PREPARATION
CONNECTING ANTENNAS
Built-in Antenna
The built-in telescoping antenna usually
provides good reception of FM, VHF,
and UHF broadcast signals.
Extend the antenna vertically to its full
length for channels 2 to 6 (VHF-LOW)
and 14 to 69 (UHF).
Extend the antenna to a shorter length
for the best reception of channels 7 to
13 (VHF-HIGH).
Outdoor Antenna
For improved reception, you can con-
nect an optional outdoor VHF/UHF an-
tenna to the
ANT IN
jack on the back of
the TV/radio/cassette using these guide-
lines.
• If the outdoor antenna wire is 300-
ohm double lead-in wire, connect
the wire to the TV/radio/cassette’s
ANT IN
jack using a screw terminal
to
