If your antenna has a

round cable (75 ohm) on the

end, then you're ready to connect it
to the TV.
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.

Push the round end of the

adapter (or antenna) onto the
ANTENNA IN 75

Ω

plug on the

back of the TV. If the round
end of the antenna wire is
threaded, screw it down finger
tight.
