Cables And Connectors; Antenna Connections - Hitachi 50EX12B Operating Manual

HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS
Most video/audio connections between components can
be made with shielded video and audio cables that have
phono connectors. For best performance, video cables
should use 75-ohm coaxial shielded wire. Cables can be
purchased from most stores that sell audio/video prod-
ucts. Below are illustrations and names of common con-
nectors.
Before purchasing any cables, be sure of the output and
input connector types required by the various compo-
nents. Also make sure the cables are the correct length.
300-Ohm Twin Lead Connector
This outdoor antenna cable must be connected to an
antenna adaptor (300-Ohm to 75-Ohm).
"F" Type 75-Ohm Coaxial Antenna Connector
For connecting RF signals (antenna or cable TV) to the
antenna jack on the television.
