Welcome

Thank you!

At Loewe, we combine the highest standards of technology, design and 
user friendliness. This applies equally for TV, video and accessories.

Your new TV set is equipped for the TV standard "HDTV" 
(High Definition Television). With its high resolution screen 
and future-safe digital interfaces HDMI (High Definition 
Multimedia Interface), it offers the possibility of present-
ing HDTV programmes in outstanding picture quality. 
HDTV is a worldwide, digital standard in the 16:9 format 
which revolutionises normal TV viewing. It is broadcast 

with an up to five times greater resolution than conven-
tional signals and therefore creates an unexpectedly D 
image.

The TV set is equipped for digital reception. You can use the already 
frequently broadcast "everywhere television" (DVB-T) as well as digital 
cable (DVB-C) and digital satellite reception (DVB-S). 
The Loewe Digital

HD platform even allows dual reception of DVB-T, 

DVB-C and DVB-S.
The TV set is equipped with a Dolby Digital Decoder. You can connect 
a speaker system (e.g. Loewe Individual Sound) or active speakers and 
enjoy movie theater sound.
You can connect a card reader or a USB stick with digital photos to your 
new TV set's USB connection and view your photos via the integrated 
PhotoViewer software.
All the functions can be operated with the Loewe remote control.
We  have  designed  the  TV  set  in  such  a  manner  that  you  can  easily 
operate it with the help of wizards and menus. Information about the 
menu settings is displayed automatically. You will quickly comprehend 
the context.
