Antennas
To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of
the types of connections that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses
a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector, plug it into the antenna terminal at the
rear of the TV set.
A 75-ohm system is generally a round
1.
cable with F-type connector that can
easily be attached to a terminal without
tools (Commercially available).
A 300-ohm system is a
fl
at “twin-lead”
2.
cable that can be attached to a 75-ohm
terminal through a 300/75-ohm adapter
(Commercially available).
When connecting the RF cable to the TV set,
do not tighten F-type connector with tools.
If tools are used, it may cause damage to
your TV set. (The breaking of internal circuit,
etc.)
