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, then
you're ready to connect 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.
,_ 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
me of you may have two sep-
rate antennas. One antenna
is for VHF channels (2-13) and
the other antenna is for UHF
channels (14-8t3).
For homes with separate
UHF/VtJF antennas, you will
need an optional "combiner"
before you can connect to the TV.
See the "Smart Help" section (to
the right on this page)for order-
ing details.

antennas to the correct screws

anything abrasive). Wipe the front screen with a clean cloth dampened with water. Use even, easy, vertical strokes when
cleaning.
• Gently wipe the cabinet surfaces with a clean cloth or sponge dampened in a solution of cool clear water. Use a clean
dry cloth to dry the wiped surfaces.
•Occasionally vacuum the ventilation holes or slots in the cabinet back.
•Never use thinners, insecticide sprays, or other chemicals on or near the cabinet, as they might cause permanent marring
of the cabinet finish.

Round Cable 75£Z* A single solid antenna wire normally
matched with a metal plug (F-type) end connector that screws (or
pushes) directly onto a 75 Ohm input found on the Television or
VCR. (Also known as Coaxial Cable.)
Closed Caption * Broadcast standard which allows you to read
the voice content of television programs on the TV screen.
Designed to help the hearing impaired this feature uses on-screen
"text boxes" to show dialogue and conversations while the "IV pro-
grain is in progress.
Audio/Video Inputs * Located on the rearof the TV these con-
nectors (RCA phono type plug) are used for the input of audio
and video signals. Designed for use with VCRs (or other acces-
sories) in order to receive higher picture resolution and offer sound
connection options.
On Screen Displays (OSD) * Refers to the wording or messages
generated by the television (or VCR) to help the user with specific
fea_turecontrols (color adjustment, programming, etc.).
Menu * An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the
Television screen that are made available for user adjustments.
Multichannd Television Sound (MTS) * The broadcast standard
that allows for stereo sound to be transmitted with the TV picture.
Programming * The procedure of adding or deleting channel
numbers 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 numbe_.
Remote Sensor Window *A window or opening found on the
Television control panel through which infrared remote control
command signals are received.
Setup Mode * Automatic feature control settings made by the TV.
Designed for first time set-up and use. Settings for signal connec-

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

Input terminals designed into the more recent Televisions and
VCRs.
