For
many installers audio and video represent a large percentage of each project. RF
systems can be used to deliver a wide range of content into the home including
broadcast TV, satellite TV and radio. This course brings together these
fascinating topics to deliver the ideal grounding for installers of up-to-date
home entertainment.

installers from other electronic industries, this session contains the vital

required. Topics covered include design and installation practices for highest
fidelity, the basics of home cinema setup and calibration basics.
RF

ensure robust performance from a coax network.
