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 AVC System. NOTE · The antenna and the cable converter cannot be connected at the same time. 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). 2. A 300-ohm system is a flat "twin-lead" cable that can be attached to a 75-ohm terminal through a 300/75-ohm adapter (not supplied). 300-ohm twin-lead cable (flat) F-type connector 75-ohm coaxial cable (round) Cable converter/VCR connection · Be sure to connect the antenna or the cable converter as follows. Signal reception may fail if improperly connected. · Be sure to remember what kind of connection is made with your System. · The connection type will determine whether to select "Air" or "Cable" for both ANT-A and B when configuring "Air/Cable" settings.
