Connecting an antenna
Optimum reception of color requires a good
signal and will generally mean that an outdoor
antenna must be used.
The exact type and positioning of the antenna
will depend upon your particular area.
Your Toshiba dealer or service personnel can
best advise you on which antenna to use in your
area.
Before connecting the antenna cable, turn off all
main power switches.
