Page 3: Important Safety Precautions
IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS Please read and observe the following safety points at all times. WARNING - PowerSources ™ Do not plug your Monster PowerSource into a power outlet that differs from the source indicated ® for safe use of the Monster PowerSource. If you don’t know the type of electrical power that is supplied to your home, please consult your local power company.
Page 4 WARNING - Liquid: Avoiding Electrical Shocks Do not operate your Monster PowerSource if liquid of any kind is spilled onto or inside the unit. ® ™ Do not operate your Monster PowerSource near rain or water that’s spilled or openly exposed (e.g., bathtub, kitchen or bathroom sink).
Page 5 WARNING - Storm Precautions In the event of a lightning storm, immediately disconnect your Monster PowerSource from its ® ™ power source. It’s not necessary to disconnect any components from your Monster PowerSource. WARNING - No User Serviceable Parts Inside If, for any reason, your Monster PowerSource is not operating properly, do not remove any part of the unit (cover, etc.) For repair.
Page 6: Proper Grounding And Installation Tips
PROPER GROUNDING AND INSTALLATION TIPS CAUTION - Proper Grounding Monster PowerSource requires a properly grounded 3-wire outlet to protect connected equipment. If your AC ® ™ outlet is improperly wired (no ground or reverse polarity), the green ”SYSTEM GROUNDED” LED on the front panel of the Home Theatre Reference PowerSource HTPS 7000 will not light up.
Page 7: A Note From The Head Monster
The result is high quality picture and sound that’s free from performance-damaging interference. Another Monster Power breakthrough is the ultra-low loss RF circuitry. While other line conditioners feature coaxial outlets for convenience, their insertion loss of these outlets can be up to 30dB. The PowerSource's incredibly small insertion loss makes it ideal for all digital coaxial connections, such as Satellite or DBS.
Page 8 MONSTER ® PATENTED CLEAN POWER ™ STAGES Monster Clean Power performs two tasks vital to high-performance audio, video and digital reproduction: filtration and isolation. The higher the Monster Clean Power stage number, the more sophisticated and advanced the filters are, to reject noise generated on the AC powerline.

D/A converters, and other high-end audio designs. He now brings his expertise to Monster Power’s elite research and development team. Noel Lee – Noel Lee is best known for popularizing the concept of high performance audio cable over 20 years ago with his creation of Monster Cable.
Page 10: Hookup Guide
HOOKUP GUIDE STEP 1 DSS/DVD/Phone line Hookup The PowerSource has facilities to protect a single phone line. ™ FOR PAY-PER-VIEW DEVICES (SUCH AS DBS) A) Connect one end of a phone cable into a telephone wall jack. Plug the other end into the HTPS 7000 “IN” jack (Figure 1a).
Page 11 STEP 2 Outlet Programming All of the PowerSource's outlets located on the rear panel are "programmable". This means in order to program each outlet pair, you must use the front panel buttons “MENU” and “SET” (Figure 2). These buttons enable you to program between “switched on”, “switched on after delay”...
Page 12 C) Set the Outlet Pair to “Switched On After Delay”: Press “MENU” until the display shows the status of the AUDIO outlet pair. Press the “SET” button until the DELAY TIME changes to the desired DELAY TIME in second(s) before this outlet pair will turn on. After the “ON/OFF” button is pressed, the display will resemble Figure 4.
Page 13 STEP 3 Over- and Under-Voltage Audible Alarm Setting This feature allows you the enable or disable the audible alarm for abnormal line voltage. When setting at “enable”, the unit will sound the alarm when the line voltage is higher than 130V or lower than 100V. A) Press “MENU”...
Page 14 STEP 4 Over- and under-voltage automatic shutdown setting This feature allows you to enable or disable the automatic shutdown feature for abnormal line voltage. When setting at “enable”, the unit will shutdown itself when the line voltage is higher than 134V or lower than 96V. A) Press “MENU”...
