HOOKING UP YOUR TV (ANTENNA/CABLE CONNECTIONS) ANTENNA COMBINATION UHF/VHF Acombination antenna receives normal broadcast channels (VHF 2-13 and UHF 14-69). Your connection is easy since there is only one 75Ω (ohm) antenna jack on the back of your TV - and that's where the antenna goes. If your antenna has a round connector (75Ω), then you're ready to connect it to the TV. Go to step 2. If your antenna has flat twin-lead wire (300Ω), you first need to attach the antenna wires to the screws on a 300 to 75Ω adaptor (not supplied). Push the round end of the adaptor (or cable) onto the ANT(enna) IN jack on the back of the TV. If the round end of the adaptor or cable is threaded, screw it down tight. SMART HELP To set the TV to select only the channel numbers in your area, see Auto Install (page 3).
