below. (You may already have one on your TV.)

from where it comes in on the wall.
2. Considering the three pictures below, determine which adapter you will need to hook it into
your VCR.

Single 300 ohm flat wire
Separate UHF and VHF
antenna wires, both 300 ohm flat wire

If you have "rabbit ears" (an antenna on top of your TV), you will need an additional adapter
and 75 ohm extension to make your leads reach from the antenna to the VCR. This connection
will work only if you have a strong, clear picture on the TV, indicating a strong signal. Connect
the antenna to the adapter, and use the cable extension to go from the adapter to the VCR.
Use the supplied 75 ohm cable to connect the VCR to the TV.
