All you need to set up
your ATARI 600XL Home
Computer is a television
and a screwdriver. Atari
provides the rest: the
console, a TV switch box,
a cable for connecting
the computer and the
television, and an AC
Power Adapter. Set-up
takes just a few minutes.
Remove protective, .
clear plastic covers from
around the keyboard
when you unpack the
computer.
• Installing the TV
Switch Box
1.
Disconnect the VHF
antenna or cable TV line
from your television set
and reconnect it to the
side of the TV Switch box
labeled ANTENNA. If the
antenna has a flat, twin-
lead cable, connect it to
the 300-0HM screw ter-
minals on the switch box.
If it's a round cable-a
coaxial cable from an ex-
ternal antenna or a thin
cable from a built-in
antenna-attach it to the
75 OHM threaded
connector.
2.
Connect the short,
twin-lead cable on the TV
Switch box to the VHF
connection on your TV
set. If the VHF connec-
tion on your set has two
screw-type terminals,
secure the two cable
leads to the terminals. If
the VHF connection on
your TV is a round
threaded terminal, the
TV Switch Box cable
must be attached to the
adapter supplied with
your TV set.
First, connect the twin
leads of the TV Switch
Box cable to the two
screw terminals on the
adapter. Then slip or
screw the adapter onto
the threaded terminal
your TV set, making sure
that the pin in the adapt-
er makes contact. If no
VHF adapter was sup-
plied with your TV set,
you can purchase one at
a video store.
3.
Peel the protective
cover from the self-
adhesive square on the
TV Switch Box and press
the switch box to the
back of your television
set so it sticks to the
cabinet.
If the antenna con-
nected to the TV Switch
box uses a flat, twin-lead
cable, you're now fin-
ished installing the TV
Switch Box; go to step 5.
4.
If your antenna uses a
round (75-0HM) cable
and you did not use the
adapter described in
step 2, you may need to
adjust your TV set so it
can accept the 300-0HM
signal from the TV Switch
Box. Make the necessary
adjustments as shown in
the illustrations.
If the back of your set
looks like this, push the
switch to the 300-0HM
(3000) position.
