2 Connecting an Antenna or cable to Your TV Your TV will provide you with the best performance if you connect it to an external antenna or cable system. Follow the directions below to make this connection. Please note that you will normally only have to make one of the connections shown below, not all of them. All connections will be made to the antenna terminal on the back of your TV. The antenna terminal is a silver metal post partially surrounded by two plastic tabs.
Antennas with two sets of leads You might have two sets of leads from your antenna system, especially if you have one antenna for VHF signals and one for UHF signals. If your antenna system has both a coaxial lead and twin 300Ω leads, you must obtain a combiner (available at your local electronics store). Press or screw the coaxial lead onto the combiner; place the twin leads underneath the screws on the combiner and tighten the screws.
If your cable system requires you to use a converter box for all channels, connect the incoming cable to the IN terminal on the converter box. Connect another cable between the OUT terminal on the converter box and the out terminal on your TV. You will need to keep your TV tuned to channel 3 or 4 and change channels using your converter box. If your cable system only requires you to use a converter box for some channels (i.e. pay-TV channels), follow these steps: find the primary incoming coaxial cable.
