Welcome
Thank you!
Loewe sets high standards in technology, design and user friendliness. This 
applies equally for TV, video and accessories.
Your new TV set is equipped for the TV standard "HDTV" 
(High Definition Television). With its high definition 
screen, the 100 Hz image refresh frequency and the 
future-oriented digital interfaces HDMI (High Definition 
Multimedia Interface) it offers possibilities for watching 
HDTV broadcasts in an excellent picture quality. 
HDTV is a worldwide, digital standard in the 16:9 format 
which revolutionises normal TV viewing. It is broadcast 
with an up to five times greater resolution than conven-
tional signals and therefore creates an unexpectedly 3D 
image.
The TV set is equipped for digital reception. You can use the everywhere 
TV (DVB-T) already broadcast many times as well as digital cable (DVB-C) 
and also digital satellite reception (DVB-S) with a upgrade. 
If MHEG-5 is selected for location of TV set UK or IRL, there are some 
restrictions for reception:
DVB-C and DVB-S reception is not possible with MHEG-5, see also on 
page 14. Common Interface Plus technology will not work any more 
after activating MHEG-5.
The TV set can be upgraded with an AC3 module. You can then connect 
a speaker system (e.g. Loewe Individual Sound) and enjoy the movie 
sound. Dolby Digital, dts and MPEG are decoded.
You can connect a card reader or a USB stick with digital photos to the 
USB port of your TV set and look at your photos using the integrated 
PhotoViewer software.
All functions can be controlled with the Loewe remote control.
We have designed the TV set in such a manner that you can easily operate 
it with the help of wizards and menus. Information about the menu set-
tings is displayed automatically. You will quickly comprehend the context.

About this operating manual
For many questions concerning the technology you will find an answer 
in the index of your TV set. If your question concerns TV set operation, 
you can access a function directly from the index of the Tv set. Owing to 
this possibility, this operating manual only explains the most important 
operating steps.
The index/glossary from page 75 onwards gives explanations of certain 
terms used in the TV set and the operating manual.
Sections beginning with the symbol ➠ indicate important instructions, 
hints or conditions for the following settings.
Terms which you will find in the menu or printed on the remote control 
or the TV set are printed in bold letters.
In the description, the necessary operating elements are located to the left 
of the text with the handling instructions.
Depending on the connected accessory equipment the menus in the TV 
set can differ from those described here.
All the station names, programme contents and the illustrated photos in 
this operating manual are examples.
TV set equipment
See the rating plate on the rear of the set for the precise product desig-
nation. The precise features are listed in the Integrated features item in 
the index of the TV set (see page 17).

For your own safety and to prevent unnecessary damage to your device, 
read and comply with the following safety instructions:
Proper use and environmental conditions
This TV set is intended exclusively for the reception and reproduction of 
video and audio signals and designed for the home and office. It may 
not be used in rooms with high humidity (e.g. bathrooms, saunas) or 
high dust concentration (e.g. workshops). The manufacturer‘s warranty is 
only valid for use in the specified permissible environment.
If the set is used outdoors then ensure that it is protected against mois-
ture (rain, splashing water, or dew). High humidity and dust concentration 
cause creep currents in the set. This can cause electric shocks or fires.
If you have brought the set into a 
warm environment from the cold, then 
wait for about 1 hour before switching 
it on to avoid formation of condensa-
tion.
Do not place any objects filled with 
liquid or burning candles on the de-
vice. Protect the set against dripping 
and splashing water.
Never place the TV set in a position 
where it is exposed to vibrations. This 
can lead to material overload.
Transporting
Only transport the device in vertical position. Grasp the device on the 
upper and lower edges of the housing.
The LCD screen is made of glass or plastic and can break if not handled 
properly.
If the LCD screen is damaged and liquid crystal is leaking, wear rubber 
gloves for handling the TV set. If there is skin contact immediately wash 
thoroughly with water.Power supply
The wrong voltage can damage the set. This equipment must only be 
connected to a mains power supply which has the same voltage and 
frequency as that specified on the rating plate; use the power cable 
provided. The mains plug of the TV set must be easily accessible so that 
the device can be disconnected from the mains at any time. When you 
unplug the mains plug, do not pull on the cable rather pull on the plug 
housing. The cable in the mains plug could be damaged and cause a 
short circuit the next time it is plugged in.
Lay out the power cable in such a manner that it cannot be damaged. 
The power cable may not be kinked or laid over sharp edges, stepped 
on or exposed to chemicals; The latter also applies for the entire equip-
ment. A power cable with damaged insulation can cause electrical shock 
and is a fire hazard.
Air circulation and high temperatures
The vent slots on the rear panel of the set must always be kept free. 
Please do not place newspapers or cloths on/over the TV.
At least 10 cm clearance must be 
left at the sides and top for air 
circulation if the TV set is placed or 
hung in a cabinet or a shelf.
Like any electronic device, your TV 
set requires air for cooling. Ob-
struction of the air circulation can 
cause fires.
The set is suitable for different instal-
lation solutions. See the instructions 
for assembly for the different instal-
lation solutions.
Stand the TV set with the table or floor stand only on a level, sturdy, 
horizontal base. Particularly ensure that the set does not protrude to the 
front when placed in or on pieces of furniture.
Set up the device where it is not exposed to direct sunlight and where it 
is not exposed to additional warming through heating elements.
Prevent metal items, needles, paper clips, liquids, wax, or similar items, 
from getting into the interior of the device through the vent slots in the 
rear panel. Such objects can cause short circuits in the set, which could 
possibly cause a fire.
If something should get into the interior of the set then immediately 
unplug the mains plug of the device and contact customer service for 
more information.
For your safety
