Welcome
Thank you
for choosing a Loewe product.
We are happy to have you as a customer.
At Loewe we combine the highest standards of technology, design and user friendliness. This applies equally for TV, video and accessories.
Neither technology nor design is an end in itself, but both are intended to provide our customers with the best possible audio and visual experience. We have designed the TV set in such a way that it is easy to operate with menus. Information about settings in menus is shown automatically for fast comprehension of the situation.
You will find the answers to many of your technical queries in the index of your TV. 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.
With the remote control you can control three Loewe units, in addition to this TV set also a Loewe video recorder and a Loewe DVD player.
TV equipment
The maximum equipment (without optional retrofit kits) is described in these operating instructions. Functions marked by * are not available in all TV sets.
For sets with terrestrial and satellite supported Digital-TV additional operating instructions are enclosed with the appropriate equipment.
Menu contents may differ from the ones shown depending on your TV equipment.
You can view your TV equipment in the “Integrated features” index (press the INFO button in TV mode, if no menu is displayed; is displayed separately in the index before A.

Please note!
The 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 sets, 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.

Welcome
TV is placed in a cabinet or on a shelf, leave at least 10 cm at the sides and back 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.
•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 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 authorized 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 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 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.
The rating plate of the TV is on the rear of the set.
