Rated it 3 stars because of the readout not working but I do believe that it'll protect my syste. They suggested that I contact the manufacture and maybe they'll repair it. I didn't want to return it, just have the LED readout repaired. Not to happy about this situation. This system seems to work OK to protect my equipment. I bought it from BuyNow Incorporated thru Amazon and because 30 days had passed they said they I couldn't return it (part of the LED readout burnt out, cannot read voltage or amp draw). Apparently they are not a dealer so they could care less since "their 30 day return policy had expired".
Monster adds 10's of thousands of dollars of insurance coverage to your system "IF" you properly hook up the Monster system according to instructions that come with the system. Very easy to do. most flat screens are not covered under warrantee unless you have an approved surge suppressor "connected properly" to your system. Much smaller surge protection products will cost you nearly as much as this Monster system at this current price.
you will be required to ground the incoming signal cable with a copper rod that is put in the ground at least 4 feet. I live at a lake in a very rural area and we are prone to having many electrical surges from the rural electric company or from bad weather. At the price this product is being offered on Amazon. The Monster HTS 3600 counts "up" for several seconds and then turns on the systems I was useing. And it has worked perfectly. On many occasions, while watching the big 52" flat screen, listening to the surround sound system and the Blue Ray player puting out high definition. As another reviewer indicated. It was very easy to install the Monster at the intertainment center.
you must buy the best protection for your electronics investment. I added this Monster Power Center to my home theater system over a year ago. then a power surge from the electric company or a lightning strike in the area has caused the Monster HTS 3600 MKII Power Center to instantly stop the electricity going to all electronics plugged in to it. Outside.
Hope I never have to put it to the ultimate test- would hate to lose it. You cannot tell from the back of my entertainment system that there are 7 devices connected. I really like this product- it cleaned up my picture on my 55" LCD a little- was good to begin with but better now. It also helps me manage my cables. Nice to know how many amps my system is pulling too.
Great item to protect your very expensive electronics. Has plenty of plugs and looks great too.
It is for my peace of mind that I am doing everything I can to protect my video investment. My only suggestion/recommendation to the manufacturer is to include protection for RJ45 cables. For your electronic components that have a transformer box (AKA, wall wart) close to the plug prongs making the plug width much larger than usual, an extender/adapter plug will be required. The device plugs at the rear of the unit are well labeled. Because it was a recently delivered electronic component and I wanted to prevent any condensation issues, I let the unit sit out-of-the-box for at least six (6) hours prior to plugging it in. The unit was delivered on time and was received in excellent condition. I liked the fact that you can dim the red display lights at the front and also change it to display watts or amps. Overall, I highly recommend the use of these type of units.
