Watching TV
Simple operations for watching a TV program
Toenjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of connections
that are used for a coaxial cable. Ifyour outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F4ype connector,
pJug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the TV,
,, The antenna and the cable converter cannot be connected at the same time,
1. A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type
connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without
tools (Commercially available).
2. A 300-ohm system is a flat 'twin-lead" cable that can be
attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm
adapter (Commercially available).
F-type connector
75-ohm coaxial cable (round)
300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)
