CHAPTER TWO INSTALLATION

Connecting VHF and

UHF Antennas

If you do not have cable TV, you must connect an antenna to your TV/VCR. First you need to identify your antenna’s lead type:

•If you are using the antenna that has 300-ohm twin flat leads, (see the illustration below) see “Antennas With 300-ohm Flat Twin Leads,”on this page.

•If your antenna has a 75-ohm round lead (see the illustration below), see “Antennas With 75-ohm Round Leads,” on this page.

•If you have two antennas, see “Separate VHF and UHF Antennas,” on this page.

Antennas With 300-ohm Flat Twin Leads

If you use a different 300-ohm antenna with twin flat leads, follow the directions below, but skip step 1.

1Push the stem of the rod antenna into the antenna mount.

2Place the wires from the twin leads under the screws on the 300-75 ohm adapter (not supplied). Use a screwdriver to tighten the screws.

3Plug the adapter into the terminal on the rear panel of the TV/VCR.

Extend the antenna and adjust it for the clearest picture.To reduce the risk of damage, only adjust the antenna by moving the black plastic base.

Antennas With 75-ohm Round Leads

1Plug the lead into the terminal on the rear panel of the TV/VCR.

Separate VHF and UHF Antennas

If you have two separate anten- nas for your TV/VCR (one VHF and one UHF), you must combine the two antenna signals before connecting them to the TV/VCR. This procedure requires a com- biner attachment that you can purchase at an electronics store.
