A combination antenna receives normal
broadcast channels (VHF 2-13 and UHF
14-69).Your connection is easy since there is
only one 75
Ω
(ohm) antenna plug on the
back of your TV - and that’s where the anten-
na goes.
1 If your antenna has a round cable
(75 ohm) on the end, then you're ready
to connect it to the TV. Go to step 2.
If your antenna has flat twin-lead
wire (300 ohm), you first need to attach
the antenna wires to the screws on a
300 to 75 ohm adapter (not supplied
with TV).
2 Push the round end of the adapter or
antenna cable onto the 75
Ω
jack on the
rear of the TV. If the round end of the
antenna cable is threaded, screw it down
tight.

Helpful Hints
If no Video Signal is present, the TV will
display a “BLUE” screen and shut itself
off in about 5 minutes. If the TV is tuned
to the AV channel and there is no Video
Signal present, the screen will remain
black and the TV will shut itself off in
about 5 minutes.
