German term or phrase: liegt auf Masse
Beschrieben werden die Funktionsgruppen des IC 3502 (Kopfverstärker) und des IC 3501 zur Wiederherstellung des FBAS-Signals. Bei Aufnahme- und Wiedergabefunktionen werden dieselben IC's verwendet, wobei die Signalwege elektronisch umgeschaltet werden. Im Playback-Betrieb sind beide Videoköpfe getrennt geschaltet. Der Zusammenschaltpunkt beider Kopfspulen ***liegt auf Masse***, da der mittlere Transistor über die JPC2-Leitung durchgeschaltet wird.

English translation:is connected to ground
Explanation:
the 0 Volt power lead is called ground. This is usually connected to the chassis for shielding reasons. See URL below for various types of grounding.

is grounded


Explanation:
This is how I would say it in English - "the common of both head coils is grounded"

  -> on ground means on case, Masse = Gehäuse, they say short-circuit on ground too

connected to common ground (or being commonly grounded)


Explanation:
I prefer "common ground" as this describes the ground layer of the printed wire board (multilayer board?) better than ground, earth, frame or chassis, which could be used alternatively depending on the context.

For these different terms see:
http://iate.europa.eu/iatediff/SearchByQuery.do?method=searc...

and how to express "liegt"?

auf Hochspannungspotential liegt und die mindestens eine Steuerspule (3-5) auf Bezugspotential, insbesondere Masse liegt
:
lies at high-voltage potential and the at least one control coil (3 - 5) lies at reference potential, especially ground,

und daß die Verbindung zwischen dem Pluspol der einen Batterie (11) und dem Minuspol der anderen Batterie (10) auf Masse liegt.
:
and the negative pole of the other battery (10) is connected to earth.

Spannungsgesteuerter Oszillator, mit einem Transistor (5), wobei ein erster Anschluß des Transistors auf Masse liegt
:
A voltage-controlled oscillator comprising: a transistor (5), a first terminal of said transistor being grounded
