Antenna Connections Antennas • The antenna requirements for good color television reception are more important than those for black & white television reception. For this reason, a good quality outdoor antenna is strongly recommended. The following is a brief explanation of the type of connections that are provided with the various antenna systems: F-type connector 1. A 75 ohm system is generally a round cable with F-type connector that can easily be attached to a terminal without tools (not supplied).
Antenna Connections (Continued) CABLE TV (CATV) CONNECTION • A 75 ohm coaxial cable connector is built into the set for easy hookup. When connecting the 75 ohm coaxial cable to the set, screw the 75 ohm cable to the COAXIAL CABLE CONNECTOR. • Some cable TV companies offer “premium pay channels”. Since the signals of these premium pay channels are scrambled, a cable TV converter/descrambler is generally provided to the subscriber by the cable TV company.
