Welcome

Thank you,

for choosing a Loewe product.
We are very happy to have you as a cus­tomer.

Loewe combines high quality in technology,
design and user friendliness. This applies
equally for TV, video and accessories.
Neither the technology nor the design are an
end in themselves but serve to give our cus­tomers pure watching and listening enjoy­ment.
We have not allowed ourselves to be led
astray by short-lived fashion trends in the
design. You have, after all, purchased a high­quality piece of equipment which you don’t
want to get tired of looking at tomorrow or
the day after.

About the set
We have designed the TV set in such a
way that it is easy to operate with
menus. If you need information about
how to operate it, just display the info
texts with the i button, you will soon
get a grasp of the relationships.

You will find the answers to many tech­nical questions in the index of your TV
set. If it’s 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 you are reading only explains
the most important operating steps.

With the remote control, you can operate
three Loewe units, this TV, a Loewe video
recorder and a Loewe DVD player.

TV equipment

This operating manual describes the maximum
equipment.
Functions marked by

✳

are not available in
all TV sets.
The illustrated menu contents may vary de­pending on the TV equipment.
You can find out what equipment your TV
has in the main information – ”Technical
spec. of TV set”.

Setup

Handholds are provided on the front right and
left sides of the Vitros und Mimo TV sets. Use
these handholds to carry the TV set. Do not
carry the Vitros set by the base, as the decora­tive grid could be damaged.

Please note that the feet of the TV set could
leave marks on soft wood furniture (e.g. deal,
pine, fir etc.) due to the weight and moving the
set about.
The plastic material of the feet contains
softeners which could in some cases etch the
surfaces of furniture.
In such cases you should place a firm under­lay about the same size as the base of the TV
set underneath it.

Please also read and observe the safety in­structions on the following pages.

Make sure no bright light or sunlight falls on
the screen and impairs the picture by reflec­tions.

Cleaning

Clean the TV set only with a damp, soft, clean
cloth (never use aggressive or abrasive cleaning
agents).

Disposal

Packaging and boxes

You have chosen a very high-quality, long-
lasting piece of technical equipment. In compli-
ance with national regulations, we have paid a
fee to authorized disposal companies who will
collect the packing from the dealers. Neverthe-
less we recommend that you keep the original
box and packing material so that the TV set has
optimum protection if you have to transport it.

The set

Please consult your dealer for environmentally
friendly disposal of the TV set.

For your own safety

For your own safety and in order to avoid
unnecessarily damaging your TV set, please
read and observe the following safety
instructions:

• This TV set is designed exclusively for
receiving and reproducing audio and visual
(AV) signals.

• It is designed for the home or office and
may not be used in rooms with high
humidity (e.g. bathroom, sauna) or a high
concentration of dust (e.g. workshops).
If the unit is used in the open air ensure
that it is protected against moisture (rain,
dripping or splashing water, or dew). Do not
place containers filled with water, such as
vases, on the TV set. High moisture and dust
concentrations produce creep currents in
the set which can lead to danger of electric
shock or fire.
The manufacturer’s warranty is only valid
for use of the TV set in the specified
permissible environment.

• This set may only be connected to a power
supply with the voltage and frequency
specified on the rating plate using the
enclosed power cable. The wrong voltages
can damage the set.

• If the set is moved from a cold environment
to a warm room, condensation forms on all
parts of the set. Moisture produces creep
currents in the set which can cause a fire. In
this case, you should leave the set for a
reasonable time to acclimatize (when the
condensation on the screen has evaporated)
before switching it on.

• Like every piece of electronic equipment,
your TV needs air for cooling. Obstructing
the air supply to the set can cause fires. The
air vents on the back of the TV set must
always be kept free. Do not leave
newspapers or cloths lying on the TV set.
The air supply is also impaired when the TV
set is placed on a blanket or a thick pile
carpet.
If the TV set is placed in a cabinet or on a

shelf, at least 5 cm clearance at the sides
and at least 10 cm at the top must be left to
allow air to circulate.
Stand the TV set in a place where it is not
exposed to direct sunlight or additional
heating from radiators.

• Magnetic fields influence the picture quality
of the TV set. Do not place loudspeakers or
other magnetic sources immediately next to
the TV set.

• Avoid dropping metal objects, needles,
paper clips, liquids, wax or similar into the
air vents at the back of the set. This causes
short circuiting of the set and could start a
fire. If anything should get inside the set,
switch it off immediately, pull out the plug
and call the after-sales service to check it.

