A combination antenna receives normal broadcast chan-
nels (VHF 2–13 and UHF 14–69). Your connection is
easy because there is only one 75 Ω (ohm) antenna plug on
the back of your TV, and that’s where the antenna goes.
1 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.
2 Push the round end of the adapter (or antenna) onto the
75 Ω (ohm) plug on the bottom of the TV. If the round end
of the antenna wire is threaded, screw it down finger tight.
