2.2 POWER CONNECTION
2.1 INSTALLATION OF ANTENNA
75 OHM
ANTENNA INPUT
A combination antenna receives normal broadcast channels.Your connection is easy since you will
connect the antenna to the 75 OHM ANTENNA INPUT jack on the rear of the TV.
If your antenna has a round cable (75 ohm) on the end, then you are ready to connect it to the TV.
Go to the next step. 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 (not supplied with your TV).
Plug the round end of the adapter or antenna cable onto the 75 OHM ANTENNA INPUT jack on the
rear of the TV. If the round end of the antenna cable is threaded, screw it down tight.

have these jacks, go to the next step.
If your component has an S-VIDEO jack, connect an S-VIDEO cable to the S-VIDEO jack on the back
of the TV and to the S-VIDEO jack on the component. If your component doesn’t have an S-VIDEO jack,
