bangbang023 Veteran Posted November 21, 2005 Veteran Share Posted November 21, 2005 It doesn't matter. Those labels are there just to help make things a little easier for you when it comes to finding the right cord to unplug later on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ROM3000 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 rickyram56, which model did you get? How is your experience with it, better sound and video? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROM3000 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 I saw that one at a local store, and it is pretty big. How much did you get it for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rickyram56 Posted November 22, 2005 Author Share Posted November 22, 2005 I got the Monster MKII Home Theatre Power Centre (HTS1000) and it's pretty good. I notice the the video is better and audio a bit better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted November 22, 2005 Veteran Share Posted November 22, 2005 The quality difference of video and audio should be nominally better. It's the quality of protection you're really paying for. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ROM3000 Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 That true bangbang. I'm looking for a surge protector for my system. I don't have many component, just a TV, two satellite receivers, and a HTIB (I'll post some pics later). You have any recomendation on a sub $100 surge protector? Thanks.

bangbang023 Veteran Posted November 22, 2005 Veteran Share Posted November 22, 2005 Look at the Belkin F9A923-08 Pure Power Surge Protector. That, or the Monster HT-800 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctebah Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 when dealing with higher end models of power bars it is ABSOLUTELY IMPORTANT that you plug in the right ones in their corresponding places. the audio and video have different filters as well as digital and analog devices.

The lower end ones from Monster and such don't have such precision on them. I'm going under the assumption that no one in this thread dropped much on their bar. It only really becomes important on the Monster bars that cost $150 and up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bangbang023 Veteran Posted November 22, 2005 Veteran Share Posted November 22, 2005 bangbang023, you work at bestbuy right?sorry if I am mistaken...... 586838277[/snapback] Yes, I do. The lower level bars (they really aren't "bars") aren't built to the same quality as the more expensive units from Monster. The sub $100 ones are considered surge protectors while the one's $150 and up are considered power centers with specialized filtering per device and line input. edit: Jesus, I just realized he said he has the hts1000. In that case, you should definitely align the plugs properly. Connect it to audio/receiver (I forget what it says on the sticker). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bangbang023 Veteran Posted November 22, 2005 Veteran Share Posted November 22, 2005 I am a Digital Audio Supervisor here at Bestbuy in Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada. Our DI/Wireless department was just split into three individual ones, Digital Imaging, Digital Audio and Cellular. 586838285[/snapback] A little off topic, but what segment store are you?

bangbang023 Veteran Posted November 22, 2005 Veteran Share Posted November 22, 2005 Ah I see. I'm in a buzz store. Unfortunately, for a Home Theater guy like me, that means all boom and no quality. We have some decent sets and sound systems, but most of it is just meant to be large and loud without much focus on top end quality. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ctebah Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 we are a BBFB store, bestbuy for business. we were one of the first ones, I was a geek squad agent for 3 months, then business professional for 6, then computer senior for 2 weeks and now i am a supervisor, started last week. apparently, as I hear it all stores in canada are going to be transfered into bestbuy for business store. so far there simply isn't market here for any of the higher end stores.

ctebah Posted November 22, 2005 Share Posted November 22, 2005 i love my store. here in canada bestbuy has been expanding like crazy, this meaning new positions opening like crazy. like i said i've been working for almost a year now and i got promoted 3 times pretty much. people are getting moved around like crazy, which can be fun and not fun in the same time.
