Welcome

Thank you,

for choosing a Loewe product.

We are very happy to have you as a customer.

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 customers pure watching and listening enjoyment.

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 technical 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 instructions and is the reason why this operating 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.

TV equipment

This operating manual describes the maximum equipment.

Functions marked by ^* are not available in all TV sets.

The illustrated menu contents may vary depending on the TV equipment.

You can find out what equipment your TV has in the main information – Technical spec. of TV set.

Setup and cleaning

Please note that the feet of the TV set could leave marks on soft wood furniture (e.g. deal, pine, fir etc.) due to the weight and moving the set about.

The plastic material of the feet contains softeners which could in some cases etch the surfaces of furniture.

In such cases you should place a firm underlay about the same size as the base of the TV set underneath it.

Please also read and observe the safety instructions on the following pages.

Make sure no bright light or sunlight falls on the screen and impairs the picture by reflections.

Clean the TV set only with a damp, soft, clean cloth (never use aggressive or abrasive cleaning agents).

For your own safety

For your own safety and in order to avoid unnecessarily damaging your TV set, please read and observe the following safety instructions:

• This TV set is designed exclusively for receiving and reproducing audio and visual (AV) signals.
• It is designed for the home or office and may not be used in rooms with high humidity (e.g. bathroom, sauna) or a high concentration of dust (e.g. workshops). If the TV set is occasionally used outdoors, you should make sure that is protected from water (rain, splashing, dew). High moisture and dust concentrations produce creep currents in the set which can lead to danger of electric shock or fire.

The manufacturer's warranty is only valid for use of the TV set in the specified permissible environment.

• This set may only be connected to a power supply with the voltage and frequency specified on the rating plate using the enclosed power cable. The wrong voltages can damage the set.
• If the set is moved from a cold environment to a warm room, condensation forms on all parts of the set. Moisture produces creep currents in the set which can cause a fire. In this case, you should leave the set for a reasonable time to acclimatize (when the condensation on the screen has evaporated) before switching it on.

- Like every piece of electronic equipment, your TV needs air for cooling. Obstructing the air supply to the set can cause fires. The air vents on the back of the TV set must always be kept free. Do not leave newspapers or cloths lying on the TV set. The air supply is also impaired when the TV set is placed on a blanket or a thick pile carpet.

10 cm 5 cm 5 cm

If the TV set is placed in a cabinet or on a shelf, at least 5 cm clearance at the sides and at least 10 cm at the top must be left to allow air to circulate.

Stand the TV set in a place where it is not exposed to direct sunlight or additional heating from radiators.

- Magnetic fields influence the picture quality of the TV set. Do not place loudspeakers or other magnetic sources immediately next to the TV set.

- Avoid dropping metal objects, needles, paper clips, liquids, wax or similar into the air vents at the back of the set. This causes short circuiting of the set and could start a fire. If anything should get inside the set, switch it off immediately, pull out the plug and call the after-sales service to check it.

Do not place vases filled with water, lighted candles etc. on the top of the TV set.

For your own safety

• You should never attempt to remove the rear panel of the TV yourself. The set operates 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 center of gravity fairly near to the front. The TV set therefore has a tendency to tip forward 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, makes 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 capacity.

Simple line drawing of a monitor with an arched base (no text or symbols)

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 because this 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 absence.
• 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 chemicals; the latter applies for the entire TV set. A power cable with defective insulation 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.

Initial installation

Batteries – Remote control

To insert or change the batteries, press the point marked by an embossed arrow. Push the cover of the battery compartment down and remove it. Insert the batteries of the alkaline manganese type LR 03 (AAA) with the correct polarity (+/-).

Then push the cover back on.

Note on disposal of batteries:

The original batteries do not contain any pollutants such as cadmium, lead and mercury. Used batteries do not belong in the domestic waste. They must be taken to the appropriate collection points according to the national laws. Ask your dealer.

Connection

Mains

Connect the TV set to a 230V/50–60 Hertz outlet.

Antennae

Connect your antenna or cable system to the VHF/UHF antenna socket. If your TV is equipped with a picture-in-picture tuner (PIP), plug the antenna plug protruding from above the PIP antenna socket into the antenna socket for the VHF/UHF tuner. Plug the antenna plug of your antenna or cable system into the socket of the PIP tuner. If your TV set is equipped with one or two satellite tuners, connect the SAT antennae to the SAT sockets (see figure on page 5).

You can repeat initial installation at any time, e.g. after moving house. Call the index in the main information (i button). Then select the item "Repeat initial installation". Then start "Initial installation" with OK.

Daily handling

Switching on/off

Your TV set is equipped with an eco-standby power supply unit. The power consumption drops to low power in standby mode. If you want to save even more energy, switch the set off with the On/Off switch. However, please note that EPG data are then lost and timer recordings programmed on the TV set will not be carried out.

If the TV is switched on, you can switch it off with the blue On/Off button on the remote control. The red standby LED on the set lights up. If the green LED also lights, a timer recording is programmed, EPG data is being acquired or radio mode without screen display is active.

