Connecting An Antenna - Insignia NS-42 User Manual

Connecting an antenna

About antenna connections
For acceptable reception of VHF and UHF
channels, an external antenna is required. For
best reception, we recommend an outdoor
antenna.
Antenna cables come in two types: 75 ohm and
300 ohm.
75 ohm cable
300-ohm cable
If your antenna cable has a 75 ohm connector,
connect the cable to the coaxial jack on the back
of your TV.
If your antenna cable has a 300 ohm connector,
connect the cable to a 300-75 ohm adapter (not
included), connect the adapter to a 75 ohm
cable, then connect the other end of the 75 ohm
connector to the coaxial jack on the back of your
TV.
Precautions
• Carefully check the terminals for position and
type before making any connections.
• Loose connectors can result in image or color
problems. Make sure that all connectors are
securely inserted into their terminals.
• When connecting an external device, turn it
off before trying to connect it.
Note
• A local television service center or dealer may
be able to help you get the correct antenna
system (and accessories) for your particular
area.
• Anything related to installing an antenna,
installing accessories, or upgrading your
current system is your responsibility.
