7 - 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. The Loewe Digital + HD 100 platform in sets with Digital Recorder even enables dual reception of uncoded stations of DVB-T, DVB-C and DVB-S. If MHEG-5 is selected for location of TV set UK or IRL, DVB-C and DVB-S reception is not possible, see also on page 13. 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 and/or MP3 music files to the USB connection of your TV set and view your pho- tos or play music via the integrated PhotoViewer/MusicBox 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 settings is displayed automatically. You will quickly comprehend the context.

This operating instructions 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 72 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, the illustrated photos, titles, albums and album covers 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 16). Trademarks Made under licence by Dolby Laboratories.

- 8 Welcome Operating convenience with wizards This TV set offers user prompting with wizards that take you through the settings step-by-step. You can return to the previous step or exit the wizard at any time. The wizards in overview Initial installation The initial installation wizard helps you with the initial installation and connection of any existing equipment (see page 12). Setting up the antenna You enter in the antenna wizard which antenna signals are available to you. The antenna wizard is called in initial installation (see page 12). You can also open the antenna wizard in the TV menu under Connections Antenna DVB Antenna DVB-S (1 or Antenna DVB-T. Search wizard If, after the initial installation, you want to search for new stations, or if you have set up your antenna for the first time, then you can handle this task with the help of the search wizard (see page 26). You will find the search wizard in the TV menu under Settings Stations Search wizard. Connecting external devices The connection wizard ensures that all devices are correctly registered and connected. It is started automatically at the end of the initial instal- lation wizard but can also be called separately (see page 44). You will find the connection wizard in the TV menu under Connections New devices/modifications. Connecting sound components The sound component wizard ensures that the components which repro- duce the TV sound are correctly registered, connected and set. It is started automatically at the end of the initial installation wizard but can also be called separately (see page 51). You will find the sound components wizard in the TV menu under Connections Sound components.Assist+ You can select the most important operating modes directly with the Assist+ menu (ASSIST button). Selectable modes are: TV, Radio digital, Teletext, PhotoViewer, MusicBox, CA module, Index and when equipped with Digital Recorder or Network Mediaplayer also Digital Recorder archive or MediaNetwork (see page 16).

9 - 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 con- densation. 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. When rotating the TV set there is a danger of crushing between the TV housing and the table stand. Makes sure that your fingers or other objects are not in this area when rotating the TV set. 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.

- 10 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 68). 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 13). If you activate the automatic dimming (see page 22) your TV picture adapts 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 do- mestic 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 69). 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 Use only a soft, clean, damp cloth to clean the TV, screen and remote control, do not use any caustic or abrasive cleaning agents. Connect TV sets with a high gloss surface may only be cleaned with a soft, clean antistatic cloth. 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. Environmental protection
