HOOKING UP THE TELEVISION
A
combination antenna receives normal broadcast chan-
nels (VHF 2–13 and UHF 14–69). Your connection is
easy because there is only one 75 (ohm) antenna plug on
the back of your TV, and that’s where the antenna goes.
1
If your antenna has a round cable (75 ohm) on the end,
then you're ready to connect it to the TV.
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.
2
Push the round end of the adapter (or antenna) onto the
75 (ohm) plug on the bottom of the TV. If the round end
of the antenna wire is threaded, screw it down finger tight.

75 input on the bottom of the television. Screw it down fin-
ger tight.
NOTE: Be sure to set the OUTPUT CHANNEL SWITCH on the
back of the cable box to CH 3 or 4, then tune the cable box on the

nels, including the presently tuned channel.
