Outdoor Antenna Grounding
--
lf
an ouiside antenna b
connected to the receiver,
be sure the antenna system
b
grounded
so as to
provide
some
protection
against
voltage
surges and built-up
static charges. Section 810 of the Natbnal
Electrical
Code,
ANSI/NFPA
No. 70-1990,
provides
inlormatbn
with
respect
to
proper grounding
of
the mast
and supportirg
structure,
grounding
ol 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. See figure below.

Placement
of speaker systems
The
illustration
below is an
example
when
enjoying Dolby Pro-Logic
Surround-sound.
The listening
position
at
which
the effect
is
the
greatest
is a
posi-
lion slightly to
the
rear
of a center
position
of
five-speaker
systems.
However
the
position
should be adlusted to
your personal
preference,
because
the eflect varies to some degree
depending
upon the type ol music
and the
music
source.

o
Even if the amplifier to be used has an
output
power
rating lo*er
than that ol the speaker syslem, the amplifier ou$rt may
become distorted.
This
"clipping"
distortion creates an ex-
cessive
input level which
can damage the speaker slts{em.
This
type ol distortion also occurs, if the input signal to the amplifier
is
too
large
(For
example, when
excessive equalizatiqr
is used.).
.
Keep the
speakers
away from sources of heat, high
humidity
and
direct sunlight.
The
sound reproduced
by a speaker is easily influenced by
such
lactors
as
room
acoustics
and the system's location in the room
Before finally
deciding where
the speakers are to be
placed,
please
read
the lollowing information
carelully.
oThe
bass
sound will be increased if
lhe speakers are
placed
on
the floor
or close to a wall
due to the
reflection
of sound.
It is therefore
possible
to adjust
the bass sound to some extent by
adjusting
the speaker's
distance
from
the
wall
and/or floor.
.
Undesirable resonance
or sound
reflection
will occur i, the
speakers face
a hard wall or window.
Curtains or similar
materials can
be used to
prevent
these reflections.
.To
prevent
possible
acoustic feedback
the speaker system
should be
kept
away
from
the turntable. Feedback
(howling)
can
result
from vibrations from
the speakers.
