Environment
  Environmental protection
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 136). If you want to save even more energy then switch the 
device off with the mains switch. Please also note that the EPG data 
(Electronic Programme Guide) is lost under certain circumstances and pos-
sibly programmed timer recordings cannot be carried out via the TV set.
The power consumed by the TV set during operation depends on the 
energy efficiency preset in the initial installation (see page 24) or the 
setting in the TV menu (see page 36).
If you activate the automatic dimming (see page 36), your TV picture 
will adapt to the ambient brightness. This reduces the power consump-
tion 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.
The setThe 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. Additional details about return (also for non EU 
countries) are available from your local municipal 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. Dispo  se 
of your batteries at no charge in the  collection containers 
which are set up for this purpose in retail stores.
  The code number cancels an access 
code and thus the   
 parental
lock. Please keep in a safe place.

24p movie display: Films released on Blu-ray Disc support presentation of 
24p cinema films. The Blu-ray player transfers the original film format to 
the television with 24 frames per second. The DMM (DigitalMovieMode) 
set in the factory calculates and inserts additional intermediate pictures, 
which suppress film jerking typical for the cinema, thereby providing for 
a smooth motion sequence.
A
Active antenna: An antenna with its own power supply or amplification 
which can improve the reception is areas with a poor coverage.
Administrator: Person who administers the network, i.e. takes care of 
setting up and maintaining all components belonging to the network.
Automatic time control: Similar to VPS for analogue stations the automatic 
time control monitors the start and end times of programmes from DVB 
stations. If these times deviate from the data programmed in the timer 
data the running time of the recording is adapted automatically. The 
automatic time control is not supported by all DVB stations.
AVI: Abbreviation for Audio Video Interleave, a video container file format 
developed by Microsoft. A single AVI video file can contain several audio, 
video and text data streams (thus the name container format).
AV socket: Socket for audio and video signals.
AV sources: Audio/video source.
AVS: Audio/video sockets on the side of the TV set (cinch and mini-DIN).
B
Band: Name for a transmission range.
Blu-ray Disc: The follow-up format of DVD. The contents of about five 
DVDs fit onto one Blu-ray Disc (abbreviated BD). Therefore, the Blu-ray 
disc provides enough space for high-resolution images and multi-channel 
sound formats.
BMP: Abbreviation for Bitmap, a grid graphics format designed for Micro-
soft Windows and OS/2 that is wide spread and therefore supported by 
almost every popular graphics software package without any problems.
C
CA module: The Conditional Access module contains the coding system 
and compares the transmitted code with the one on the Smart Card. If 
they match, the appropriate stations or programmes are decoded.
CEC: Abbreviation for Consumer Electronics Control. CEC provides uni-
versal component control functions for entertainment electronics devices 
(e.g. System standby, One Touch Play). CEC is also known as Digital Link 
HD at Loewe.Channel (WLAN): The channel is a certain part of the WLAN frequency 
band. Devices that want to communicate with each other have to use the 
same WLAN channel. In Europe the WLAN frequency band is currently 
divided into 13 channels.
Cinch cable:  Cable for transmitting audio or video.
CI slot: See Common Interface.
Client: Also referred to as network client; describes an end device such 
as your TV set that is connected to the network and gets data from a 
(media) server to make it accessible to the user.
Common Interface: The Common Interface (CI slot) is a standardised 
interface. By inserting suitable decoding modules (CA modules) and a 
Smart Card coded digital programmes can be used.
Common Interface Plus: CI Plus is an advanced development of the Com-
mon Interface standard. CI Plus slots are in principle downward compatible 
to the previous CI standard, i.e. CA modules and Smart Cards according 
to the past CI standard can continue to be used in CI Plus slots, as far as 
the programme provider permits this. Additionally, extended regulations 
apply however to CI Plus.
Component IN: Connection in which the video signal is transmitted via 
three separate cinch connections. It is made up of the brightness signal 
“Y“ and the colour difference signals “Pb“ and “Pr“. YPbPr is the original 
analogue version of the digital YCbCr in which video data saved on the 
DVD as well as transmitted via satellite, cable or antenna in DVB are 
colour coded.
Conditional Access module: See CA module.
D
Decoder: Analogue, coded TV signals are passed through a decoder and 
made visible again.
DHCP: Abbreviation for Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol. DHCP al-
lows automatic assignment of IP addresses with the aid of a DHCP server.
DHCP server: Network service which takes care of automatic assignment 
of IP addresses to clients.
Digital Link: System for controlling recorders (for video and DVD recorders 
from Loewe) via the Euro AV sockets of the Loewe TV set with concealed 
setup. Controlling the recorder for timer recordings.
Digital Link HD: System for controlling devices via the HDMI connection 
of the Loewe TV set in the case of concealed installation.
Digital Link Plus: System for controlling recorders according to protocol 
50. For analogue stations the station and timer data are transmitted via 
the EURO-AV socket to the recorder. The timer recording is executed 
exclusively by the recorder. There is a different designation with different 
manufacturers.
DivX: Video Codec which allows even large files to be relatively highly com-
pressed in their file size without having to tolerate important quality losses.
