Cables And Connectors; Antenna Connections - Hitachi 35UX80B Operating Manual

HOOK-UP CABLES AND CONNECTORS
Most audio/video 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 products. Below are illustrations and names of common connectors.
Before purchasing any cables, be sure of the output and input connector types required by the various components. 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).

These sets are equipped with one VHF/UHF antenna terminal. The VHF/UHF terminal can be used for normal TV, cable
TV (CATV), a TV game, etc.
1. VHF (75 Ohm) antenna/CAW
When using a 75 ohm coaxial cable system, disconnect
the VHF adaptor from the VHF 75 ohm receptacle and
connect the outdoor antenna or CATV cable to a VHF
75 ohm receptacle.
