It is strongly recommended to connect the antenna using a 75-ohm coaxial cable

 

to get optimum picture quality. A 300-ohm twin lead cable can be easily affected

 

by radio noise and the like, resulting in signal deterioration. If you use a 300-ohm

 

twin lead cable, keep it away as far as possible from the LCD projection TV.
