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 twin-lead
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
75Ω plug on the rear of the TV.
If the round end of the antenna
wire is threaded, screw it down
tight.
