AERIAL CONNECTION

AAeerriiaall CCoonnnneeccttiioonn............

First select the antenna. The following antennas are
suitable for your TV set.

* VHF antenna
* VHF / UHF combined antenna
* UHF antenna

When connecting one of these aerial to your TV set,
you should use 75 Ohm round “coaxial” cable and
unplug your TV set

Plug the external aerial in the aerial socket as show
oposite. An indoor aerial is not recommended. As
motor vehicles emulate energy and communication
lines emulate noise signals, please take care to install
your antenna far from these and metal surfaces. Do not
extend your aerial cable longer than required or roll it.
As the aerial and cable may be impaired by prolonged
exposure to rain, wind and smoke, we recommend that
they are periodically checked by a professional aerial
fitter. A poor aerial or cable often results by a "snowy"
picture.
