Hooking Up Your TV (Antenna/Cable Connections)
Antenna
Combination UHF/VHF
A combination antenna
receives normal broadcast
channels (VHF 2-13 and UHF
14-69). Your connection is easy
since there is only one 75Q
(ohm) antenna jack on the
back of your TV - and that’s
where the antenna goes.
If your antenna has a
round connector (75Q),
then you're ready to connect it
to the TV
If your antenna has flat
twin-lead wire (300£2), you
first need to attach the antenna
wires to the screws on a 300
to 75Q adaptor.
<p Push the round end of
the adaptor (or cable) onto
Y 'ou may have two separate
antennas. One antenna is for
VHF channels (2-13) and the
other antenna is for UHF chan¬
nels (14-69).
For homes with separate
UHF/VHF antennas, you will
need an optional combiner
before you can connect the
antennas to the TV.
^^^^Attach the separate
UHF and VHF antennas to
the correct screws on the
combiner.

Push the round end of the
combiner onto the ANT(enna)
