You may have to select "antenna" or "air" from a setup menu
to set up the tuning correctly. Get an antenna with a 75 ohm
impedance, or use a balun with the old rabbit ears.

HI
This will seem like a real dumb question but...
just purchased a 27" 1997 Phillips Magnavox on Ebay for a friend who
doesn't have cable but has uses rabbit ears on her current TV. Much to
our dismay, we didn't check to see if it was 'rabbit ear ready' and it
is not. So...does anyone know of a way to get reception on a TV that
only has a cable input without having cable or satelite?
Thanks
