A combination antenna receives

normal broadcast channels

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

:onnection is easy since there is
only one 75_ (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

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