RCA 24V412T manual Basic Antenna Connection, UHF Antenna Not supplied VHF Antenna Not supplied

Basic Antenna Connection

A combination antenna receives normal broadcast channels (VHF 2-13 AND UHF 14-69). 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).

Push 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.

Plug the TV’s power cord into a power outlet and turn on the TV. Set TV/CATV to TV mode as detailed on page 11. Refer to AUTO SEARCH to set up your available TV channels. Details are on page 12.

Before plugging the UHF/VHF Rod Antenna into the ANTENNA INPUT jack, check that the pin is not bent. If it is bent, straighten the pin as illustrated, then plug the pin into the jack.

Helpful Hints

If you have separate UHF and VHF antennas, you need an optional combiner to connect the antennas to the TV.
