I need to figure out power stuff - both protection and backup power. If we do a whole house surge device like a Siemens FS140 do we still need surge protection on individual devices like TV's, Apple TV's, etc.? Recommendations on whole house & individual if needed? Good quality UPS systems...

Is a UPS good enough for simple Home Theater Voltage correction if I'm not looking for any "conditioning"? I rent the upper half of a VERY old house. The electrical system is quirky (some 3 prong outlets aren't actually grounded and there are even still a few 2 prong outlets.) I've been...

Q: I'm upgrading my AV system for the first time in 10 years, and I want to do it right. I like the aesthetics of the power conditioners I've seen, but they all cost a good deal more than a quality surge protector. I understand (first-hand) the importance of surge protection, but I'm not so...

I have a Vizio M43-C1 TV. I was wondering if a UPS that doesn't have a pure sine wave output would work with this TV? Harry

I have a Magnavox 2160 DVD Recorder. I was wondering if a UPS that doesn't have a pure sine wave output will work with this recorder? Harry

I have zero idea what this means. "The AVU1500 is designed to stop delivering power to all outlets when the surge-protection circuitry is not functioning properly or is expired. Call Belkin Customer Service for assistance. Contact info can be found at the end of this “Troubleshooting” section."...

I'd like to add a small UPS just for a Tivo and Apple TV (and/or possibly a Roku). I don't care about keeping things running for longer than a few minutes. Last summer an unprotected DVR and garage opener died in an electrical storm, so I'm just trying to avoid repeating that loss. What do...

Hi all. I've tried 2 different Cyberpower UPS's and with either one I get an alarm blaring from them as soon as I fire up my Yamaha RX-A3050. It does not alarm again once the receiver is running. This happens whether I plug the receiver into the surge side, or the surge + battery side. Can...

So we have a 5.1 channel home theater setup that is made up of a Mac Mini, Direct TV box, and a blu ray player the se devices are hooked into a Yamaha RX-V373 receiver via HDMI and then runs to our 42" LG TV The problem is when the furnace kicks on and when you touch something and get a static...

Hi guys. Hoping someone can help as I am spending money to solve this and thought I was getting somewhere but have discovered I am not. I have a 55" Hisense LED TV. Its a 50K390PAD if you must know. Anyway. I have a portable window air conditioner / conditioning that's brand new a works great...

This has been a reliable surge protector and Battery backup for my home theater. I no longer have my home theater and therefore have no use for this. --SOLD-- The battery has been well maintained and still provides ample power for your devices. Use this especially if you have a nice audio...

Hi everyone I just recently lost a DVR, Modem, PS3 and apple tv, cathode tube tv from a strike. The led tv that was connected to the apple tv, ps3, dvr was left unharmed (maybe only one hdmi was shot, the one connected to the apple tv :confused:). A tv in another room that was connected...
