Basic Antenna Connection - RCA 20V500T User Manual

A combination antenna receives normal broadcast channels (VHF 2-13 and UHF 14-69). Your connection is easy since you will connect
the antenna to the 75OHM ANTENNA INPUT jack on the rear of the TV.
1
If your antenna has a round cable (75ohm) on the end, then you are ready to connect it to the TV. Go to the next step. If your
antenna has flat twin-lead wire (300ohm), you first need to attach the antenna wires to the screws on a 300 to 75ohm adapter
(not supplied with TV).
2
Push the round end of the adapter or antenna cable onto the 75OHM ANTENNA INPUT jack on the rear of the TV. If the round end
of the antenna cable is threaded, screw it down tight.
3
Plug the TV's power cord into a power outlet and turn on the TV. Set TV/CATV to TV mode as detailed on page 11. Refer to AUTO
SEARCH to set up your available TV channels. Details are on page 12.
Before plugging the UHF/VHF Rod Antenna into the
ANTENNA IN jack, check that the pin is not bent. If
it is bent, straighten the pin as illustrated, then plug
the pin into the ANTENNA IN jack.
