2-13 and UHF 14-69).

Your connection is easy since there is only one

BEGIN

If your antenna has a

round cable (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.

Combination VHF/UHF Antenna

(Outdoor or Indoor)

Push the round end of the adapter (or antenna) onto the

Display * An on screen message or graphics that help the user operate and adjust his Television feature controls. See On Screen Displays (OSD).

Jack Panel * Refers to the area on the back of the TV cabinet where the input and output connections are located.

On Screen Displays (OSD) * Refers to the wording or messages generated by the television (or VCR) to help the user with specific feature controls (color adjustment, programming, etc.).

Menu * An on-screen listing of feature controls shown on the Television screen that are made available for user adjustments.

Programming * The procedure of adding or deleting channel numbers into the

Television’s memory circuits. In this way the Television “remembers’’ only the locally available or desired channel numbers and skips over any unwanted channel numbers.

Remote Sensor Window * A window or opening found on the Television control panel through which infrared remote control command signals are received.

Status * Allows the user to quickly confirm what channel number is currently being viewed. Status can also be used to clear the Television of on screen displays or information (rather than waiting for the displays to “time out” or automatically disappear from the screen).

Twin Lead Wire * The more commonly used name for the two strand 300 Ohm antenna wire used with many indoor and outdoor antenna systems. In many cases this type of antenna wire requires an additional adapter (or balun) in order to connect to the 75 Ohm Input terminals designed into the more recent Televisions and VCRs.

Volume Bar * When in the ON position, this feature displays an on-screen display of the TV’s volume setting.
