Yes, I would assume that "protection" is given to all devices plugged into the strip reguardless of whether the strip is on or off (given that the MP AV800 itself is plugged in). Also an audible signal/tone is emitted when the unit has detected an interuption of power and/or surge in current. For further info, I'd contact Monster Cable @ monstercable.com or 1-877-800-8989 (customer service/warranty hotline). Hope this helps.....j711bird

It would still protect the devices plugged into it if its off, as I understand it but I not an expert.

Yes it works off or on. The surge protector will only allow a certian amount of jewles or power thur at any one time.

I don't know as I don't have any way of testing this. My opinion is that the off switch is mechanical with actual physical seperation of the one of the wires when off. The other wire would still be connected and could allow for a errant high voltage spike to go through to all that expensive equipment. That is why "chicken me" physically unplugs all the surge suppressors (any & all makes) during a thunderstorm. Hope this helps - Fred

No. It's taken care of by the coaxial cable. If your location is susceptible to lightning strikes, it would be good to have a lightning rod to ground set up, or a special "anti-lightning" fusible link between the cable from the tv to the antenna.

I agree with the first two answers. As long as the master outlet the TV is plugged into is powerd, the tv should respond to the tv remote. The slave outlets work only when the master outlet's load is drawing power, meaning the in your case when the tv is turned on.

I would remove the internal rechargeable battery and unplug the power, after first shutting off the power switch on the tv. Put the battery back in and turn it on, see what happens.

Hi,If there are no devices connected to the surge protector, the Protected light would be off. It would just turn on if there are some devices connected to it. However, if there are no lights are turned on from the surge protector even though there are devices connected to it then it means that there's a problem with the surge protector.Thanks,Belkin Supporthttp://www.belkin.com/us/support

I keep mine in the outlet charging all the time, so if there is a power outage, it will go on automatically for you, and no fumbling for a light.

The light is the same as your basic GFI receptacle. I wouldn't expect it to be noticeable with the lights out assuming the TV is in front of it. Really have to look behind the TV to see if the light is on.

I have electrical and some electronics background. I don't believe a new cord is your answer. It sounds like an internal problem with the tv. If the tv works fine after plugging back in until turning it off, then it's not the cord. By unplugging and plugging back in you are basically rebooting the tv that is failing to do it itself after turning it off. If this is the case, you would need to take it to a repair shop. I hope this helps you.

Not sure, I've used it here and there, especially left it on during thunderstorm blackouts and it still works

It will stay on whichever band you had it set on. So if the power goes out and you had it on B, when the power came back on it would go back to B. I'm using it to switch back and forth between antenna and cable. My TV's tuner has to be switched as well whenever I switch, as those two types of signals are decoded differently. I believe my TV returns back to the channel (and signal type) it was last on whenever the power goes out.

We use lights on timers and the Fake TV still works. I think the light would have to be directly in front of the unit or very, very bright before it would be affected. Our lamps are off to the side of the Fake TV. You'd really have to test it out to see. We place the Fake TV units right in front of our TV screen. From outside the house you would swear there was a tv on inside.

Yes, I have found that the lights will go off but when it is connected into a active connection it will work as normal.

I don't have any problems with mine. The TV may draw too few electricity to keep the controlled outlets active. Try with a different appliance such as a table lamp on the main. If that fails then you may have a defective unit.

Yes, the red light should be on all the time. It means it's plugged in and ready to go off if necessary.

It will not work when the power goes out. But the on/off is a switch and it remains in the in position, so u won't have to go back in the room

No reason why not, Except! If the power goes out this switch will reset to the off position when power comes back on so you will have to turn your switch on again. If all you are using are surge protectors, no problem. If the are battery back up's then this would definitely cause your systems to crash if you were no there to turn the switch back on.

You should be able to make it work . a cord from lights plugs into switch then another cord from switch to outlet so I think it will be fine
