Welcome
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.
In addition to the elegant design and the many different possible colour 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.
24p films played by a connected HDMI unit can be displayed optimally.
Loewe Sound+
Loewe Sound ^+ contains sound processors that are optimally calibrated to the TV set and boasts a closed coverage construction type for the integrated loudspeakers.
Many Loewe TV sets are fitted with a digital multi-channel audio decoder for impressive 5.1 surround sound.
You can reach the MediaPortal via the MEDIA button on your remote control, giving you access to all multimedia functions of your TV set.
Loewe DR+
If the hard disc recorder DR+ ^(1) is integrated into your TV set, you can record TV programmes simply at the press of a button. Programmes currently being watched can be interrupted, rewound and played back from the desired point if needed.

About this operating manual
For best results regarding safety and the longevity of the set, we recommend 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 15) can assist you further.
The index/glossary from page 144 onwards gives explanations of certain terms used in the TV set and the operating manual.
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 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 128).
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.
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 52, Digital Teletext/MHEG-5), whereby the functions of individual keys are not available or only so to a limited extent.
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.
For your safety
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. Protect 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.
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 damaged 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 equipment. 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 circulation 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
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 138) 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 Accessories on page 138.
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.
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 periods of absence.
Note on the LCD screen
The TV set you have purchased with LCD screen satisfies the most rigorous 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 technical 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.
Control unit front side of the device
USB recording is only possible for devices without DR+ (integrated hard disc recorder).

Initial installation
Installing the TV set
Installation options
Your TV set is supplied equipped with a table stand. Further set-up solutions are available for purchase from your Loewe dealer. Only use Loewe installation solutions (e.g. wall mounts, floor stand) that are included in the Accessories – Setup possibilities chapter on page 141.
After selecting an installation option, read the appropriate assembly instructions.
Installation notes
Choose a place for installing your TV where no bright light or sunlight shines directly onto the screen. This could cause reflections which impair the picture.
3 times the screen diagonal can be taken as a guide value or the viewing distance (e.g. for 40-inch set approx. 3m for SD signal). The viewing distance can be reduced with an HD signal.
Set covers
Covers for rear and side connections
To remove the rear cable cover, pull the two recessed handles at the bottom and drop down the cover.
To fit the cover, insert the lugs at the top edge of the cover into the corresponding cut-outs in the rear panel and push up the cover until it snaps in.
The side cover of the TV set can also be completely removed. For this, open it as far as it will go and gently pull on the open cover.
The cover detaches from the holder and gives free access to the connection area. To replace the cover, simply push it until it latches back into place.

Loudspeaker/ For analogue stations: In the case of programmes with Headphone twin sound, you can select separately between Mono/ Stereo or Sound 1 or Sound 2 for the loudspeakers and the headphones.
For DVB channels: You can choose here if you wish to listen to a special soundtrack for the visually impaired over the speakers. This soundtrack uses an audio commentary to describe the action taking place on-screen. The menu item only appears if an audio commentary is offered by the current channel.
Auto Volume Reduces volume differences, e.g. for advertisements that are too loud.
AV output You can indicate here which sound is output via the AV signal socket for dual sound programmes: Sound 1 (e.g. main language), sound 2 (e.g. foreign language), or sound 1+2 (both simultaneously).
Maximum volume Determining the maximum volume that can be set.
max. switch on volume Specify the volume that is set when switching on the TV set with the mains switch.
If the volume is higher when switching the TV set to the standby mode than specified here, then it is reduced automatically to the fixed maximum switching on volume when it is turned on again.
Volume adjustment for current station The volume can differ according to the individual stations. If the sound is too loud or too quiet in relation to other stations, adjust the volume. When the menu is open, you can select the stations one after another with P+/P− and adjust every single station conveniently.
Balance Set stereo balance so that the volume impression is identical on the left and right.

3D Select the settings for your TV set's 3D display (see page 36).
Picture You can switch between three fixed picture setting variations and the three personal picture values that you have set here (see page 35).
Contrast The contrast setting depends on the brightness of the room. The brighter the surroundings the higher the contrast should be set.
The power consumption of the TV set is directly dependent on the value set here (see also page 22).
Colour intensity Set the colour intensity to suit your personal taste. The colours should appear natural.
Colour Here, you can give the TV picture a warmer or colder hue temperature according to your personal taste.