Do not place vases filled with water, lighted
candles etc. on the top of the TV set.

For your own safety

• You should never attempt to remove the
rear panel of the TV yourself. The set op­erates with high voltages which could be
fatal. Leave repairs and servicing of your TV
set to authorized TV technicians.

• Due to the picture tube, TV sets have their
centre of gravity fairly near to the front. The
TV set therefore has a tendency to tip for­ward relatively easily which could cause
injury to persons.
Only stand the TV set on a level, firm base.
The set must stand on all feet. The TV
should not overhang particularly when it is
placed in a cabinet or on a shelf.
If the TV is placed on a stand, make sure
this is larger than the surface area of the
base of the TV.

When using turntables and drawer shelves,
make sure they have a sufficient load ca­pacity.

We recommend you to use only original
parts, e.g. Loewe racks and stands.

If the TV set is placed on a console with
castors, move the console carefully because
the console and the TV could tip over.
Consoles with castors may considerably
reduce the stability of the sets placed on
them, so only use consoles specially
designed and approved for the TV.
Never allow children to handle the TV set
unsupervised.

Do not allow children to play close to the
TV set, they could knock, push or pull it
from the stand and injure someone.

• Do not place the TV anywhere where it may
be exposed to vibrations. Vibrations can
lead to overloading of materials.

• Do not leave the TV on unsupervised.

• Pull out the antenna and mains plugs
during a thunderstorm. Surge voltages from
lighting strikes can damage the set both
through the antenna system and the mains.
You should also pull out the antenna and
mains plugs during long periods of ab­sence.

• The mains plug of the TV must be easily
accessible so that it can be disconnected
from the mains quickly at any time.

• Lay the power cable so that it cannot be
damaged. The power cable may not be
kinked or laid over sharp edges, and may
not be walked over or exposed to chemi­cals; the latter applies for the entire TV
set. A power cable with defective insu-

lation can lead to electric shocks and
is a fire risk.

• When you pull out the mains plug, do not
tug the cable but hold the housing of the
plug. The cables in the mains plug could
be damaged and cause a short circuit the
next time it is plugged in.

Initial installation

Batteries – remote control

To insert or change the batteries, press the
point marked by an embossed arrow. Push
the cover of the battery compartment down
and remove it. Insert the batteries of the alka­line manganese type LR 03 (AAA) with the
correct polarity (+/–).

Then push the cover back on.

Note on disposal of batteries:

The original batteries do not
contain any pollutants such as
cadmium, lead and mercury.
Used batteries do not belong in
the domestic waste. They must
be taken to the appropriate
collection points according to the
national laws. Ask your dealer.

Connection

Mains

Connect the TV set to a 230V/50–60 Hertz
outlet.

Antennae

Remove the rear cover from the Mimo set by
pulling backwards. Clamp the cable in the cable
holder and lead it downwards through the
opening.
Connect your antenna or cable system to the
VHF/UHF antenna socket.
If your TV is equipped with a picture-in-picture
tuner (PIP), plug the antenna plug protruding
from above the PIP antenna socket into the
antenna socket for the VHF/UHF tuner. Plug the
antenna plug of your antenna or cable system
into the socket of the PIP tuner.
If your TV set is equipped with one or two
satellite tuners, connect the SAT antennae to
the SAT sockets (see figure on page 5).
Refit the cover to the Mimo set.

Initial installation

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, stores and sorts
all the stations which your antenna system
receives. 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.

Select the settings with the
arrows on the ring ...

... confirm the settings with
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. Launch the index in
the main information (i button). Then select the
item ”Repeat initial installation”. Then start
”Initial installation” with OK.

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 EPG,
Teletext, PIP, Video or Radio is selected.
Every one of these modes of operation has a
menu which you can call with the M-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: list or call personal teletext

pages

green: call picture format setting

yellow: call last viewed station

blue: call station info

You can assign other functions to the buttons in
the TV menu ”Settings” – ”Function keys”.

Status display

Show/hide status

Main information

Call main information

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” 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.

Call the TV menu

Launch the TV menu

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 T button from the
display during the program or from this menu.

Standard values

You can save the setting for picture and sound
you have made in this menu and launch them
again later.

Connections

You will find information about this in the chap­ter ”Logging in and connecting AV equipment”
on page 18.

