Antenna Connections

Antennas

•The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black & white television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended.

The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna systems:

1.A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (not supplied).

2.A 300-ohm system is a flat “twin-lead” cable that can be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm ADAPTOR (not supplied).

F-type connector

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat)

OUTDOOR ANTENNA CONNECTION

•Refer to one of the following two diagrams when connecting to an outdoor antenna.

A:Using a VHF/UHF combination outdoor antenna.

B:Using separate VHF and/or UHF outdoor antenna.

•Connect an outdoor antenna cable lead-in to the ANT/CABLE terminal on the rear of the TV set.

A. Combination VHF/UHF Antennas

B. Separate VHF/UHF Antenna
