menu to find and fine tune the video recorder transmitter.

For setup:

• „AV1“ or „AV 2“, AV-playback through EURO-AV socket 1 or 2 possible for units which emit a switching voltage, e.g. video recorders.

• „AV1!“ or „AV2!“ AV playback possible through socket 1 or 2 without switching voltage e.g. camcorders.

• „AV1/Dec.“ or „AV2/Dec.“ AV playback with connection of an SVHS recorder with connected decoder with switching voltage.

• „AV1/Dec.!“ or „AV2/Dec.!“ AV playback with connection of an SVHS recorder with connected Première decoder without switching voltage. We recommend this setup if the coded signal is to be recorded by the video recorder.

• „AVS!“ AV playback through the front socket „S-TERMINAL“/“AVS“ or the cinch socket „Video in“ (AVS not available in Profil 2570Z).

Whether the connected video recorder or decoder supplies a switching voltage during playback can be found out from the operating manuals which accompany this equipment. The exclamation mark indicates that this program place cannot be used for TV but only for AV, i.e. as a monitor. The video recorder outputs a switching voltage if it is switched to playback. You can now watch your recordings instead of the TV.

Attention!

If timer recordings are programmed, the TV set may on no account be switched off at the on/off button, otherwise the timer data will be lost. If you switch your TV set to standby with the remote control. This is signalled by the red and green lamps on the TV set’s local operating panel for VPS search (approx. 1 hour before recording) and during recording. Note: On „VPS On“, your video recorder will be controlled by the VPS times transmitted by the station. If you set „VPS Off“, the video recorder will record with the data set in your VCR programming. Make sure you have set the correct date and time on your TV set! You can get the VPS times from the program preview by pressing the?button. Broadcasts with VPS may start earlier or later, the TV set therefore searches for the VPS information before the start time. If you are watching a TV program, the TV set switches over to the program to be recorded about 10 minutes before recording is due to begin. The message „Video recording“ is displayed. It is now no longer possible to switch over to another program unless your TV is fitted with a satellite tuner. For example you can watch a terrestrial program while recording a satellite program. Programming for recording series: Enter the program number, start and stop time as usual. Enter the day of the week (1 = Monday - 7 = Sunday) instead of the date and always 00 for the month. Examples: Daily series = 17.00, sundays only = 77.00 saturdays and sundays only = 67.00, daily monday to friday = 15.00.
