nected to this input for

A typical ANT(enna)
A and B connection (using a
common signal source and an
optional Signal Splitter):
If yourAntenna or Cable TV
signal has a round cable con-
nector (75 ohm) on the end,
then you're ready to connect it
to the 75ohm Signal Splitter.
If your antenna has flat twin-
lead wire (300 ohm), you first
need to attach the antenna wires
to the screws on a 300 to 75
ohm adapter before connecting
to the 75ohm Signal Splitter.

Connect yourAntenna or
Cable TV signal to the single
75 ohm input plug on the two-
way Signal Splitter (optional).
Then connect two lengths of RF
Coaxial Cable to the two Output
plugs on the two-way Signal
Splitter (F-type connector on
both ends).

Connect the twin Output
plugs on the Signal Splitter to
the ANTA and ANTB inputs
on the rear of the TV. Push the
round connector end of the RF
