To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of connections
that are used for a coaxial cable. Ifyour outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector,
plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the TV set.
_1.A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type _'
connector that can easily be attached to a terminal
without tools (Commercially available).
