Transporting
Only transport the unit in an upright position. Hold the set by the top and bot-
tom edges of the housing. The LCD screen is made of glass and/or plastic and 
may break if not handled carefully. Should the LCD screen become damaged 
or should the liquid crystal begin to leak, then it is imperative you wear rubber 
gloves when removing the set. Should the liquid come in contact with your skin, 
thoroughly rinse with water immediately.

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 GB). 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 in-
dex. 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 3 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+.

Welcome
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.
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). 
Note: The front screen (Individual Selection) may only be removed by a specialist 
dealer even in case of dirt on the inside.
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 
separately. Please do not dispose of this set in the normal 
household rubbish.
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. You can find out more about recycling (also for countries out-
side the EU) from your local government.
Remove the protective foil
(only Individual 40)
Pull the two protective foils slowly and carefully off the front of the unit (see fig.).

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 con-
tainers filled with liquids or lit 
candles on top of the TV.
  High levels of moisture and 
concentrations 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, 
leave at least 10 cm at 
the sides and 10 cm at 
the top to ensure suf-
ficient 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 
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 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 volt-
ages 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 
cable may not be kinked or laid over sharp edges, not stood on and not ex-
posed 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.
•  Loud music can lead to ear damage. Avoid extreme volume especially over 
long periods and when using headphones.
The rating plate is located on the rear panel next to the connections.

Connection
Power mains
Remove the cover for the connections.
Connect the TV set to a 220-240V/50- 60 hertz power outlet. Plug the small 
plug of the mains cable into the mains socket on the rear of the TV set; plug the 
large mains plug into a mains socket.
Antennas
Plug the antenna plug of your antenna/cable system or the room antenna for 
DVB-T into the ANT-TV socket (Tuner 1).
If the reception conditions are good, then a room antenna may be used for  
DVB-T. Passive and active room antennas are available on the market. The 
power is supplied for an active antenna via the antenna connection. For auto-
matic programming or in “TV Menu – Connections – Antenna DVB – Antenna 
DVB-T,“ the distribution voltage (5 volts) is to be set correspondingly.
It may be practical to use a nondirectional antenna. If the location is outside the 
normal transmitting range, then a unidirectional antenna may also be used to 
improve the reception quality.
You can find out more on the digital stations that can be received in your area 
at your specialist dealer.