Explanations of the picture settings (continuation):
Image+ Active Picture improvement on/off and demo mode for Image+ Active.
Auto dimming If this auto dimming is active then the television picture - Room contrast is automatically reduced when the room brightness diminishes (Optical Power Control – OPC). This will also reduce the power consumption of the TV.
→ Owing to a reduction in the luminance in 3D mode for technical reasons, this function is deactivated when showing 3D content.
Auto dimming - Video (VBD+) If this automatic dimming ("Video compensating Backlight Dimming") is active then, dependant on the current video content, the background lighting is reduced and concurrently the video signal is enhanced resulting in improved contrast to your television picture. This will also reduce the power consumption of the TV.
Film quality DMM reduces jolt in rapid picture object movements and impr. (DMM) rolling text displays. This applies especially for movies.
Auto format Automatic detection and setting of the picture format for Cinemascope or widescreen movies.

3D function
You can use the 3D functionality of your TV set to display 3D material transmitted by a channel or from an external player that is connected.
You require a pair of Loewe Active 3D Glasses to be able to use the 3D functionality in its entirety (see Accessories on page 138). Please read the operating instructions included with the 3D glasses.
3D settings
Using the 3D settings you can select the correct display format, should this not have been detected automatically. What's more, you can choose to view 3D material in 2D or "traditional" 2D material in 3D.
For 3D content that is being played back from an external HDMI player, the 3D display format is normally recognised correctly when the factory setting 3D mode → automatic is selected. You may need to set the 3D mode manually to view 3D content from broadcasters.
Owing to a reduction in the luminance in 3D mode for technical reasons, the Auto dimming - Room (see page 34) is deactivated when showing 3D content.
If the TV set is operated with the remote control during a 3D playback, flicker effects can occur in the 3D glasses during this.

Picture in Picture
Picture in Picture (PIP)
The concurrent display of two different images is referred to as Picture in Picture.
Restrictions for the PIP mode:
The selection and combination options for main screen/PIP screen basically depend on the device variant (with/without DR+) and the number of receivers (tuners) of the TV set (see Equipment variants on page 140).
In the case of TV sets that are only equipped with one DVB-T/C single tuner, the PIP operation is restricted to AV-PIP (one DVB TV station and one AV source). If a satellite tuner is fitted subsequently in these devices, PIP operation is also possible from a digital satellite picture and picture via antenna/cable (analogue or DVB-T/C).
A concurrent representation of two MPEG4 coded HDTV signals is not possible.
A concurrent representation of two coded stations is not possible.
→ Simultaneous display of two analogue stations is not possible.
→ Picture change and station selection is restricted during recording.
PIP Mode is not accessible as long as an HbbTV application is active (see page 80).
The PIP operation distinguishes between two functionalities:
iPIP Only in sets with a TV picture is moved to the PIP picture when you start the iPIP mode. The station of the TV picture is now freely selectable. When you exit iPIP mode the PIP picture becomes the TV picture again and the PIP window is closed.
An orange frame around the PIP picture shows the iPIP functionality
Standard PIP Stations freely selectable and changeable for PIP and TV picture (coloured buttons have PIP-specific meaning, see right hand column).
A green frame around the PIP picture indicates that the station selection affects the PIP picture. A white frame means that the operation refers to the main picture. If the frame is blue, the station play is active in the PIP picture.

