ANTENNA TV

Acombination antenna receives normal broadcast chan- nels (VHF 2–13 and UHF 14–69). Your connection is easy because there is only one 75Ω (ohm) antenna plug on

the back of your TV, and that’s where the antenna goes.

1 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.

2 Push the round end of the adapter (or antenna) onto the 75Ω (ohm) plug on the back of the TV. If the round end of the antenna wire is threaded, screw it down finger tight.

3 Plug the television in to the wall outlet and turn the TV on. Refer to the TUNER and AUTO PROGRAM features on page 3 of this Quick Use Guide. TUNER should be set to the ANTENNA option. AUTO PROGRAM can be set to program all the available channels on your cable signal into the televi- sion’s memory.
