Connect the Aerial Cable to the RF In Terminal

To obtain optimum quality picture and sound, an Aerial, the correct cable {75 Ohm coaxial) and the correct terminating plug are required.

Your local Authorised Service Centre or Dealer may be able to assist you in obtaining the correct Aerial system for your particular area and any accessories required.

Any matters regarding Aerial installation, upgrading of existing systems or accessories required, and the costs incurred, are the responsibility of you, the Customer.

If a communal Aerial system is used, you may require the correct connection cable and plug between the wall Aerial socket and your television receiver.
