Loewe Art 47 Sl Operating Instructions

							11 -
For your safety
Energy consumption
Your TV set is equipped with an eco-standby power supply. In the standby 
mode, the power consumption drops to low power (see Technical data on 
page 71). If you want to save even more energy then switch the device 
off with the mains switch. However note that in this case, EPG (Electronic 
Programme Guide) data will be lost, and it may be that programmed 
timer recordings cannot be executed via the TV device.
The power consumed by the TV set in operation depends on the choice 
of the energy efficiency presetting in the initial installation (page 14).
If you activate the automatic dimming (see page 24), your TV picture will 
adapt to the ambient brightness. This reduces the power consumption 
of the TV set.
Packaging and box
You have made a decision to purchase a high-quality technical product 
with a long service life. For disposal of the packaging, in accordance with 
national legislation we have paid a fee to a commissioned recycler to pick 
up the packaging from the dealer. Nevertheless we recommend keeping 
the original box and packaging material on hand so that the device can 
be transported with optimal protection if necessary.
The set
The EU directive 2002/96/EC regulates the proper way 
to recycle, handle and utilise used electronic devices. 
Old electronic devices consequently must be disposed of 
separately. Please do not dispose of this device in normal 
household trash! 
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. Further details about returning (also for non-EU 
countries) are available from your local authorities.
Batteries
The batteries supplied as initial equipment do not contain 
any pollutants such as cadmium, lead, or mercury.
Used batteries should no longer be disposed of in the 
domestic waste according to the Battery Ordinance. 
Dispose of your batteries at no charge in the collection 
containers that are set up for this purpose in retail stores.Repairs and accessories
Never remove the back of the TV set yourself. Only have your TV device 
repaired or serviced by authorized television technicians.
Only use original accessories such as Loewe stands if possible (see Ac-
cessories on page 72).
Supervision
Do not allow children to use the TV set without supervision or to play in 
the immediate vicinity of the TV set. The set could tip over, be pushed 
off or pulled down from the stand surface and injure someone.
Do not allow the switched-on TV set to run unattended.
Volume
Loud music can lead to ear damage. Avoid extreme volume especially 
over long periods and when using headphones.
Cleaning
Clean the TV set, the screen, and the remote control unit with a soft, 
moist, and clean cloth,only, without any aggressive or scouring cleaning 
agents.
Thunder storms
Pull out the mains plug and all connected antenna cables from the TV 
set in a thunderstorm. Overvoltage caused by lightning can damage the 
set via the antenna system, as well as via the mains power. The mains 
plug and all connected antenna cables should also be pulled out during 
long periods of absence.
Note on the LCD screen
The TV set you have purchased with LCD screen satisfies the most rigor-
ous quality requirements and has been inspected relative to pixel errors. 
In spite of the utmost care in manufacturing the display, for technical 
reasons the possibility that some pixels will have defects cannot be 100% 
excluded. Please understand that these types of effects, as long as they 
are within the standard of specified limits, cannot be considered as a 
device defect in terms of the guarantee.
Avoid displaying still images for long periods of time. It is possible that 
a copy of the image may remain.

