A ombination antenna
receives normal
broadcast channels (VHF
2-13 and UHF 14-69).
Your connection is easy
since there is only one
75_ (ohm) antenna plug
on the back of your TV-
and that's where the anten-
na goes.
your antenna has a
round cable (75 ohm) on the
end, then you're ready to con-
nect 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.
Combination VHF/UHF Antenna
(Outdoor or Indoor)
_Push the round end of the
adapter (or antenna) onto the
ANTENNA plug on the rear of
the TV. If the round end of the
antenna wire is threaded, screw
it down tight.

Programming * The procedure of adding or deleting channel num-
bers into the Television's memory circuits. In this way the Television
"remembers" only the locally available or desired channel numbers
and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.

Television control panel through which infrared remote control com-
mand signals are received.
Status * Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel number is currently being viewed.
Status can also be used to clear the Television of on screen displays or information (rather than
waiting for the displays to "time out" or automatically disappear from the screen).
Twin Lead Wire * The more commonly used name for the two strand 300 Ohm antenna wire
used with many indoor and outdoor antenna systems. In many cases this type of antenna wire
requires an additional adapter (or balun) in order to connect to the 75 Ohm Input terminals.
