with a metal prong (F-connector)

on the end, then you're ready to

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

<

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.

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

factory. To set the TV to select
