To enjoy a clearer picture, use an outdoor antenna. The following is a brief explanation of the types of connections

that are used for a coaxial cable. If your outdoor antenna uses a 75-ohm coaxial cable with an F-type connector,

plug it into the antenna terminal at the rear of the TV set.

"I.A 75 ohm system is generallya round cable with F type _

connector that can easilybe attached to a terminal

without tools (Commerciallyavailable).
