Antennas with 300 Ω Flat Twin Leads

If you are using an off-air antenna (such as a roof antenna or ‘rabbit ears’) that has 300 Ω twin flat leads, follow the directions below.

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

2.Plug the adaptor into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.

Antennas with 75 Ω Round Leads

Plug the antenna lead into the ANT IN terminal on the back of the TV.

Separate VHF and UHF Antennas

If you have two separate antennas for your TV (one VHF and one UHF), you must combine the two antenna signals before connecting the antennas to the TV. This procedure requires an optional combiner-adaptor (available at most electronics shops).

1.Connect both antenna leads to the combiner.

2.Plug the combiner into the ANT IN terminal on the bottom of the rear panel.
