Introduction - Monster Power Reference PowerCenter HTS3500 Owner's Manual

INTRODUCTION

Thank You
Thank you for purchasing Monster Power's Home Theatre Reference PowerCenter HTS3500. The PowerCenter reflects
™
Monster's commitment to creating performance-enhancing solutions for home theatre systems, so you will enjoy
superior picture and sound quality.
Ordinary AC power accessories compromise the quality of the components they power. The PowerCenter's advanced technology
and innovative design solves this problem and offers several unique convenience and performance features.
While your PowerCenter does an excellent job of protecting your components from harmful power surges, its main benefit
is much more than just surge protection. Our exclusive Clean Power filter circuitry virtually stops the noise that goes
™
right through typical surge protectors. There is more than one type of noise that can degrade connected equipment, however.
Your PowerCenter also features revolutionary separate noise isolation between digital, audio, and video filtered outlets.
If any noise from electronic products plugged into an outlet gets through our Clean Power noise filters and to the power line,
it will have to go through another filter to get to an adjacent set of outlets. The result is high quality picture and sound
that's free from performance-damaging interference.
Another Monster Power breakthrough is the PowerCenter's ultra-low loss RF circuitry. While other "line conditioners"
feature coaxial outlets for convenience, their insertion loss can be up to 30dB. The PowerCenter's incredibly small insertion loss
makes it ideal for all digital coaxial connections like DSS. ® Your PowerCenter also features an exclusive color-coding system
which identifies which component should be plugged in where and outlet filter type (digital, ultra-high current audio, audio,
and video). This way, you won't jeopardize performance by plugging a high current component into a low current outlet
or mistakenly plug a VCR into a switched outlet and be forced to reset its clock when power is interrupted.
As fellow audiophiles and videophiles, we designed your PowerCenter for the best possible picture and sound. Enjoy!
