A Note From The Head Monster - Monster Power PowerCenter HDP IR 2550 Owner's Manual

Dear Enthusiast,
THANK YOU for purchasing the Monster Power
PowerCenter™ HDP IR 2550. This PowerCenter reflects our commitment
to creating performance-enhancing solutions for home theater systems,
so you can enjoy superior picture and sound 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.
Monster PowerCenters do an excellent job of protecting your components
from harmful power surges, but the benefits include much more than
just surge protection. The patented Monster Clean Power
virtually stops the electromagnetic and radio frequency noise that
goes right through typical surge protectors which can degrade
sound and picture quality.
The HDP IR 2550 incorporates Monster HD Clean Power filter circuitry,
specifically tuned to eliminate noise for today's High Definition components.
Monster HD Clean Power circuitry filters both AC powerline noise and
reduces noise generated by your connected equipment, for superior High
Definition picture quality. HDP IR 2550 also provides Clean Power optimized
for all your other home theater components. Clean Power Stage 2 features
ultra-advanced, isolated filters that include analog audio, high-definition
digital, and an ultra-high current audio filter to provide for the best possible
AC powerline noise rejection and inter-component isolation for improved
component-generated noise rejection. The result is high quality picture and
sound that's virtually free from performance-degrading interference.

A NOTE FROM THE HEAD MONSTER

Other Monster Power breakthroughs include
exclusive T2
High Definition High Definition
® ® ®
circuitry and patented Tri-Mode
featuring an audible alarm. T2 is an active
electronic microprocessor-controlled circuit that
sits in front of the surge protection circuitry.
T2 monitors the line, neutral and ground lines
and automatically disconnects the PowerCenter
from the AC power line when a low-voltage sag
or high-voltage swell occurs, shutting down the
Monster PowerCenter for 15 seconds. When the
under-voltage or over-voltage condition returns to normal, T2 reconnects
the PowerCenter to full operation after 15 seconds. If the fault condition
filter circuitry

does not clear, the T2 comparator circuit keeps the unit shut down.
Your new HDP IR 2550 PowerCenter also incorporates exclusive Monster IR
Control technology which lets you keep your AV components out of sight
behind a cabinet door and still maintain full remote control capability.
These days, home theater components are better than ever, providing
thrilling and dramatic sound and razor sharp picture. We know your new
PowerCenter will help bring it all together with Clean Power and superior
system protection. With Monster Power, you'll enjoy the best possible
sound and picture, and that's what home theater is all about.
