mast and supporting structure,
grounding of the lead-in wire to an
antenna discharge unit, size of
grounding conductors, location of
antenna-discharge unit, connection
to grounding electrodes, and requirements for the grounding electrode.

SPEAKER PLACEMENT
FRONT
SPEAKERS
SURROUND SPEAKERS
The front speakers should be
placed the same distance
from each other as they are
from the listening position.
They should be placed at
about the same height from
the floor as the listeners’
ears will be, or they may be
angled toward the listeners.
The center channel speaker
should be placed directly
above or below the television, and no more than two
feet above or below the
tweeters of the left and right
speakers. It is often con-

drawing.
The surround speakers
should be placed slightly
behind the listening position
and, ideally, should face
each other and be at a
higher than the listeners’
If that is not possible, they
may be placed on a wall
behind the listening position,
facing forward. Additional
satellites may be purchased
separately for use in 6.1- or

ears.
SUBWOOFER
Generally, it is best to aim all
of the speakers (except the
subwoofer) toward the listening position at about ear-level
height.
The low-frequency material
reproduced by the subwoofer
is mostly omnidirectional,
and this speaker may be
placed in a convenient location in the room. However,
bass reproduction will be
maximized when the subwoofer is placed in a corner
along the same wall as the
front speakers. Experiment
with subwoofer placement by
temporarily placing the subwoofer in the listening position and moving around the
room until the bass reproduction is best. Place the subwoofer in that location.
