 Welcome
Thank you,
for choosing a Loewe product.
We are very happy to have you as a cus-
tomer.
Loewe combines high quality in technology,
design and user friendliness. This applies
equally for TV, video and accessories.
Neither the technology nor the design are an
end in themselves but serve to give our cus-
tomers pure watching and listening enjoy-
ment.
We have not allowed ourselves to be led
astray by short-lived fashion trends in the
design. You have, after all, purchased a high-
quality piece of equipment which you don’t
want to get tired of looking at tomorrow or
the day after.
About the set
We have designed the TV set in such a
way that it is easy to operate with
menus. If you need information about
how to operate it, just display the info
texts with the i button, you will soon
get a grasp of the relationships.
You will find the answers to many tech-
nical questions in the index of your TV
set. If it’s 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 instruc-
tions and is the reason why this operat-
ing manual you are reading only explains
the most important operating steps.
With the remote control, you can operate
three Loewe units, this TV, a Loewe video
recorder and a Loewe DVD player.

leave marks on soft wood furniture (e.g. deal,

The plastic material of the feet contains

In such cases you should place a firm under-

set underneath it.
Please also read and observe the safety in-
structions on the following pages.
Make sure no bright light or sunlight falls on
the screen and impairs the picture by reflec-

this case, you should leave the set for a
reasonable time to acclimatize (when the

before switching it on.

 For your own safety
• You should never attempt to remove the
rear panel of the TV yourself. The set op-
erates with high voltages which could be
fatal. Leave repairs and servicing of your TV
set to authorized TV technicians.
• Due to the picture tube, TV sets have their
centre of gravity fairly near to the front. The
TV set therefore has a tendency to tip for-
ward relatively easily which could cause
injury to persons.
Only stand the TV set on a level, firm base.
The set must stand on all feet. The TV
should not overhang particularly when it is
placed in a cabinet or on a shelf.
If the TV is placed on a stand, make sure
this is larger than the surface area of the
base of the TV.
When using turntables and drawer shelves,
make sure they have a sufficient load ca-
pacity.
8
We recommend you to use only original
parts, e.g. Loewe racks and stands.
If the TV set is placed on a console with
castors, move the console carefully because
the console and the TV could tip over.
Consoles with castors may considerably
reduce the stability of the sets placed on
them, so only use consoles specially
designed and approved for the TV.
Never allow children to handle the TV set
unsupervised.
Do not allow children to play close to the
TV set, they could knock, push or pull it
from the stand and injure someone.
• Do not place the TV anywhere where it may
be exposed to vibrations. Vibrations can
lead to overloading of materials.
• Do not leave the TV on unsupervised.
• Pull out the antenna and mains plugs
during a thunderstorm. Surge voltages from
lighting strikes can damage the set both
through the antenna system and the mains.
You should also pull out the antenna and
mains plugs during long periods of ab-
sence.
• The mains plug of the TV must be easily
accessible so that it can be disconnected
from the mains quickly at any time.
• Lay the power cable so that it cannot be
damaged. The power cable may not be
kinked or laid over sharp edges, and may
not be walked over or exposed to chemi-
cals; the latter applies for the entire TV
set. A power cable with defective insu-
lation can lead to electric shocks and
is a fire risk.
• When you pull out the mains plug, do not
tug the cable but hold the housing of the
plug. The cables in the mains plug could
be damaged and cause a short circuit the
next time it is plugged in.
