Welcome
Thank you
for choosing a Loewe product.
We are happy to have you as a customer.
At Loewe we combine the highest standards of technology, design and user 
friendliness. This applies equally for TV, video and accessories.
Neither technology nor design is an end in itself, but both are intended to pro-
vide our customers with the best possible audio and visual experience.
We have designed the TV set in such a way that it is easy to operate with 
menus. Information about settings in menus is shown automatically for fast 
comprehension of the situation.
You will fi nd the answers to many of your technical queries in the index of your 
TV. If it is a matter of operating the TV, you can access a function directly from 
the index. This saves you from having to read through detailed operating in-
structions and is the reason, why this operating manual only explains the most 
important operating steps.
Features
You can fi nd out the features of your TV set by calling Index - Integrated fea-
tures (call up by pressing the INFO key in TV mode, while no menu is displayed).
With the remote control RC4, you can operate three Loewe units, this TV, a 
Loewe video recorder and a Loewe DVD player.
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.
Note on LCD screen
The screen you have purchased meets the highest quality requirements in this 
segment and has been tested for pixel errors. Despite the utmost caution in pro-
duction of the sets, 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 as a unit defect in 
the sense of the warranty as long as they are within the limits specifi ed by the 
standard.
Installation options

Cleaning

control (don’t 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 
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 fi nd out more about recycling (also for countries out-
side the EU) from your local government. •

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 offi ce 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 fi lled 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 fi re. 
  The manufacturer‘s warranty is only valid for use in the specifi ed 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 specifi ed 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 fi res. 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 cabi-
net or on a shelf, leave at 
least 10 cm at the sides and 
10 cm at the top to ensure 
suffi cient 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 fi re. 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, fi rm base. The set should not protrude at the 
front when installing in cabinets or shelves. 
For your safety
  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 fi re 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.

Remote control
Batteries
To insert or change the batteries press on the arrow. Slide the battery compart-
ment cover downwards and remove it. Insert Alkali Mangan LR 03 (AAA) batter-
ies and ensure that the + and – ends are connected correctly.
Slide the cover upwards to shut.
Information for the disposal of batteries
The batteries provided contain no harmful materials such as 
cadmium, lead or mercury.
Regulations concerning used batteries stipulate that batteries 
may no longer be thrown out with the household rubbish.
Deposit any used batteries free of charge into the designated 
collection containers set up at commercial businesses.

Press the TV button.TV
How to operate other Loewe equipment is described on page 23.
Connection
Power mains
Plug the small plug of the power cable into the mains socket on the
back of the TV, the large plug into a a 220-240V/50–60 Hertz power
outlet.
Initial installation
Antenna
Connect the cable system on the back of the set to the ANT VHF/UHF socket.
If separate antenne exist for the radio and TV reception, the two antenne must 
be connected by an antenna switch. Appropriate antenna switches are available 
from your dealer.
In DVB-T models, connect the DVB-T antenna to the DVB-T socket and connect 
a FM (VHF) antenna to the ANT VHF/UHF socket if necessary (please remove 
any plugged antenna bridge, see page 6).
Lay the cables in the cable holder in the rear middle of the TV set.
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 pow-
er is supplied for an active antenna via the antenna connection. For automatic 
programming or in “TV Menu – Connections – 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 fi nd out more on the digital stations that can be received in your area 
at your specialist dealer.