Electronic Programme Guide
Electronic Programme Guide – EPG
EPG stands for Electronic Programme Guide and provides you with on-screen programme details. With the system, as with a printed programme guide, you can learn about the current programme. In addition programmes can be sorted according to certain topics, memorised, and also recordings can be programmed.
Starting and ending EPG
EPG: Switch EPG on / off.
→ EPG is only available for DVB stations.
The first time you start EPG, an assistant will guide you through the necessary presettings.
The display of the programme guide is divided into two branches. The specifications in the upper section limit the scope of the stations displayed in the lower section.
Blue button: Switches between the upper default lines Date, ..., Topics and the lower programme list.
Switching and memorizing with the programme list
→ You are in the lower programme list, if not, press the blue button.
▼ ▲ Selectstation.
OK View / Memorise.
View The programme is in progress. The TV set switches to the marked programme.
Memorise The programme has not started yet and is memorised. A √ will appear in front of the station title. The TV will ask at the beginning of a programme if it should change the channel or switch on from the stand-by mode if the corresponding option of the EPG menu is activated (see page 49).
Programmes can also be noted by the timer overview (see page 123).
Adjusting the programme list
The selection is at the top of the specifications, if not, press the blue button.
▼ ▲ Select Date, Time, Stations or Topics.
◀ ▶ Select defaults within the respective line.
Example If you are searching for the next news, select
17:00 for example for the time, all for station and News for topics. Then you get a list of all news programmes from 17.00 h onwards in the programme list below it.
The type of list of programmes in the programme list depends on the setting of the sorting in the EPG menu (page 49).
Time entry If the line Time is selected, then you can enter the time after which the programmes will be displayed, via the numeric buttons of the remote control. The broadcasts are sorted according to the order of the station list within the selected time window.
Stations If a favourites list has been selected, only the programmes of stations from the favourites list are displayed in the programme list. A single station can be selected with “...”. The Select single station window is opened. After selection, only programmes of the selected single station are displayed.
Hint Before pressing the blue button to leave the upper selection lines, select one of the preceding lines. If you then switch back to the programme list, you can change this menu line with ◀▶, without having to leave the programme list. If you have marked Time, then you can enter the time, after which the programmes will be displayed, with the numeric buttons of the remote control.

T Digital terrestrial stations (DVB-T).
C Digital cable stations (DVB-C).
S Digital satellite stations (DVB-S) ^(1) .
Data capture Here you can switch the data entry for the electronic programme guide (EPG) on and off.
If the data entry is switched on, your TV set tries to update the database overnight (normally between 2 and 5 am) or if required two minutes after switching to stand-by mode. The TV set must be on stand-by for this and not switched off at the mains switch.
The indicator on the TV set lights orange during data entry in stand-by mode.
The data are also updated while you are watching the EPG station.
Switch on TV when marked When yes is set, the switched off TV switches on automatically from the standby mode at the beginning of a set programme. A screen message appears when switching on. If this is not confirmed within 5 minutes with the OK button, the TV switches back off automatically for safety reasons.
Sorting The programmes can be sorted either according to their start times (chronologically) or according to stations (corresponding to station list).

Interactive data services (Digital teletext/MHEG-5)
In some countries, the stations also transmit interactive data services with their programmes (e.g. Digital teletext/MHEG-5), whereby the functions of individual keys are not available or only so to a limited extent.
The symbol indicates which functions can differ for a application.
In the UK or Ireland, the teletext for DVB-T stations is transmitted as per the MHEG-5 standard. It contains text, graphics, functions and links.
→ Available in e.g., UK, Ireland, New Zealand.
→ Digital teletext is not available when DVB subtitles are being displayed.
The operation of these menus depends on the particular provider. Normally after a station is changed, the provider broadcasting the digital teletext makes an introductory offer for this service on the screen via menu selection. Follow these notes.
If no message appears telling you how to switch to digital teletext after switching to another station, press the TEXT key. If a selection for DVB subtitles is available, this item must be hidden before.
Depending on the provider's respective offer, you can use the ▲▼◀▶ buttons and the OK button, the coloured buttons, the END/TEXT button and sometimes even the numeric buttons.
If you want to close the digital teletext, just select a different station using the P+/P- buttons or follow the menu prompts on the screen.

Digital Recorder
About the Digital Recorder system
Using the Digital Recorder of your Loewe TV set you can record programmes onto the integrated hard disc (for TV sets with DR+), or onto an external hard disc connected via USB (USB Recording for TV sets without DR+).
The Digital Recorder can also process HDTV signals including the audio and auxiliary signals that they contain.
The various ways in which your Digital Recorder can be used are listed below.
The availability and operation of certain Digital Recorder functions are dependent on the type of equipment present (DR+ or USB Recording). Refer to the instructions on the individual pages for more information.

