irst let's connect your Antenna
Lor Cable 7V signal to your TV.
This will be easy since there is only
_ne 75_2 antenna plug on the back
_f" your TV .and that's where the
antenna goes.
_ IF your anlLenna (or CABLE TV
signal) has a round cable (75 ohm)
with a metal prong (F-connector)
on the end, then you're ready to
connect it to the TV.
IF your antenna has flat twin-lead
wire (300ohm), you first need to
_ttach the antenna wires to the
screws on a 300 to 75 ohm adapter.
€;_ Push the round end of the
adapter (or cable) onto the
ANTENNA plug on the rear of the
TV. If the round end of the cable
connector is threaded, screw it
down tight.
Try it out. Press POWER to
turn the TV ON. Press the
CHANNEL LIPbutton. You
should see local channels flash by.
Certain channel numbers have been
added to the qW's memory at the
factory. To set the TV to select
only the channel numbers in your
area, see page 11.
,_l_ Remember. If the TV is
connected to a Cable TV
(CATV) signal, be sure to set the
'IV for that type signal (see page
10.)
