    Note on the LCD screen
    The TV set with an 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 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 by the standard. •

    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.
    Integrated features
    The maximum equipment is described in these operating instructions. 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 +.

    Call up the Index using the INFO button on the remote control, select “DRM 
    (Digital Refresh Mode)“ and start the Refresh mode by pressing the OK button. Al-
    ternating full-screen colour images will be displayed now instead of the TV picture. 
    Run the Refresh mode for about as long as a freeze picture was displayed earlier. 
    End the Refresh mode by pressing any button on the remote control.
    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 separa-
    tely. Please do not dispose of this set in the normal household 
    rubbish. 
    You may return your used set free of charge at designated recyc-
    ling 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.
    Welcome
    Note on the plasma screen (Xelos A 42 and Modus L 42)
    IMPORTANT!
    PLASMA SCREEN TECHNOLOGY IS NOT SUITABLE FOR THE DISPLAY OF FIXED IMAGES FOR EXTENDED PERIODS OF TIME. 
    A fixed image displayed for an extended period can cause permanent “image retention” to appear on your Plasma screen.
    Examples of fixed images include logos, video games, computer images, teletext, interactive applications and images displayed in 4:3 mode etc. If using such applications 
    it is advised to reduce the “Contrast” setting to minimise the risk of image retention. It is recommended that these images are not displayed for long periods.
    Note: Permanent “image retention” on a Plasma TV resulting from fixed image use is not an operating defect and as such is not covered by the warranty.
    You will be reminded of this warning through an on screen message after switch 
    on. It will not appear if it is deactivated in the menu. To do this press “Menu“ 
    followed by selection of “Settings“ – “Miscellaneous“ –“On screen displays“ 
    – “Automatic Info.“ then finally select “No“, alternatively it will automatically stop 
    appearing after the menu has been entered twenty times.
    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 not light up 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 by the standard.
    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 picture (>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 pictures 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.
    Switch the TV set off when it is not being used.
    Reduce the 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. •

    For your safety
    For your safety and to avoid unnecessary damage to your TV set, please 
    read and observe the following safety instructions:
    •  This TV set is designed exclusively for reception and reproduction of video and 
    audio signals. 
    •  This equipment is designed for domestic and office 
    environments and must not be used in rooms 
    with high humidity (e.g. bathroom, sauna) or high 
    concentrations of dust (e.g. 
    workshops). If the equipment is 
    used in the open air, ensure that 
    it is protected against moisture 
    (rain, drips, splashes, sprayed 
    water or dew). Do not place any 
    containers filled with liquids or lit 
    candles on top of the TV.
      High levels of moisture and con-
    centrations of dust cause leakage 
    currents in the equipment, which 
    can lead to danger of electric shock or fire. 
      The manufacturer‘s warranty is only valid for use in the specified permissible 
    environment.
    •  If you have moved the TV set out of the cold into a warm environment, leave it 
    standing for about an hour since condensation may form.
    •  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. Incorrect voltages can damage the equipment.
    •  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, lea-
    ve 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 get-
    ting 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 ca-
    ble 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.