Digital Recorder
TV viewing with time shift
In the case of devices with an integrated hard disc, the Digital Recorder records the TV programme you are currently watching in the background if DR continuous mode is switched on in the Digital Recorder menu (factory setting).
Time-shifted operation is perhaps not possible or only to a limited extent for programmes of stations working with CI Plus encoding (see page 107).
- Time shift
You can stop a TV programme at any time and continue playing it later with a time shift. The maximum time shift is up to 3 hours. The recording starts again from the beginning and the old content is deleted every time you switch stations.
• Fast navigation by jumping
You can wind and rewind during a film at just the press of a button. The jump distance is adjustable.
The Smart Jump function also ensures that the jump width is halved each time the jump direction is changed or doubled after three jumps in the same direction (max. 8 minutes). This way you can quickly find a certain spot of the recording.
- Fast forward and rewind
You can fast forward and rewind at three different speeds in the programme you are viewing with time shift.
- Slow motion
You can play a programme which you are watching with a time offset at four different slow motion speeds.
- Subsequent archive recording (1)
When viewing a time-shift TV programme, you can archive the whole programme to the digital recorder's archive.
- Setting bookmarks
During a football match, for example, you can flag goals or exciting scenes. For this, the time shift recording is converted into an archive recording. At a later viewing you can replay bookmarked sections of a film as highlights. 30 seconds before and after the set bookmark are played.
- Replay function
When, for example, you are watching live football, you can, at the touch of a button, rewind by 40 seconds and replay a scene. You see the live picture at the same time in a PIP picture (not for HDTV broadcasts).
Digital Recorder archive
You can record movies you want to watch later in the Digital Recorder's archive.
Recordings of CI Plus encoded programmes are perhaps not possible or only to a limited extent (see page 107).
If EPG or teletext data are available, the Digital Recorder stores the title and additional information about each programme in the archive.
If additional languages are being transmitted for a DVB broadcast, these are also recorded. DVB subtitles or teletext subtitles are recorded if the recording of subtitles has been activated in the Digital Recorder settings. Display language selection and subtitles as in TV mode.
Start playback of your recordings from the archive.
If bookmarks were set in a recording, these entries are marked accordingly (▶). You can start playback so that the bookmarks are played as highlights (see page 100).
Comfortably select your favourite programme for recording from the EPG or teletext and watch the programmes later from the Digital Recorder's archive.
An automatic Delete Manager always ensures there is sufficient recording space for new movies (see page 94).
- Sort titles
You can have the broadcasts displayed according to time, alphabetically or by station name. You can therefore quickly find the recording you want to watch.
- Rename/edit titles
You can change the title of a programme in the archive, if necessary.
- Parental lock
Protect your archive against unauthorised access by using the parental lock feature.
- Delete protection
Set the delete protection for a movie to prevent it from being deleted automatically by the Delete Manager (see page 94).
- Copy
Using time control, copy films from the archive of the digital recorder to the external DVD recorder or onto external hard discs.
Digital Recorder
Archive recording
To record encoded programmes, please also read the instructions on pages 106 and 107.
You can watch another programme ^1 or playback a recorded programme ^1 from the archive when recording a TV programme into the archive. You can also play the same programme you are currently recording with a time shift.
Record interesting programmes directly into the DR archive with the RECORD button. When viewing time-shift broadcasts (see page 83) the current broadcast can be saved to the DR archive. The programme is recorded from the beginning to the end of the time offset recording or to the end of the set recording time.
• Timer-controlled recording
Comfortably select your favourite programme for recording, from the EPG or teletext. The timer overview has room for 50 entries. Watch the programmes later from the Digital Recorder's archive.
- Serial recording
You can conveniently programme series broadcast with alternating start times.
In some broadcast networks (like UK FreeView) you can even let the TV set record series and split events automatically depending on the information provided by the broadcaster. A conflict manager (see page 14) will also automatically try to find alternate instances of conflicting recordings if signalled by the broadcaster (e.g. UK FreePlay).
• Time shift viewing with archive recording
If you have programmed recording and come home before it is finished, you can watch the movie with a time shift while the rest is still being recorded.
Archive playback
All the recorded programmes can be selected in the archive and played. During archive playback, another programme can be recorded into the archive.
- Fast forward and rewind
There are three different speeds for winding and rewinding films.
- Fast navigation by jumping
You can fast forward and rewind during a film at the touch of a button. The jump width is adjustable (see page 85).
The Smart Jump function also ensures that the jump width is halved each time the jump direction is changed or doubled after three jumps in the same direction (max. 8 minutes). This way you can quickly find a certain spot of the recording.
- Slow motion
You can use playback at four different slow motion speeds.
- Bookmarks
To find interesting scenes in a movie later, you can manually set the bookmarks. In addition, there are also automatically set bookmarks every time a broadcast is changed. You can jump to each of the bookmarks in succession at the press of a button.
- Playing highlights
For recordings with manually set bookmarks you can limit the playback only to the highlights. You then see the scenes 30 seconds before and after each set bookmark. If there is more than one bookmark the highlights are played one after the other.
- Cut/Hide functions
Unwanted sections at the beginning and ending of a recording are easy to delete. Set hiding marks ^1 around uninteresting sections to watch a movie without interruptions or to archive it on DVD.
• Copying your recordings
You should burn recordings that you want to save permanently on DVD or copy them on an external USB hard disc. Afterwards, you can delete the recording from the archive.
- Copying recordings, which originate from a CI Plus encoded station, is perhaps not possible or only to a limited extent (see page 107).
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 disc file system and hence loss of the recorded broadcasts. Always first switch your TV set to standby mode (press On/Off button on the remote control or switch-off button in the middle of the operating eye on the TV set), before switching off at the mains switch. Do not disconnect the USB storage device ^12 from the TV set under any circumstances whilst it is being recorded onto or whilst it is being copied onto.
However, if unexpected problems occur when operating the hard disc, formatting the hard disc may rectify this. Refer to the instructions on page 105. Also follow the information for formatting on page 105 when using an external USB disc
^(1) only for TV sets with DR ^+ .

