Installing the TV
Refer to the owner’s manual of any external equipment to be connected.
When connecting any external equipment, do not connect any AC power cords to wall outlets
until all other connections are completed.
Antenna Connection
The antenna requirements for good color TV reception are more important than those for a black &
white TV reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended.
The following is a brief explanation of the type of connection that is provided with the various antenna
systems.
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)
F-type connector
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)
■ A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable (not included) with F-
type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without
tools.
■ A 300-ohm system is a flat twin-lead cable (not included) that can
be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300-75-ohm adapter
(not included).
