About this user guide
For best results regarding safety and the longevity of the set, we
recommend you read the chapter For your safety before switching
it on for the first time.
Paragraphs which begin with the symbol
indicate important
instructions, tips or conditions for the following settings. Terms which
you will find in the menus or printed on the remote control or TV set
are written in bold type.
The necessary control elements are shown in the descriptions to the

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 quick guide are examples.
In addition to the remote control, a PC keyboard can be connected to
one of the USB ports on your TV and then used to control your TV set.
In the user guide, this symbol indicates places in which
the use of a keyboard is particularly advantageous.
The user guide and the user manual for your TV set are updated when
necessary. We recommend an occasional examination on the Support
Portal of the Loewe homepage (see chapter Miscellaneous, section
Documentation).
General information on the operation of the
TV set
For further information on the user interface and the general operation
of your TV set see chapter General information on the operation.
Interactive data services
In some countries the stations also broadcast interactive data services
with their programmes, leading to the functions of individual keys not
being available or only so to a limited extent. You can find out more
about this in chapter TV, section HbbTV / MediaText.

For your safety, and to avoid unnecessary damage to your unit,
please read and follow the safety instructions below:
Intended use and ambient conditions
This TV set is intended exclusively for receiving and playing visual and
audio signals. It must not be used in rooms with a high level of humidity
(e.g. bathroom, sauna) or a high dust concentration. The manufacturer‘s
warranty is only valid for use in the specified permissible environment.
If the unit is used outdoors, make sure that it is protected from moisture
(rain, dripping water and splashing water or dew). High humidity and
dust concentrations lead to leakage currents in the device. This can
result in a shock hazard when touching it or even fire.
If you have moved the unit out of
the cold into a warm environment,
leave it switched off for about an
hour to avoid the formation of con-
densation.
Do not place objects containing
liquids on top of the unit. Protect the
appliance against dripping and
splashing water.
Candles or naked flames must be
kept away from the TV set at all
times to prevent it from catching fire.
Never place the TV set in a location where it is exposed to vibrations. This
may lead to damage.
Transporting
Move the device in vertical position only. Get hold of the device on the
upper and lower edges of the housing.
Do not stand it up on the bottom edge, so as to reduce the risk of
damage and soiling. If the set has to be put down during packing/
unpacking, place the TV set with its entire front surface lying flat on
soft material. Use a blanket or the fleece from the packing material as
an underlay.
The LCD screen is made of glass or plastic and can break if not handled
properly.
Always wear rubber gloves to carry the TV set if the LCD screen is
damaged and liquid crystal might be leaking out. In the case of skin
contact immediately rinse thoroughly with water.
Power supply
Incorrect voltages can damage the unit. This device may only be
connected to a power supply with the voltage and frequency indicated
on the type plate using the supplied mains cable. 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 unplugging the unit from the mains,
pull at the connector body and not at the cable. The cables in the mains
plug could otherwise be damaged and could cause a short-circuit when
plugged in again.
Lay the mains cable so that it cannot be damaged. Do not step on the
mains cable. The mains cable may not be kinked or laid over sharp
edges nor be exposed to chemicals; the latter also applies to the unit
as a whole. A mains cable with damaged insulation can cause electric
shocks and poses a fire risk.
Air circulation and high temperatures
The vent slots on the rear panel of the set must always be kept
unobstructed. Please do not place newspapers or cloths on/over the
TV set.
Make sure that there is at
least 10 cm free space on the
sides and above the set for
air circulation, if the set is
placed in a cabinet or on a
shelf.
Like any electronic device,
your TV set requires air for
cooling. Obstruction of the air
circulation can cause fires.
Prevent metal items, nee-
dles, 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 the field service for
more information.
About the LCD screen
The TV set with LCD screen you have purchased satisfies the most
rigorous quality requirements and has been inspected with respect
to pixel errors. Despite of thorough care when manufacturing the
display, it cannot be 100% guaranteed that no subpixel defects will
occur due to technical reasons. Please understand that these types
of effects, as long as they are within the limits specified in the standard,
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 visible.
TV sets with 3D function
(1
Read the following safety instructions before using the 3D function
of your TV set.
Please use the Loewe 3D TV sets only with the Loewe 3D glasses which
can be purchased as an accessory from your Loewe dealer.
People with a visual disorder may not be able to perceive 3D effects
or may only be able to perceive them to a limited extent. People who
are sensitive to flickering images (e.g. those with epilepsy) should only
use the 3D function after having consulted their doctor.
It might take some time for you to get used to the 3D glasses and
before you can perceive the 3D effects properly.
Stop using the 3D function immediately if you experience any feelings
of nausea, dizziness or malaise when viewing 3D content.
Supervise children whilst they are viewing 3D content, as they can be
particularly sensitive to it.
Allow more time for a break after having watched 3D movies, so that
you are able to relax. Failure to do so could result in headaches, fatigue,
dizziness or malaise.
Position yourself comfortably in front of the 3D TV set and ensure that
you are seated firmly. By doing this, you will avoid any injuries that may
occur due to reacting to extreme 3D content.
Switch off any artificial light sources (e.g., energy saving lamp)
between the TV set and the 3D glasses. These could impair the infrared
reception or the TV picture may flicker as a result.

