Plug your A/V components into HTS 200, including your VCR, satellite receiver and TiVo DVR, and consider them well protected by Monster s SurgeGuard circuitry. SurgeGuard delivers high capacity protection (1680 joules) against performance-damaging power surges and spikes. The HTS 200 also prevents power disturbances from traveling down coax and phone connections to other home theater components in your system. In the event of a damaging power surge, Monster s Dual Mode Plus protection circuitry automatically disconnects your HTS 200 from the AC power and sounds an alarm to let you know that it protected your equipment. The HTS 200 also features Stage 1 Clean Power filters, which prevents AC power pollution from degrading performance so you can enjoy better sound and picture.
