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).
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
adapter (Commercially available).

• Be sure to connect the antenna or the cable converter as follows. Signal reception may fail if improperly connected.

Cable” settings.

• Be sure to remember what kind of connection is made with your TV.
• Shown here is the preferred method of connecting a VCR and CATV Converter to your System if you are in an area with
good signal reception. This way you can view either TV programs or VCR tapes and not be concerned about the position
of the VCR’s TV/VCR switch and you can enjoy stereo tape playback from a stereo VCR.
• While in Standby, no signal is output from ANALOG-A OUT.
