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