combination antenna receives normal broadcast chan-
nels (VHF 2–13 and UHF 14–69). Your connection is
easy because there is only one 75Ω(ohm) antenna plug on
the back of your TV, and that’s where the antenna goes.

If yourantenna has a round cable (75 ohm) on the end,
then you're ready to connect it to the TV.
If yourantenna 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 endof the adapter (or antenna) onto the
75Ω(ohm) plug on the back of the TV. If the round end of
the antenna wire is threaded, screw it down finger tight.
3
Plug the television in to the wall outletand turn the TV
on.
Refer to the TUNER and AUTOPROGRAM features on
page 3 of this Quick Use Guide. TUNER should be set to the
ANTENNAoption. AUTOPROGRAM can be set to program

sion’s memory.