Digital Recorder
DR+ Streaming
You can make your DR archive entries accessible so that other Loewe TV sets can view them via the network. It is also possible to interrupt a current broadcast and "take it" to another TV set (Follow me function, see page 104).
To use DR+Streaming, at least two Loewe TV sets are required with SL 1xx chassis (at least one of which has an integrated Digital Recorder). The TV sets also need to be connected via a wireless connection (WLAN) or a cable connection (e.g. Ethernet, PowerLine).
DR Streaming must be activated in the DR+ Streaming settings (see below).
Archive entries can only be hosted or permitted to be viewed by TV sets with an integrated hard disc (DR+). Playback of archive entries that have been permitted to be viewed can take place on all TV sets with Chassis SL1xx (with or without DR+) on the network.
The following functions would require write access on the device that is permitting the programme to be viewed, and are therefore not available when viewing a DR archive entry over the network (see right column): child protection, delete protection, rename function, delete entry or bookmark, set bookmark, partial delete or hide of the recording.
DR+ Streaming settings
Prior to the first use of DR+ Streaming, a number of settings are required.

▶ Select Settings,
▼ switch to the menu line below.
Select Miscellaneous,
▼ switch to the menu line below.
▶ Select Check integrated hard disk, OK activate.
After the check, a message will appear on the screen showing the results of the check and tips on how to resolve any problems that are present, should there be any.
After the check, the TV set must be re-started.
Or:
END: Cancel the operation.
If problems were detected when the hard disc was being tested (see left column), re-formatting may be able to remedy the problem. Additionally, you can re-format the hard disc in order to quickly and easily delete all the data stored on it.
Attention!
Formatting of the hard disk deletes all the data saved on it!
Select Settings,
▼ switch to the menu line below.
▶ Select Miscellaneous,
▼ switch to the menu line below.
Select Format integrated hard disk ^(1) or Format external hard disk,
OK activate.
→ After the formatting, the TV set must be re-started.
Or:
END: Cancel the operation.
The TV set uses the hard disc file system FAT32. The file system NTFS is not supported. PCs with the operating system Microsoft Windows only support a total hard disc volume of 32GB when formatting on FAT32. Larger hard discs are automatically reduced in their capacity by this. Format external USB discs that you wish to use with the TV set as described above.
Digital Recorder
VPSandautomatictimecontrol
Your TV set can use the supporting technologies VPS (Video Programming System) and automatic time control for recording a broadcast.
VPS serves for monitoring the start and end time of the broadcast with analogue stations. The VPS time indication is compared by the digital recorder with the start time programmed by the user. If both times correspond the recording is started. However, VPS is not supported by all stations.
The automatic time control assumes the corresponding monitoring of the start and end time for DVB stations. The recording is started at the beginning of the broadcast and switched off at the end, even if the start and/or end time have been changed by the programme provider. Broadcast interruptions are also taken into account. However, the automatic time control is not supported by all stations.
DVB Common Interface standard (CI)
If a programme has been recorded coded, the decoding process is carried out automatically the next night in the standby mode (when timer data settings do not differ). Please note that the TV set may not be switched off at the mains overnight and that the CA module with SmartCard must be inserted in the CI slot of the TV set.
If the recording is not decoded fairly soon after decoding, it may not be possible to decode it at all. The longer the time between recording and decoding, the greater the probability that the code is no longer valid.
