Dear Enthusiast,
THanK YOU for purchasing the Monster Power Home Theatre Reference
HTS 1650 MP PowerCenter . This PowerCenter reflects our commitment
to creating performance-enhancing solutions for home theater systems,
so you can enjoy superior sound and picture quality .
As a long-time audiophile and serious home theater enthusiast, I always knew
problematic AC power could degrade picture and sound quality . Unfortunately, ordinary
AC power accessories can compromise the performance of the components they power .
I decided to address the issue . And, with the help of Richard Marsh and other power experts,
Monster Power was born . This PowerCenter's advanced technology and innovative design
provides several unique performance and convenience features . Here are the highlights...
Monster PowerCenters do an excellent job of protecting your components from
harmful power surges, but its benefits include much more than just surge protection .
The patented Monster Clean Power filter circuitry virtually stops the electromagnetic
™
and radio frequency noise that goes right through typical surge protectors which
can degrade sound and picture quality . In addition, your PowerCenter also features
patented noise isolation circuits that separate analog audio, digital, and ultra-high
