5. Getting started

Please refer to the following sections for detailed instructions about connecting the audio/video (AV) device of your

choice to your LCD TV and view your favorite programs or movies. These sections describe the procedure

required to set up your TV for easy and convenient viewing.

5.1 Basic connections

The SAGEM AXIUM

HD-L27 LCD Television provides multiple input and output ports to enable you to connect

different types of A/V devices such as an antenna or cable TV line, a VCR /DVD player, cable or satellite Set Top

Boxes (HDTV compliant), or even a PC (HDTV compliant).

You can also use the LCD TV as a flash memory card reader and view your digital photographs directly on the TV

without requiring a PC connection.

The back panel of the LCD TV provides input and output connectors to make these connections possible. The

following sections discuss the various ports and the type of A/V devices that can be connected to your TV.

Notes:

– Refer to these notes before connecting any audio/video equipment to this TV.

– Refer to the manuals of your stereo amplifier, or other equipment as necessary.

– Disconnect all equipment from the power outlets. Connect the equipment to the power outlets only after you have

completed connecting everything. Never make or change connections with equipment connected to a power outlet.

– Connect a DVD player directly to the TV. For example, do not connect a DVD player to a VCR, and then connect the

VCR to your TV. This type of connection could distort both the picture and the sound. Your VCR might also have a

copy protection system, which could result in a distorted DVD image.

– Set the stereo system to the correct source if your LCD TV is also connected to a stereo system.

– You only need one audio connection and one video connection between your TV and other audio/video equipment

(e.g. DVD player, VCR, Camcorder). This means that you may not use all the connectors on the TV for a basic

installation.

– If you plan to watch TV with VCR off, connect a coaxial cable to the VCR's TUNER IN connector and to the ANT con-

nector on your LCD TV. This allows you to watch channels on the TV normally when the VCR is off.

– The existing connection possibilities determine the picture quality (decreasingly from top level to lowest quality:

Progressive Scan Component Video, Interlaced Component Video, RGB Scart, S-Video and Composite Video). The

selection of your video support should be carefully examined according to the expected quality.
