cast channels (VHF 2–13

HELP

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

plug on the

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