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 fl at "twin-lead" cable that can be
attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm
adapter (Commercially available).
