Panamax 5100EX set up?

post #1 of 7
Thread Starter 
Probalby a stupid, simple question to most of you, seems I ask them alot!! But I'm only trying to educate and learn about this so called "hobby" of mine.
I have 2 Panamax 4300 power conditioners set up by my installer 1 1/2 years ago. Many attempts to ask him for his advice have gone unanswered, heck many attempts to have him come back out for upgrades have gone unanswered (and this would have been a billable event)
I recently purchased the 5100, so my question is; after reading the included schematic I still do not understand which devices should and should not be plugged into which banks.
Some of the devices are: Sony DHG-HDD250, IPOD, Harmony 880, PS2 to name a few.
Any help on said situation would be most appreciated.
Plus any advice, recommndation on local CT A/V installers also appreciated.
Regards,

You could ask the Panamax customer service. They were great when I had a problem.

I planned to do that yesterday from work, (I assume they are only open M-F), but things got a little crazy and it never happened and now I find myself wanting-needing to put the unit in the cabinet and push the cabinet back up against the wall for the holiday tomorrow. and I don't want to push this cabinet around too much as it weighs over 400 lbs, yes it's on wheels, but I don't want to over stress the blue stone floor that it's on. but thank you for that suggestion,
just never enough time in the day/week do everything that needs to be done!!!

Take care,

No. Unit is still in the box, but I'm glad you pointed that out as I probably would not have thought to look there first. I did pull out the schematic, but hastily put the unit back in the box. Thank you, appreciate your time and guidance. Will look tonight and assess the layout.

I was going to start a thread on this unit, but I'll just ask here instead.

Does anyone know how hot (if at all) this unit gets?
We have an enclosed entertainment center (toddler donchya know) and even with no back on it it still get's really hot due to the tuner (and the TiVo doesn't help much either). I planning to find a way to get some fans in there, but in the mean time I was still wondering how much heat this puts out.

Oh, and I need someone to convince me why I should get this unit over a brickhouse?

I just found out I might be able to get Furman power equipment locally, does anyone know how that compares (price and quality) to Panamax?

Also, I just picked up a whole house suppresor, am I still better off picking up a series mode supressor for the equipment (like I said, I think I can get Furman locally) or is a Panamax still as good (other then having to be replaced from time to time)?
