If your antenna has a

round cable (75 ohm) on the
end, then you're ready to con-
nect 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 fin-
ger tight.
