HOOKING UP YOUR TV (ANTENNA/CABLE CONNECTIONS)

A

combination antenna

or a rod antenna (sup­plied) receives normal
broadcast channels (VHF
2-13 and UHF 14-69).
Your connection is easy
since there is only one
75Ω (ohm) ANT(enna)
plug on the back of your
TV - and that’s where the
antenna goes.

NTENNA

COMBINATION UHF/VHF

Remember,
be sure to set the
TV for the type sig­nal you've connect­ed (see Channel
Auto Memo, page

4).

To set the TV to
select only the
channel numbers in
your area, see
Channel Auto
Memo on page 4.

HELP

If you install a rod
antenna (supplied), push the
stem of the antenna into the
antenna hole on the right of
the rear of the TV.
If your antenna has a round
cable (75Ω), then you're
ready to connect it to the TV.

If your antenna has flat twin­lead wire (300Ω), you first
need to attach the antenna
wires to the screws on a 300
to 75Ω adaptor.

Push the round end of the
rod antenna, adaptor, or cable
onto the ANT(enna) plug on
the rear of the TV. If the round

end of the adaptor or cable is
threaded, screw it down tight.

Y

ou may have two sepa-

rate 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 the antenna signal to
the TV.
