MASTER ANTENNA (MATV) SYSTEMS
Some apartment buildings are served by a single antenna
system. The signal from the antenna is amplified and
distributed throughout the building and usually terminates
at a wall receptacle in each apartment.
The cable used to connect your set’s VHF/UHF antenna
terminals to the antenna receptacle should match the
cable used in the antenna distribution system. It may be
necessary to add a matching transformer at the rear of
your set. Consult your Zenith Dealer for the type of
antenna lead or matching transformer you might require.
NOTE: Some antenna systems may carry both VHF and
UHF signals. In this case, use a combination Transformer-
Splitter to connect the antenna system to your set’s VHF
and UHF terminals.
