Connecting a TV Cable or an Antenna

Antenna Connection

The antenna requirements for good color TV reception are more important than those for a black & white TV reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended. The following is a brief explanation of the type of connection that is provided with the various antenna systems.

■ A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable (not included) with IEC-

type connector that can easily be at tached to a terminal without tools.

IEC-type connector

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

■ A 300-ohm system is a flat twin -lead cable (not included) that can

be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300 -75-ohm adapter (not include d).
