our Cable TV input into your home may be a single (75 ohm) cable, or a
Converter Box installation.
In either case the connection to the TV is very easy.
Just put the threaded end of the cable signal to the
TV's antenna plug and screw it down tight.
BEGIN
If your Cable TV signal
is a single round cable (75 ohm) then you're ready to connect to the TV.
If you have a Cable
Converter Box:
Connect the Cable TV signal to the Cable Signal IN(put) plug on the Converter.
NOTE: The connecting cable for the Converter is supplied from the Cable TV Company.

Set the TV for the type signal you've just connected (see the “Tuner” section on page 3 of this
Set-Up Guide.)

combination antenna receives normal broadcast channels (VHF 2-13 and UHF 14-69). Your connection is easy since there is only one 75
Ω
(ohm) antenna plug on the back of your TV - and that’s where the antenna goes.
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.