→ Scrambled hard disc recordings appear in the timer list until they are descrambled (page 91).
You can also start decoding manually (see page 99).
Your programme provider may not support later (time offset) descrambling.
You can have programmes from scrambled stations descrambled already in DR continuous mode. This saves you having to decode directly recorded scrambled programmes later. An appropriate CA module with SmartCard must be inserted in the TV set's CI slot for this.
The playback of encrypted programmes is strongly dependent on which CA module is used. The playback of encrypted recordings may sometimes not be possible, or only to a limited extent.
Hint: When possible, record unencrypted programmes or unencrypt them as soon as possible.
Selection possibilities in the CA module menu and performance capability of your CA module depend on the type of module used and the installed software. Consult the manufacturer of the module if you have any questions.
Digital Recorder
DVB Common Interface Plus standard (CI Plus)
CI Plus is an advanced development of the DVB Common Interface Standard. CI Plus slots are in principle downward compatible to the previous CI standard, i.e. CA modules and Smart Cards according to the past CI standard can continue to be used in CI Plus slots, as far as the programme provider permits this.
The regulations of the past standards (see page 27) likewise apply to CI Plus. There are however further additional regulations.
Programme providers, who use the CI Plus standard, can assign different rights for their broadcast programmes. For instance, the programme provider can restrict or completely prevent recording or later watching of an encoded programme. If there are such regulations, these also apply to time-shifted watching of television programmes.
A screen message informs you of this fact, if you would like to record such a programme. Recording is carried out in such a case (an appropriate entry is displayed in the DR archive), later watching of the programme is however not possible at all or only for a limited period (e.g. 10 days).
A possible time limitation of the playback will also appear in the corresponding entry in the DR archive.
The provider can also prohibit later decoding of a recorded encoded programme.
All restrictions mentioned here are the responsibilities of the broadcaster. The TV simply values the broadcaster set signalling as neutral.
Furthermore, the programme provider can prevent external copying of protected programmes, e.g. on a DVD recorder (also after possible decoding).
It could be necessary to enter the parental protection PIN of the CA module when programming the data, if you want to record a CI Plus protected programme, which has been protected against viewing by minors. The secret number of the TV set is required for watching the programme later.
The appearance of the CA module menu of CI Plus can deviate from the normal appearance of the TV menu.
Software update for CI Plus capable CA modules
Every now and then, there will be new system software for your CA module software. There are two software update types.
Recommended update:
Information on an available update is displayed. You can either run this or cancel the procedure. If you do not install the update, the information will reappear in regular intervals until the update has been installed.
Forced update:
Information on an available update is displayed. The module does not decode any more until the update has been successfully implemented.
Troubleshooting (CA module)
The following information can help, if problems should occur when running a CA module:
Switch the TV set off to the standby mode. Remove the CA module from the TV set. Switch the TV set off completely. Wait a few seconds. Reinsert the CA module. Switch the TV set on again.
If errors continue to occur, make a note of the displayed two-digit error code (only for CI Plus capable CA modules). Contact your technical customer service. You will find the service addresses on page 154.

