Connecting an Antenna or Cable to Your TV/VCR Combination

Your TV/VCR Combination will provide you with the best performance if you connect it to an external antenna or cable system. Follow the directions below to make this connection. Please note that you will normally only have to make one of the connections shown below, not all of them.

All connections will be made to the antenna terminal on the back of your TV/VCR Combination. The antenna terminal is a silver metal post partially surrounded by two plastic tabs. For help in locating the antenna terminal, see “Your TV/VCR Combination's Back Panel” on page 5.

There is no antenna provided with your TV/VCR Combination.

Connecting an Antenna

If your antenna ends in a single coaxial lead, simply press or screw the cable onto the antenna terminal on the back of your TV/VCR Combination.

If your antenna ends in a pair of 300 ohm twin leads, you must use a 300-ohm/75-ohm adaptor. (An adaptor is included with your 19” TV/VCR Combination.) Place the leads under- neath the screws on the adaptor, tighten the screws, then press the adaptor onto the antenna terminal on the back of the TV/VCR Combination Combination.
