Thank you
for choosing a Loewe TV set!
Loewe stands for the highest demands in technology, design and user 
friendliness. This applies equally for TV, video and accessories.

combinations and installation possibilities, your Loewe TV set also offers 
many technological options. 
Loewe Image+
State-of-the-art Full-HD-LCD-displays with LED-Backlight Technology. The 
advantage of the LED-Backlight is in the reduced energy consumption and 
high contrast values.

Loewe Sound+
Loewe Sound+
 contains sound processors that are optimally calibrated 
to the TV set and boasts a closed coverage construction type for the

  Scope of delivery
• LCD TV set
• Mains cable
• Velcro cable ties
• Remote control Assist with two batteries
• TV quick guide
The TV (apart from Individual 32) set is delivered ex-factory without

TV set to suit your needs. Ask your dealer. 
About this operating manual
For best results regarding safety and the longevity of the set, we recom-
mend you read the chapter For your Safety (page 8) before switching 
it on for the first time.
The functions of the Loewe TV set are largely self-explanatory. However, 
should you have any questions, the integrated index and the info display 
(see page 17) can assist you further. 
The index/glossary from page 147 onwards gives explanations of certain 
terms used in the TV set and the operating manual.
Paragraphs which begin with the symbol ➠ indicate important instruc-
tions, 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 left 
of the text containing the instructions for action.
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 (see also page 130).
In the operating manual, this symbol indicates places in 
which the use of a keyboard is particularly advantageous.
Depending on the connected accessory equipment the menus in the TV 
set can differ from those described here. The sets are illustrated without 
speakers in most figures.
All the station names, programme contents, the illustrated photos, titles, 
albums and album covers in this operating manual are examples.
In some countries, the stations also transmit interactive data services with 
their programmes (see page 54, Digital Teletext/MHEG-5), whereby the 
functions of individual keys are not available or only so to a limited extent. 
InterActive  The symbol indicates which functions can differ for a loaded 
application. 
The operating instructions for your TV set are updated at irregular 
intervals. We recommend checking now and then, especially after a 
software update.
Welcome

For your own safety and to prevent unnecessary damage to your device, 
read and comply with the following safety instructions:
Proper use and environmental conditions
This TV set is designed exclusively for reception and reproduction of 
video and audio signals and is designed for living rooms or office facilities, 
and should not be operated in rooms with high humidity, such as a 
bathroom, or sauna, or where there is a high concentration of dust (e.g. 
workshops). The manufacturer‘s warranty is only valid for use in the specified 
permissible environment.
If the set is used outdoors ensure that it is protected against moisture 
(rain, splashing water, or dew). High humidity and dust concentrations 
cause leak currents in the device, which can cause a shock hazard if the 
device is touched, or a fire.
If you have brought the set into a 
warm environment from the cold, 
then wait for about 1 hour before 
switching it on to avoid formation of 
condensation.
Do not place any objects filled with 
liquids on top of the appliance. Pro-
tect the appliance against dripping 
and splashing water.
Candles or naked flames must be kept 
away from the appliance at all times 
to prevent it from catching fire.
Never place the TV set in a position where it is exposed to vibrations. This 
can lead to material overload.
Transporting
Only transport the device in vertical position. Grasp the device on the 
upper and lower edges of the housing. Sets without system speakers 
should never be placed on the protruding control unit on the bottom of 
the set. This could damage the control unit.
If the set has to be put down during packing/unpacking, place the TV 
set with the entire front surface lying flat on a soft underlay such as a 
blanket or the felt from the packing material. 
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 dam-
aged and liquid crystal might be leaking out. In the case of skin contact 
immediately wash thoroughly with water.Power supply
The wrong voltage can damage the set.   
 
 
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 mains cable 
provided. 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 you 
unplug the mains plug, do not pull on the cable rather pull on the plug 
housing. The cable in the mains plug could be damaged and cause a 
short circuit the next time it is plugged in.
Lay out the mains cable in such a manner that it cannot be damaged. 
The mains cable must not be kinked or laid over sharp edges, stepped 
on or exposed to chemicals; The latter also applies for the entire equip-
ment. A mains cable with damaged insulation can cause electrical shock 
and is a fire hazard.
Air circulation and high temperatures
The vent slots on the rear panel of the set must always be kept free. 
Please do not place newspapers or cloths on/over the TV. 
Ensure 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 circula-
tion can cause fires. 
The set is suitable for different 
installation solutions. See the 
instructions for assembly for the different installation solutions. Stand 
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. The TV set may only be operated 
horizontally, the vertical tilt must not be more than 10 degrees maximum. 
The TV set must never be operated on edge, lying on the ground or 
hanging from the ceiling.
Set up the device where it is not exposed to direct 
sunlight and where it 
is not exposed to additional warming through heating elements.  
  Prevent metal items, needles, 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 customer service for 
more information.
  For your  safety

Thunder storms
Pull out the mains plug and all connected  antenna  cables from the TV 
set in a thunderstorm. Overvoltage caused by lightning 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 pe-
riods of absence.
Note on the LCD screen
The TV set you have purchased with LCD screen satisfies the most rigor-
ous quality requirements and has been inspected relative to pixel errors. 
Despite our thorough care when manufacturing the display, it cannot be 
100% guaranteed that no subpixel defects will be present due to techni-
cal reasons. Please understand that these types of effects, as long as they 
are within the standard of specified limits, 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.
 Cleaning and care
➠ Switch off the TV set at the main switch before cleaning.
   
 
Clean the TV set, the screen, and the remote control unit with a soft, 
moist, and clean cloth only, without any aggressive or scouring cleaning 
agents.
Sets with glass screens may be cleaned with a conventional glass cleaner.  TV sets with 3D function
Read the following safety instructions before using the 3D function of 
your TV set.
Please only use Loewe 3D glasses (see Accessories on page 140) in 
conjunction with Loewe 3D TV sets.
People that have a visual disorder may not be able to perceive 3D effects 
or may only be able to perceive them to a limited extent. People that are 
sensitive to flickering images (e.g. those with epilepsy) should only use 
this product 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 devices 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 when viewing 3D films, so that you are able 
to relax. Failure to do this 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 
arise 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.
Repairs and accessories
Never remove the back of the TV set yourself. Only have your TV device 
repaired or serviced by authorised television technicians.
Only use original accessories such as Loewe stands if possible (see Acces-
sories on page 140.
Supervision
Do not allow children to use the TV set without supervision or to play in 
the immediate vicinity of the TV 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.
For your  safety
