A ombination antenna receives
normal broadcast channels
i(VHF 2-13 and UHF 14-69). Your
connection is easy since there is
only one 75C2 (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 fiat twin-lead
wire (300 ohm), you first need to
attach the antenna wires to the screws
on a 300 to 75 ohm adapter.
P,_ the round the
Push end of
adapter (or antenna) onto the
ANTENNA/CABLE plug on the rear
of the TV. If the round end of the
antenna wire is threaded, screw it
down tight.
