A combination antenna receives

normal broadcast channels

VHF 2-13 and UHF 14-69). Your

:onnection is easy since there is
only one 751_ (ohm) antenna plug
on the back of your TV - and
that's where the antenna goes.

If your antenna has a round
cable (75 ohm) on the end, then
you're ready to connect it to the TV.

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

a,.tachthe antenna wires to the screws

ion a 300 to 75 ohm adapter.

_ Push the round end of tbe
iadapter (or antenna) onto the

ANTENNA/CABLE plug on the rear
of tbe TV. If the round end of tbe

iantenna wire is threaded, screw it

down tight.

need an optional "combiner"
before you can connect to the TV.
