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
75
Ω
(ohm) plug on the back of
the TV. If the round end of the
antenna wire is threaded, screw
it down tightly.
