Use anywhere from 30 to 50 feet of wire for your Sony - I've found
that to be an adequate length with my 7600G. The antenna (aerial)
connects to the center conductor of the coax and the ground to
.......... you guessed it - ground. You may wish to check this article
regarding a 'low noise' antenna:

There is a lot more information to be found at:

You can put together a nice antenna system with readily available
material and minimum budget that will bring out the best in your
760GR.
