If your antenna has a

round cable connector

(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.

Push the round end of the

adapter (or antenna) onto the
ANTENNA (ANT “A”) plug on
the rear of the TV.  If the round
end of the antenna wire is
threaded, screw it down tight.