From standby it is best to switch back on with the blue On/Off button or with a numeric key (station 0-9). The green operating LED then lights up.

When you switch on the TV with OK, you see the station table and can choose a station.

Switch on in the radio mode.

You will find the On/Off button of the TV behind the control panel cover.

None of the indicators lights up when you switch off the TV set with the On/Off button on the set.

Modes of operation

Video mode

You can operate Loewe video recorders and DVD players with the video control bars even if they are hidden. The VCR's must be connected to the Euro AV sockets (Scart) and logged in under the "Connections" menu.

Digital Link must be switched on on the Loewe video recorder. Only then can you use the control bar. You also need Digital Link for timer recordings of satellite programs controlled by the TV set.

You can display up to two control bars but they are only displayed by logged in VCR's and DVD players.

When you start a recording, the program you have just selected is recorded. You cannot switch over to another channel, it is locked. You can only switch over when the recording has finished.

Exceptions:

1. You have installed several tuners (not PIP tuners) in the TV set, then you can watch another channel with the second tuner.
2. You can also watch the signal via an AV connection (e.g. DVD player or a second VCR).
3. In a VCR with Digital Link Plus the VCR tuner is used for the recording (not for satellite programs).

Video menu

Show the Video menu

Video menu Timer recording ▶ Timer change Delete timer Connections i Info M Back E End

The Video menu provides you with options for timer programming by EPG, teletext or manually. You can also change or delete timer data.

In the "Connections" menu you can log other AV equipment on or off and make a "Digital Link Plus data transfer. This serves to transfer the transmitter data of the TV set (not satellite stations) to the Digital Link Plus VCR.

Digital Link Plus VCRs have the possibility for transferring the station data from the TV set to the VCR via the Euro-AV cable (not for satellite stations). Every time you change the station memory of the TV, you are asked whether you want to make a data transfer.

The receiver unit of the VCR is always used for recording with a Digital Link Plus video recorder (not satellite stations) and the tuner of the TV set is available for watching TV.

Loewe VCRs also have Digital Link, a system for controlling Loewe VCRs via the Euro-AV cable. The TV tuner is used for recording here. If you have installed your Loewe VCR in a concealed place, you can operate the Loewe VCR with the remote control. Operation with the control bar also works with Digital Link.

Digital Link must be switched on on the video recorder.

Only use fully wired Euro-AV cables, otherwise Digital Link or Digital Link Plus will not work.

Operating additional equipment

Logging in AV equipment

You have already logged in and connected all the connected videos with the connection wizard in initial installation. If you now want to connect additional or different equipment, you have to launch the connection wizard in the TV menu "Connections".

Connecting VCR equipment

In addition to the connection via the Euro-AV socket, you also have to connect the antenna (only for antenna or cable systems) through the VCR to the TV set. The antenna signal is then available both to the tuner in the VCR and the TV tuner.

Search for and store the VCR station (if there is no Euro AV cable)

Switch on the test station on the VCR or insert a recorded tape and start playback.

Then call program 0 on the TV set (set ex-factory to channel 36). Select the first menu item (VCR) in the AV selection list.

To prevent "normal" TV stations being found in the search, pull out the antenna plug from the antenna input of the VCR temporarily (the plug attached to the cable to the antenna system).

Plug the antenna plug back into the VCR. If you now get interference because a TV station is transmitting on the same channel as the VCR station, you have to change the transmitting station on the VCR (see operating instructions of the VCR) and search for the VCR station on the TV again.

Operating additional equipment

Video playback

In order to see the VCR picture on your TV and hear its sound you have several possibilities:

1. You can use the Euro-AV sockets on the TV set and on the VCR. This is the best option of all – good picture and sound quality. If you are playing back from a VCR with Digital Link Plus, the VCR picture is shown on the current station slot. If you are playing back from a standard VCR, DVD player or camcorder, select the AV socket to which the video signal is connected in the AV selection list or the station table. Video recorders emit a switching voltage during playback which the TV set can decode (can be activated for every VCR in the connection wizard). Then the VCR picture is shown on the current station slot as in Digital Link Plus VCR's.

2. You use the antenna connection between the VCR and the TV set. The sound is only broadcast in mono. To do this, select the first menu item, e.g. VCR, in the AV selection list.

Operating additional equipment

Operating Loewe video recorders and Loewe DVD players directly

You can switch over the remote control of the TV set to operate Loewe video recorders and Loewe DVD players. These devices can be operated directly or, in the case of equipment installed in a concealed place, by the TV set. In this case the Digital Link function of the VCR must be switched on.

Select the device to be operated:

for VCR:

the VTR indicator on the remote control lights up ...

press again, the DVD indicator lights up ...

press again, none of the indicators lights, the TV is then activated.

The TV cannot be operated if VTR or DVD is switched on. In this case switch back to TV or wait 20 seconds until the remote control automatically switches back to TV mode (none of the indicators lights).

Loewe VCRs VV3600H, VV8500H and VV5000M cannot be controlled with this remote control. Please use the original remote control or the video bar.
