Separate VHF and UHF Antennas
If you have two separate antennas for your TV (one VHF and one UHF), you must combine the two antenna signals
before connecting the antennas to the TV. This procedure requires an optional combiner-adaptor (available at most
electronics shops).
Connect both antenna leads to the combiner.

Plug the combiner into the VHF/UHF terminal on the bottom
2
of the rear panel.