For your safety
Set-up
Loewe flatscreen TV sets are specified for Loewe accessories. The TV
set is suitable for mounting in many different ways. Note the assembly
instructions regarding the different possible mounting options.
When using accessories from other manufacturers take care that the
TV set can be easily inclined or rotated on the respective mounting
option.
For mounting options from other manufacturers with motor drive,
make sure that the TV set cannot be rotated manually. The use of
mounting options from other manufacturers with locks in certain
positions is generally discouraged.
When rotating the TV set it is essential to
ensure that the pressure exerted on the
device frame is not too large. Especially in
case of large-format displays there is a risk
to damage the screen.
Before setting up the device, please check that the final location is
suitable to bear the load of the device in terms of surface (sensitivity
to pressure) and stability (statics).
This is particularly the case for the high-gloss painted surfaces and
surfaces that are made from real wood / real wood veneer or plastic
surfaces.
Place 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.
Place the TV set in a normal position for use. TV set may only be used
in an upright horizontal position. It may not be tilted by more than 10
degrees. The TV set must never be operated in portrait position, lying
flat or hanging overhead from the ceiling.
Set up the device where it is not exposed to direct insolation and where
it is not exposed to additional heating by radiators
.
When using the VESA mounting points, please refer to the information
in chapter Miscellaneous, section VESA standard.
Supervision
Do not let children operate the TV set unsupervised and do not let
them loiter and play close to the 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.
Thunder storms
Pull out the mains plug and all connected antenna cables from the TV
set in a thunderstorm. Overvoltage caused by lightning strokes can
damage the set via the antenna system, as well as via the mains. The
mains plug and all connected antenna cables should also be pulled
out during long periods of absence.

D
Automatic shutdown
If the TV is not operated for 4 hours (adjustment of volume, programme
change, etc.) the TV will automatically switch to stand-by mode to save
energy. A prompt to terminate this shutdown process appears one
minute before expiry of the 4 hours.
The automatic shutdown is active in the energy efficiency mode
Home Mode.
Automatic shutdown does not occur when using the radio without
screen display (screen off).
Cleaning and care
Switch off the TV set with the main switch prior to cleaning.
Clean the TV set, the screen, and the remote control unit with a soft,
moist, clean and colour-neutral cloth only, without any aggressive or
scouring cleaning agents.
The speaker panel of your TV set is covered with textile. Vacuum the
surface regularly using a soft brush set.
In case of dirt or stains:
Moisten a soft, colour-neutral cloth with detergent or normal stain
remover and gently rub away the stain. You can also treat the mark/
stain directly with normal dry stain remover spray (vacuum up
powder).
Do not moisten the covering fabric directly with detergent or stain
remover (risk of encrustation). Do not use any solvents to clean the
fabric.
Follow the manufacturer’s instructions when using stain removers.
There is an increased risk of encrustation when cleaning speaker
panels with nicotine deposits.
Repairs and accessories
Never remove the back of the TV set yourself. Have your TV set
repaired or serviced by authorised television technicians only.
Only use original accessories such as Loewe stands, if possible.
Technical information
Switching off the TV set with the mains switch during operation or an
inadvertent disruption to the power supply (e.g., power failure) can
cause damage to the hard disk file system
(1
and hence loss of the
recorded broadcasts.
Never ever disconnect the USB storage device from the TV set during
a copy process. Before switching off the set with the mains switch, we
recommend you to switch it to standby mode.
However, if unexpected problems occur when operating the hard
disk, formatting the hard disk may rectify this. You can find the
corresponding menu items under System settingsטControl ט
more...טHard disks.
Loewe are not liable for the loss of data on the integrated hard disk
(1
of your TV set. To avoid data loss, we recommend copying important
recordings to an external storage medium.

Power consumption
Your TV set is equipped with an eco-standby power supply. In the
standby mode, the power consumption drops to low power (see
chapter Technical data). 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 possibly programmed timer recordings cannot
be carried out by the TV set.
The TV set will be completely separated from mains only when you
unplug the mains cable.
The power consumed by the TV set during operation depends on the
energy efficiency preset in the initial installation or on the setting in
the system settings.
If you activate the automatic dimming, your TV picture will adapt to
the ambient brightness. This reduces the power consumption of the
TV set.
If the TV set is not operated for 4 hours (adjustment of volume,
programme change, etc.) the TV set will automatically switch to stand-
by mode to save energy. A prompt to terminate this shutdown process
appears one minute before expiry of the 4 hours.
Cardboard box and packaging
You have made a decision to purchase a high-quality technical product
with a long service life. For disposal of the packaging, we have paid a

be disposed of separately. Never dispose of this device
in normal domestic waste!
You can hand in your old unit free of charge at identified
collection points or to your dealer if you buy a similar new unit. Other
details about re-acceptance (also for non-EU countries) are available
from your local municipal administration.

The batteries supplied as initial equipment do not con-
tain any pollutants such as cadmium, lead, or mercury.
In accordance with the Battery Directive, used batter-
ies should no longer be disposed of in the domestic
waste. Dispose of your batteries at no charge in the
collection containers which are set up for this pur-
pose in retail stores.
