irst let's connect your Antenna

This will be easy since there is only
one 75_ antenna plug on the back
, of your TV - and that's where the
antenna goes.
I_IF your antenna (or CABLE TV

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

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 memory at the
factory. To set the TV to select
only the channel numbers in your
