A ombination antenna
receives normal
broadcast channels (VHF
2-13 and UHF 14-69).
Your connection is easy
since there is only one
75_ (ohm) antenna plug
on the back of your TV-
and that's where the anten-
na goes.
Otwmeof you may have
o separate antennas.
One antenna is for VHF
channels (2-13) and the
other antenna is for UHF
channels (14-69).
For homes with separate
UHF/VHF antennas, you
will need an optional
"combiner" before you can
connect to the T_. See the
"Smart Help" section (to
the right on this page) for
ordering details.
your antenna has a
round cable (75 ohm) on the
end, then you're ready to con-
nect 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.
