our Cable TV input into
your home may be a
single (75 ohm) cable or a
converter box installation.
In either case, the connec-
tion 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 tightly.
NOTE: The connecting cable
for the converter is supplied
by the cable TV company.

OMBINATION
A combination antenna
receives normal broad-
cast channels (VHF 2–13
and UHF 14–69). Your con-
nection is easy because
there is only one ANTENNA
IN 75Ω (ohm) plug on the
back of your TV, and that's
where the antenna goes.
