A Good Antenna Hookup - Zenith SYSTEM 3 Operating Manual

A GOOD ANTENNA HOOKUP
MEANS A BETTER COLOR PICTURE
All television sets will work with either an indoor or an
outdoor antenna. We strongly recommend that you use
an outdoor antenna. The proper antenna reduces, or
completely eliminates, 'snow' in the picture, fluttering
effects produced by aircraft, and other problems due to
weak signal reception.
It is not possible for Zenith to anticipate the exact type
of VHF or UHF antenna and antenna wire that will work
best in your area. Zenith TV antennas are designed and
constructed to provide you with superior service and
performance. Ask your dealer or any local Distributor-
Approved Zenith Service Center. They are familiar with
local reception conditions and can recommend a good
outdoor or cabinet-top antenna for local use.
OUTDOOR ANTENNAS
You can use either individual VHF and UHF antennas with
separate lead-in wires to your set or a combination
VHF-UHF antenna which has a single lead-in. If you use
individual antennas, the wires from the VHF antenna must
be connected to the two terminals marked VHF. The wires
from the UHF antenna must be connected to the two
terminals marked UHF.
If you use a combination VHF-UHF antenna, there will
be only one lead-in wire coming down from the antenna.
Then you will need a VHF-UHF SIGNAL SPLITTER
(connecting device). This SPLITTER (available at your
Zenith Dealer) may not be supplied with your antenna. It
will separate the two signals from your antenna and will
feed the VHF signal to the VHF terminals of your set, and
the UHF signal to the UHF terminals.
When connecting outdoor antenna lead-in wires to the
set, be sure to disconnect the indoor VHF and UHF
antenna wires.
Cut off excess wire. Coiled wire may cause poor
reception. Make sure there is no excess wire at the set or
at the antenna. :
CAUTION
When installing an outdoor antenna, use extreme care to
keep clear of electrical power lines. Contact by the metal
antenna structure or antenna wire could result in fatal
shock. Carefully observe safety instructions supplied with
the antenna.
