Antennas
To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a b\
rief explanation of the types of connections that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outd\
oor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector, plug it into the antenn\
a terminal at the rear of the TV set.
A 75-ohm system is generally a round 1.cable with F-type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (Commercially available).
A 300-ohm system is a at “twin-lead” 2.cable that can be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm adapter (Commercially available).

When connecting the RF cable to the TV set, do not tighten F-type connector with tools.If tools are used, it may cause damage to your TV set. (The breaking of internal circuit, etc.)
Preparation
Connecting Antenna Cable
Connect the antenna cable to the TV using one of the methods in the illu\
stration as sshown (1,2,3 or 4).