For selecting the amplifier type and making other settings, see explanations of the setting possibilities (left hand column).
External devices
In order to be able to hear the digital sound of an external device connected to an AV input, an AV input can be assigned to the digital audio input socket AUDIO DIGITAL IN. By switching to this AV input, the digital audio signal at the AUDIO DIGITAL IN input is communicated to the integral digital multi-channel audio decoder and the digital audio output socket AUDIO DIGITAL OUT. You will then hear the digital sound of the assigned AV input instead of the analogue sound if available.
For the digital audio playback from an external device, e.g. the DVD player, you have to feed the digital audio signal to the TV set.
The external digital audio signal can be reproduced via the digital multi-channel audio decoder integrated in the TV set, via an externally connected digital audio amplifier or via a Loewe Individual Sound Projector SL ^[1] .
If an external audio amplifier or Loewe Individual Sound Projector is used, this must be registered in the sound components wizard (see page 120).
Select Connections,

◀ ▶ Select AV input.
To connect a DVD player to the digital audio input of the TV set for example, connect the digital output socket of the DVD player (DIGITAL OUT) via a cinch cable to the AUDIO DIGITAL IN socket on the TV set.
Connection example for a DVD player, see right hand column.
Audio connection in HDMI/DVI devices
External devices with DVI connection
If an external device with DVI interface is connected via a HDMI/DVI adapter to one of the HDMI sockets of the TV set, you can connect the digital sound of the external device to the digital audio input socket AUDIO DIGITAL IN.
The assignment of the digital audio input to the corresponding HDMI socket of the TV set takes place as described in the column on the left. If you want to use the analogue sound of the external device, connect it to the AUDIO IN socket.
External devices with HDMI connection
If external devices with an HDMI interface are connected to one of the HDMI sockets of the TV set, no assignment of the audio input is necessary because the digital transmission of picture and sound takes place via a single connection in HDMI.
Serial interface RS-232C (RJ12)
You can connect either the Loewe Individual Sound Projector SL or a home network system of different manufacturers (e.g. AMX, Crestron) to your TV set via the upgradable RS-232C (RJ12) interface.
Please consult your dealer for configuration of the RS-232C (RJ12) interface and further information about the different home networking systems.

Timer recording with external devices
The recording of HDTV stations with external devices is only possible to a limited degree. The HD transmission is scaled down to SD quality and output at the AV output for the recording.
Recorder with Digital Link Plus
If you use an externally connected recorder with Digital Link Plus or a similar system, the TV set and connected recorder exchange data (e.g. compare station lists TV set/recorder or timer data of analogue stations). Please consult the operating manual of your recorder to find out of your recorder is Digital Link Plus compatible. In addition use only Euro-AV cables for the connection between TV set and recorder.
Analogue stations
The timer data are transmitted automatically from the TV set to the recorder after programming is complete. (For DVD recorders in addition the recording quality SQ or EQ is also transmitted.) The recording is then controlled by the recorder and the recorder tuner is used for reception of the programme.
The recording data are not saved in the timer overview of the TV set. Consequently if you want to change or delete the timer data then you must do so on the recorder.
Digital stations
If you want to record digital stations with an externally connected recorder, then the DVB tuner is used and the TV device takes over control of the recorder. Then the station on the TV set is locked during the timer recording.
It is not possible to switch over to another DVB station.
If using devices with DVB-T/C Twin-Tuner (Equipment variants see page 140), analogue stations can be viewed on the TV set parallel to the recording with the external device.
Copyprotection
Copy-protected programmes will not be output on the EURO AV sockets for legal reasons.

Energy consumption
Your TV set is equipped with an eco-standby power supply. In the standby mode, the power consumption drops to low power (see Technical data on page 134). 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 via the TV set.
The power consumed by the TV set during operation depends on the energy efficiency preset in the initial installation (see page 22) or the setting in the TV menu (see page 34).
If you activate the automatic dimming (see page 34), your TV picture will adapt to the ambient brightness. This reduces the power consumption of the TV set.