For TV sets with MHEG-5 software the stations are tied 
to “Logical Channel Numbers” – “LCN” and sorted from 
1-799. Digital stations without “LCN” are stored from 
800 onwards. Analogue stations are stored from 1001. 
You can state whether coded stations are to be searched 
for in the search/update. 
Select yes to save all found 
scrambled stations. However, these stations can only 
be received in connection with a CA module and the 
appropriate Smart Card.
 Handling of the CA module is 
described on page 42.
If a CA module with a SmartCard is already plugged in for 
the station search, all the stations which this module can 
descramble are also saved when no is preset.
If you are using an active antenna, then select yes (5V) 
for the antenna power supply.
The conventional settings will be derived from the selec-
tion of set location. Only change this if you know other 
symbol rates and modulation types or if you have to 
specify the network ID for your cable network. In the 
case of small cable networks fed directly from the satel-
lite, the rate of 6900 might have to be replaced by 6111. 
Information is available from your cable network provider.
If you want to run the station search independently of 
the channel grid, select frequency search for the search 
method.
State how (single satellite or type of satellite system) you 
receive which satellite(s). Ask your dealer if in doubt.
Specify here whether the high band of the selected satel-
lite is to be searched in addition to the low band.
Normally, you do not need to change the values for high 
and low band, unless the LNC (LNB) of your satellite 
system uses a different oscillator frequency (important 
for the frequency display).
After you have made these settings, you should receive 
the picture and sound of the selected satellites (only with 
Astra1 and HOTBIRD).
If you want to run the station search independently of 
the channel grid, select frequency search for the search 
method.
The symbol rates are specified by the satellite provider 
and do not normally need to be changed.
Select the signal source from a list, the station of which is to 
be at the top of your station list (starting with station slot 1).
Recordings with automatic time control (see page 57) are 
only possible for the respective first DVB signal source.
Initial installation
Explanations of the setting possibilities, including the upgradeable 
satellite reception:
Decide how energy efficiently you want to operate your 
TV set. The value for the contrast (and thus the brightness 
of the background lighting) is adapted and the automatic 
dimmer activated or deactivated (see page 24) depending 
on the presetting.
Eco standard:
The emphasis for home use is on low energy consump-
tion. The automatic dimmer is activated.
Premium mode:
This mode optimises the settings to a brighter environ-
ment at a higher energy consumption. The automatic 
dimmer is activated.
Shop mode:
The picture settings are aligned to operation in the presen-
tation room. The automatic dimmer is deactivated. If the 
ambient brightness diminishes, the energy consumption 
is not reduced.
The presetting can be changed later in the TV menu under 
Picture  Picture adjustment  Presettings (see page 24) 
or under Settings Energy efficiency.
Select the country for country-specific pre-settings.
If UK or IRL is selected for the location of TV set, it is 
possible to activate MHEG-5 (UK Freeview) for the TV set.
A dialogue appears, where you can confirm to set the 
operating software to the selected location. 
If Ye s is selected and confirmed with OK, the TV set turns 
off and on again automatically. First installation starts 
again after activating the operation software.
If MHEG-5 was activated, DVB-C and DVB-S can not be 
used anymore. Only terrestrial/cable and DVB-T stations 
are available.
Antenna/cable (analogue): analogue stations via
 cable/antenna
DVB-T:  digital terrestrial stations
DVB-C:  digital stations via cable
DVB-S (cable 1): digital stations via satellite
DVB-S (cable 2): digital stations via satellite
You can preset the desired languages and reserve lan-
guages for subtitles and audio for DVB programmes 
here (see page 44).
In various countries, digital stations (DVB-T, DVB-C) are 
transmitted with a preset channel number per station, 
known as “Logical Channel Numbers“ – “LCN“. In this 
case the preset channel numbers are adopted as station 
memory locations and the stations of the preferred signal 
source sorted according to LCN. There may be gaps in 
the numbering of the station list depending on the LCN.

Positioning/aligning the DVB-T antenna
If you receive one or more DVB-T stations with picture or sound interfer-
ence, you should change the position and alignment of the antenna. Ask 
your dealer to tell you which channels are used to broadcast the DVB-T 
stations in your region.
➠  In normal TV mode, without other displays.
 A DVB-T station is received and selected. 
Call TV menu.
  Select Settings,
 go to the menu line below.
  Select Stations,
 go to the menu line below.
  Select Manual adjustment,
 OK  call manual adjustment.
The signal source is already on DVB-T due to the station 
preselection. 
Position and align the antenna in such a manner that 
maximum values for C/N and Level are obtained.
Blue button: Start search.
Search for DVB-T stations one after another and compare 
values for C/N and Level.
Then position/align the antenna to the weakest station 
so that maximum values for C/N and Level are obtained.
Thereafter perform an automatic search for all DVB-T 
stations, see page 28.
Explanation of the setting possibilities:
Depending on the selected channel and country the as-
sociated bandwidth will be set automatically. Start the automatic station search with OK. 
The set now searches for TV and DVB radio stations.
The stations found in the automatic search are divided into 
the appropriate station blocks depending on the previously 
selected antenna cables (signal sources). Subsequently the 
stations can only be re-sorted within these blocks. At the 
beginning of the station list you will find the block with 
the stations of the preferred signal source.
Any mixed sorting of stations from different signal sources 
is only possible with the favourites list. 
You can specify an age limit for your TV set here. DVB 
broadcasts which have an appropriate age identification 
are locked and can only be watched after entering the 
access code (see page 43).
Then the connection and sound component wizard 
starts which helps you to log in, set and connect video 
recorders, decoders, a loudspeaker system or a HiFi/AV 
amplifier to your TV set. A DVD recorder is already logged 
in ex factory.
You can start the connection wizard and the sound 
components wizard manually later and add new devices. 
Further information is available from page 
46 (Connec-
tion wizard) and page 54 (Sound components wizard).
If you have registered and connected a recorder in the 
connection wizard, the Digital Link Plus transmission 
begins at the end of the sound components wizard. If 
a Digital Link Plus capable recorder is connected, the 
station list of the analogue stations is transmitted to the 
external recorder.
You can also call Digital Link Plus under TV menu  Con-
nections  Digital Link Plus.
Explanations of the DVB-T antenna:
With good reception conditions a room antenna can be 
used for DVB-T (socket ANT2).
Under less favourable reception conditions, it is advisable 
to use an active antenna which has to be set accordingly 
in the initial installation or in the TV menu  Connections 
 Antenna DVB  Antenna DVB-T (see DVB-T antenna 
on page 14).
If the location is outside of the normal transmission 
range then a directional antenna can be used to improve 
reception quality.
