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 antenna goes.
If your antenna has a round
cable (75 ohm) on the end, _hen
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.
,_ Push the round end of the
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. 0
of you may have two sep-
antennas. One antenna
is for VHF channels (2-13) and
the other antenna is for UHF
channels (14-69).
For homes with separate
UHF/VHF antennas, you will
need an optional "combiner"
before you can connect to the T_.
See the "Smart Help" section (to
the right on this page)for order-
ing details.

separate
Fantennas to the correct screws

biner onto the ANTENNA/CABLE