Page 15 STEP 5 Remote AC Control Hookups This feature allows you to turn your PowerSource on/off via your A/V receiver or preamplifier. ™ A) Plug the Remote AC Control Cord’s (included) female plug into your PowerSource REMOTE IN AC 120V jack (see diagram below). B) Plug the Remote AC Control Cord’s 2-prong male plug into a switched AC power outlet on a receiver or preamplifier.
Page 16 STEP 6 Remote DC Control Hookups This feature allows you to turn your PowerSource on/off via your Home Automated Control System. A component you don't want powered constantly (such as a projector or surround amplifier) can be plugged into one of the PowerSource's outlets as “switched on”...
Page 17 STEP 7 Coaxial Outlet Hookup NOTE: You will need additional coaxial cables to connect the PowerSource to these components. Protect cable TV, ™ satellite, and antenna connections as follows: See page 16 regarding proper grounding MANUL_HTPS_7000_Q3bn.indd Main:19 MANUL_HTPS_7000_Q3bn.indd Main:19 4/4/06 3:08:21 PM 4/4/06 3:08:21 PM...
Page 18 This way, power amplifiers are turned on last and turned off first to prevent speaker “thump”. See “STEP 2: Outlet Programming” (page 6) for details. A) Attach a Monster Power ID label to each component’s power cord before you plug it into the appropriate ®...
Page 19 STEP 9 Video AC Outlet Hookup Isolated Monster Clean Power Stage 5 Video Filter: Optimized to reduce noise generated by video ™ equipment. Isolates video components from connected digital, analog audio and video components for maximum rejection of interference. NOTE: You may want to program these outlets to be “unswitched” (see page 7, fig.5) as some components perform best when powered continuously.
Page 20 STEP 10 Digital 1 & 2 AC Outlet Hookup Isolated Monster Clean Power Stage 5 Digital Filter: Optimized to reduce noise generated by digital ™ components. Isolates digital components from connected digital, analog audio and video components for maximum rejection of interference. The HTPS 7000 features two isolated filters to accommodate different digital sources. NOTE: You can plug any type of digital component (e.g., CD player, DVD player, cable TV box, digital camcorder) into the corresponding CD, DVD, CABLE/SAT, SPARE outlet.
Page 21 STEP 11 Analog Audio AC Outlet Hookup Isolated Monster Clean Power Stage 5 Analog Audio Filter: Optimized to provide maximum noise rejection for ™ sensitive analog audio components. NOTE: Because certain components shouldn’t be turned on continuously, program these outlets to “Switched On” (see page 5, Figure 3).
Page 22: Grounding Your Cable Tv, Satellite Dish, And Antenna Connections
GROUNDING YOUR CABLE TV, SATELLITE DISH, AND ANTENNA CONNECTIONS IMPORTANT NOTE: Proper grounding can be accomplished by using a special grounding block attached to a cold water pipe or copper grounding rod driven into the earth. Consult with a qualified electrician to verify that your outdoor connections are properly grounded.

Page 32: Frequently Asked Questions
FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. What is the importance of component-to-component filtering? A. With Monster PowerSource technology, AC power must first go through a segment of noise filters, which isolates your equipment from noise on the AC line. Most other manufacturers' battles against line noise stop there. The next crucial step of filtering must occur between components.
Page 33 FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Q. Will it harm a component to plug it into an outlet that it's not designated to power, like high power amplifier into an outlet marked for TV? A. No. However, you may not realize the full performance potential of the component. Q.
Page 34 CSA: A common abbreviation for Canadian Standards Association. CSA has developed over 200 standards, including several for electrical and electronic products. Clean Power : Noise filtering designed exclusively for Monster Power products by renowned engineer/inventor ™ Richard Marsh. Filters out unwanted interference caused by RFI, EMI, and component-operated noise, so components plugged into a PowerSource can deliver maximum performance without noise entering their signal path.
Page 35 Hertz (Hz): A unit of frequency equal to one cycle per second. Joule Rating: A measurement of how much surge can be absorbed by a surge suppressor device. The higher the joule rating, the more surge it can absorb. Peak Current: The maximum current which flows during a complete cycle without permanent change in breakdown ratings or published life specifications.
