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.
Push the round end of the
adapter (or antenna) onto the 75
Ω
plug on the rear of the TV. If
the round end of the antenna
wire is threaded, screw it down
tight.
