Connections
Connecting to an antenna
To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of
the types of connections that are used for coaxial and feeder cables.
If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with a standard
DIN45325 plug (IEC 169-2), plug it into the antenna jack at the rear of
the set.
If your outdoor antenna uses a 300-ohm twin-lead flat feeder, connect a
300-ohm to 75-ohm impedance converter and plug it into the antenna
jack at the rear of the set.
