• If you have a combination VHF/
UHF antenna and the antenna
uses 300-ohm flat wire, connect
the flat wire to the screw terminals
on the supplied 300-to-75 ohm
adapter. Then connect the
adapter to the TV’s
VHF/UHF (75
Ω
)
terminal.
• If you have separate VHF and
UHF antennas, use a VHF/UHF
combiner (not supplied) to com-
bine the VHF and UHF signals.
Then connect the combiner’s 75-
ohm connector to the TV’s
VHF/
UHF (75
Ω
) terminal.
CONNECTING CABLE TV
If you subscribe to a cable TV service,
connect the cable company’s 75-ohm
coaxial cable directly to the TV’s
VHF/
UHF (75
Ω
) terminal.
If you use a cable box, connect the
box’s output to the TV’s
VHF/UHF (75
Ω
)
terminal.
Set the TV to the same channel as the
box’s output (Channel 3 or 4) and use
the box to select channels.
Note to CATV System Installer: This
reminder is provided to call the CATV

practical.
You can listen to your TV by connect-
ing an earphone to the TV’s
EAR-
PHONE jack, or by connecting the TV’s
AUDIO IN/VIDEO IN jack s to a home
