Option 1

1Connect one end of a TV coaxial cable (not included) to your antenna outlet. Connect the other end to a VHF/UHF RF combiner/transformer (optional).

2Connect a second TV coaxial cable (not included) from the combiner/ transformer to the VHF/UHF port on the back panel of the VGX-XL3 Computer.

Option 2

1Connect both ends of the antenna’s twin lead cable to the screw-type grips on the combiner/transformer.

2Connect the TV coaxial cable (not included) from the combiner/transformer to the VHF/UHF port on the back panel of your computer.

If you are connecting to an indoor/outdoor antenna system, you may need to re-orient the antenna for better reception.