Modes of operation

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.

Language

If ”your” menu language is not set, you have to
select the ”Language” menu in a language you
cannot understand:
Press the M-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

If, for example, you cannot receive any EPG
providers and no DVB is installed in the TV set,
you should switch off the data acquisition.

Implementing data acquisition

The data must be collected first after these
settings or every time the TV is switched off. To

do this, select the programme which you
have defined as a provider and leave it
switched on for about one hour. Or switch

the set into standby mode. The green (blue) LED
lights up in addition to the red LED after about
two minutes. Data acquisition takes about one
hour, in sets with a DVB module a little longer.
The data is automatically collected between 2
and 5 in the morning when the TV is switched
off to standby.

Defining personal topics

You will find the programs that interest you
faster when you define your personal topics.
Mark ”Select personal topics” in the EPG menu
and compile your list of personal topics.

Radio mode

You can switch the radio mode on and off with
the

L

button. If at least one satellite tuner
and possibly a DVB module are installed in your
TV set, you will be able to receive radio stations.
If none of these additional modules is installed,
you can only select the audio inputs and play
back through these with the channel table or
the g h buttons. You can find further informa-
tion in the Operating Instructions for satellites
and DVB.

Modes of operation

Select programmes for EPG

Select the channels here for which information is
to be collected.

Channels marked by + are favourite channels. The

(blue letters).

Record

Perform selected function.

When you start a recording, the channel you
have just selected is recorded. You cannot switch
over to another channel, it is locked. You can
only switch over when the recording has fin­ished.
Exceptions:

1. You have installed several tuners (not PIP
tuners) in the TV set, then you can watch
another channel with the second tuner.

2. You can also watch the signal via an AV
connection (e.g. DVD player or a second
VCR).

3. In a VCR with Digital Link Plus the VCR tuner
is used for the recording (not for satellite
programs).

The Video menu provides you with options for
timer programming by EPG, teletext or manually.
You can also amend or delete timer information.

In the ”Connections” menu you can log other AV
equipment on or off and make a ”Digital Link
Plus data transfer”. This serves to transfer the
transmitter data of the TV set (not satellite chan­nels) to the Digital Link Plus VCR.

Digital Link Plus VCRs have the possibility for
transferring the programme data from the TV set
to the VCR via the Euro-AV cable (not satellite
programs). Every time you change the channel
memory of the TV, you are asked whether you
want to make a data transfer.
The receiver unit of the VCR is always used for
recording with a Digital Link Plus video recorder
(not satellite channels) and the tuner of the TV
set is available for watching TV.

Loewe VCRs also have Digital Link, a system for
controlling Loewe VCRs via the Euro-AV cable. If
the Loewe VCR only has Digital Link, the TV tuner
is used for recording. If you have installed your
Loewe VCR in a concealed place, you can operate
the Loewe VCR with the remote control. Operati­on with the control bar also works with Digital
Link.

Digital Link must be switched on on the
video recorder.

Only use fully wired Euro-AV cables, otherwise
Digital Link or Digital Link Plus will not work.

M

Video mode

You can operate Loewe video recorders and DVD
players with the video control bars even if they
are hidden. The VCR’s must be connected to the
Euro AV sockets (Scart) and logged in under the
”Connections” menu.
Digital Link must be switched on on the Loewe
video recorder. Only then can you use the con­trol bar. You also need Digital Link for timer
recordings of satellite programs controlled by
the TV set.
You can display up to two control bars but they
are only displayed by logged in VCR’s and DVD
players.

Video playback

In order to see the VCR picture on your TV and
hear its sound you have several possibilities:

1. You can use the Euro-AV sockets on the TV
set and on the VCR. This is the best option of
all – good picture and sound quality.
If you are playing back from a VCR with
Digital Link Plus, the VCR picture is shown on
the current channel slot.
If you are playing back from a standard VCR,
DVD player or camcorder, select the AV
socket to which the video signal is connected
in the AV selection list or the channel table.
Video recorders emit a switching voltage
during playback which the TV set can decode
(can be activated for every VCR in the con­nection wizard). Then the VCR picture is
shown on the current channel slot as in Dig­ital Link Plus VCR’s.

2. You use the antenna connection between the
VCR and the TV set. The sound is only broad­cast in mono. To do this, select the first menu
item, e.g. VCR, in the AV selection list.
