A combination antenna receives
normal broadcast channels
VHF 2-13 and UHF 14-69). Your
:onnection is easy since there is
only one 751_ (ohm) antenna plug
on the back of your TV -and
that's where the antenna goes.
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
a,.tachthe antenna wires to the screws
ion a 300 to 75 ohm adapter.
_Push the round end of tbe
iadapter (or antenna) onto the
ANTENNA/CABLE plug on the rear
of tbe TV. If the round end of tbe

need an optional "combiner"
before you can connect to the TV.
