Antennas

To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of connections that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector, plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the TV set.

1.A 75-ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (Commercially available).

75-ohm coaxial cable (round)

2.A 300-ohm system is a fl at “twin-lead” cable that can be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm adapter (Commercially available).

F-type connector should be finger- NOTICE tightened only.

When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not tighten F-type connector with tools.

If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV set. (The breaking of internal circuit, etc.)
