Connecting Antenna—Continued

■ Using the 75/300-ohm Antenna Adapter ■ Using a TV/FM Antenna Splitter

The 75/300-ohm Antenna Adapter is not supplied with American and European models.

The 75/300-ohm antenna adapter can be used to connect an FM antenna using either 75-ohm coaxial cable or 300-ohm twin-core flat cable.

■Connecting 300-ohm Flat Cable

1	Using a screwdriver, loosen the
	two screws on the adapter, wrap
	the bare wires around the
	screws, and then retighten them,
	as shown.
2	Plug the adapter into the 75 Ω socket.

■Connecting 75-ohm Coaxial Cable

1	Strip and prepare the

Make sure the shielding is not touching the central conductor.

5 Refit the adapter’s cover, and then plug the adapter into the 75 Ω socket.

It’s best not to use the same antenna for both FM and TV reception, as this can cause interference problems. If cir- cumstances demand it, use a TV/FM antenna splitter, as shown.
