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
Ω
(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
Ω
(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 outlet
and turn the TV
on. Refer to the TUNER and AUTOPROGRAM features
within the
Directions for Use
. TUNER should be set to the
ANTENNA option. AUTOPROGRAM can be set to program
all the available channels on your antenna signal into the tele-
vision’s memory.
