HOOKING UP YOUR TV
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) antenna jack on the
back of your TV - and that’s
where the antenna goes.

To set the
TV to select only
the channel numbers in your area,
see Auto Install

A second antenna
hole is provided at
the bottom left corner of the back of
the TV. This hole
may be useful if the
TV is mounted
beneath a cabinet or
in a similar location.

HELP
If you install a rod
antenna (supplied), push the
base of the antenna into the
antenna hole.
If your antenna has a
round connector (75Ω),
then you're ready to connect it
to the TV. Go to step 2.
If your antenna has flat
twin-lead wire (300Ω), you
first need to attach the antenna
wires to the screws on a 300
to 75Ω adapter (not supplied).
Push the round end of
the adapter (or cable or
rod antenna) onto the
ANT(enna) IN jack on the
back of the TV. If the round
end of the adapter or cable is
threaded, screw it down tight.
Y
ou may have two 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 the
antennas to the TV.

If you have a Cable Box:
Connect the Cable TV signal
