round cable(75 ohm) on the end,
then you're ready to connect it to
the TV.

wire (300 ohm), you first need to
attach the antenna wires to the
screws on a 300 to 75 ohm adapter.
Push the round end of the
adapter (or antenna) onto the 75
Ωplug on the rear of the TV. If
the round end of the antenna
wire is threaded, screw it down
tight.
