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 Definition 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 retrofitted. 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 find 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.
TV equipment
The maximum equipment is described in these operating instructions (without optional retrofit kits). Functions indicated by are not available in all TV sets. 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.

Welcome
Note on the plasma screen (Xelos A 42)
The TV set with plasma 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 defined by the warranty as long as they are within the limits specified.
For plasma screens, the emission of light decreases the longer the unit is used.
Plasma screens work by using phosphor. In certain operating conditions, this technology may facilitate image burns. These operating conditions include:
•Lengthy, continuous display of a freeze frame (>10 minutes).
•Constant display of the same background.
•Use of a format that does not entirely fill the screen (such as 4:3) for a longer period of time.
Once an image is burnt into the display, it is usually not possible to remedy the problem; this situation is neither covered by the warranty nor by the guarantee. To avoid or reduce image burns on your screen, please follow these instructions and recommendations:
•During the first 100 hours of operation, you should display moving pictures for the most part or freeze frames that change frequently; these images are to fill the entire screen.
•Use your screen in a full screen format (16:9).
•If you use the screen as a PC monitor, always activate the screen saver.
•Always switch off the TV set when not in use.
•Reduce contrast and brightness as much as possible.
The “DRM” function (Digital Refresh Mode), which can be called in this set, may be able to eliminate or reduce minor visible effects.
Any effects resulting from an excessively long display of a freeze frame cannot be reversed using the “DRM” function.
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).
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 find out more about recycling (also for countries outside the EU) from your local government.

•Like all electronic equipment, your TV
needs air for cooling. Obstruction of the air circulation can cause fires. Therefore the air vents on the back 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 sufficient 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 fire. 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, firm 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 fire 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 find out more on the digital stations that can be received in your area at your specialist dealer.
If a Xelos A32/37/42 was retrofitted 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 illustrations on page 7/8.
If a Digital Satellite Tuner 1 has been retrofitted, connect your satellite antenna system to the ANT-SAT socket.
If a Digital Satellite Tuner 2 has been retrofitted (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 affixed beneath the TV set. Replace the connection cover on the TV set.
Handling the fabric hose
Use the fabric hose included with Xelos A 32/37/42 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 find the slot on the back of your TV set, see the illustrations on pages 6 – 8.
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 to insert the card. Also follow the installation instructions included with the smartcard.
3.Slide the CI module carefully into the slot with the contact side facing the front. The logo on the
common interface module should be visible. |
