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.

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.
