combination (outdoor or indoor) antenna receives normal broadcast channels 2-13 (VHF) and

14-69 (UHF). Your connection to such an antenna is easy since there is only one antenna plug (75

Ω

ohm) on the back of your

TV - and that’s where the antenna goes.

BEGIN

If your antenna has a round cable connector (75 ohm) on the end, then you're ready to connect 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.
