A

receives normal
broadcast channels (VHF

Your connection is easy
since there is only one
75Ω (ohm) antenna plug
on the back of your TV ­and that’s where the anten­na goes.

Remember,
be sure to set the

SMART

HELP

If your antenna has a

round cable (75 ohm) on the

end, then you're ready to con­nect it to the TV.

If your antenna has flat twin­lead wire (300 ohm), you first

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

Push the round end of the

adapter (or antenna) onto the
ANTENNA/CABLE plug on
the rear of the TV. If the round
end of the antenna wire is
threaded, screw it down tight.

S

ome of you 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 to the TV. See the
"Smart Help" section (to
the right on this page) for
ordering details.
