_irst let's connect your Antenna
.l_or Cable TV signal to your TV.

This will be easy since there is only
one 75_2 antenna plug on the back
of your TV - and that's where the
antenna goes.

<_IF your antenna (or CABLE TV

signal) has a round cable (75 ohm)
with a metal prong (F-connector)
on the end, then you're ready to

connect it to the TV.

IF your antenna has flat twin-lead
wire (300ohm), you first need to

attach the antenna wires to the
screws on a 300 to 75 ohm adapter.

,_ Push the round end of the

adapter (or cable) onto the
ANTENNA plug on the rear of the
TV. If the round end of the cable
connector is threaded, screw it
down tight.

- Try it out. Press POWER to

turn the TV ON. Press the
CHANNEL UP button. You
should see local channels flash by.

Certain channel numbers have been
added to the TV's memor3, at the

factory. To set the TV to select
only the channel numbers in your
area, see page I 1.

.,,mW-..-_ Remember. If the TV is

connected to a Cable TV

(CA'IV) signal, be sure to set the
TV for that type signal (see page

10.)
