Can this be used for your TV, Bluray DVD surround sound, etc.? Or is it just for PC related electronics? Joule rating is higher than the home ent. one

Good question Robb. I have one of each in my area for my TV electronics since I have more stuff now than can be supported by one power bar. You might want to check the manufacturer website to make sure.

From advertizing on outer box:For Computers & "HOME THEATERS" ..My thought:would think that any surge protector that has Coaxial Connections for TV / Cable Box(as the Monster Power has) would be safe to use for TV. Although they "Monster Power" may by chance also make a Surge Protection System specially designed just for Home Theater Systems?

I'm using it as a home theater powerstrip for an HDTV, A/V receiver, DVR, HTPC, internet router, cable modem, and powerline ethernet adapter (via the unfiltered PLC outlet), and it works just fine. Note that I don't use the GreenPower feature, though, because of the DVR and HTPC.

You can use it for anything. It is just pre marked with some items for convenience. You can plug anything into any of the outlets. It comes with other tabs so you can cover up the ones if you put another device in that socket.

Shouldn't be a problem. The labeling won't match, of course. I think the joule rating has to do with how much power it can dissipate in a power spike, so a higher rating is better.

They can be used for other devices but if you use it to plug in a DVR for your TV, you can not make the main source as you do not want to shut that device off when the TV is shut off for recording purposes.

i don't know since i only used it for blu ray disc and dvd ,sorry i could not answer your question,but what i will tell you is be careful,and keep your reciept mine burn'nt up at the 11 month of usage and considering i only use it 3 or 4 times that time period cause i'm over the road most of the time this was a disapointment,so what i did was buy at a local retailer incase anything happens i can go back,good luck.

Not sure as I have never tried it for that. Know it works well for TV, Cable box and DVD player. Think some of the models that are the same as this but handle more might and they don't cost a lot more. Pratty sure they make one that will do the job.

Yes this can be used as it is a simple universal audio 3.5mm jack. It also has a separate input on the side so that a PC and HDTV can be using the speakers simultaneously!

Although I own this and use it for some specific music and video in my home, I don't recommend it for a primary TV set-up. There is no way to control the volume, and Samsung's typically output through their audio out at a fixed volume. So as you're worried, you would not have any way to control the volume except by turning the knob on the amp, which is awkward. You would also not be able to mute, which is even more problematic.

I have only tried using this on appliances and not with any electronics. However, I suspect that it would work with electronics like a TV.

I use it with a Logitech Revue to convert to component to pass through multiple component HD amps/Splitters for different home zones. The issue is the last model I had passed the revue to my 480p flat panels, but this model doesn't.

Do you want the sound to go into your TV from your DVD player? If so, this device won't do that. It converts a digital coaxial signal into an optical signal. I use it to run sound from my TV to my soundbar. My TV only has coaxial out and my soundbar only has optical in.

It's popular use is for ham radio equipment, and it's filtered really well. Should be fine for home audio.

If your TV has a connection, plug input for it. It should work fine. I use it for my computer. So I can listen to my music while cleaning. It has the thin plug. Some TV Sets has this, others have the RCA output plugs. I Remember that There are connecting plugs you can buy to connect to RCA

the only digital input is USB, with an asynchronous DAC, that works really nice...Thing is that USB ports on most computers are really bad in noise and power fluctuations... sooo.. solution is the Wyrd USB decrapifier, from Schiit.. works wonders.. personally owned and intensively tested and compared with CD player level of sound fidelity (in fact sounds fantastic)As for the DVD coax, or sorts, you can use receiver's analog RCA inputs without any fear, they are excellent and I bet you will never feel a difference from coax, optical, HDMI, or anything else...

I haven't heard of using them for home TV. They are primarily intended for use with mobile audio/video, such as an in-car DVD player.

I would use it if your home theater has electrical power rating less than 1000W or even 750W. This transformer does not change frequency (only voltage) so the power supply in your home theater might have to be able to handle that - 60Hz in the US vs. whatever it was designed for (50 or 60Hz). This could rather affect long term reliability. The transformer gives out a little buzzing noise which would be up to you to get annoyed or not. Good luck!

I don't think you can use this for dvd player. You can use this for heating appliance. For dvd player you will have to use a voltage converter that has a step down transformer.

I have a Blue Ray with digital audio output, the video is with HDMI, but I want to connect the audio to an amplifier. It works fine with DVD and Blue Ray disks, but when I want to play a home made CD of music, it distorts with noise. The device will convert your TV output to rca, sure, but I can't tell you if you will hear noise. Is cheap, so you can try.

Hi! Yes. Appliances such as the ones you describe are exactly what this product was designed for. The difficulties will arise when people try to use it to plug in their laptop computers and other similar, more sensitive electronics, which can literally get 'fried' using this product. Unfortunately that is not mentioned anywhere on the Amazon page for this product, only on the packaging itself, which means you have to order it, as I did, thinking you were going to use it for any item needing an adapter/power converter from what's normally used in North America to plug it in and have it work in Great Britain & Europe, etc. - only to discover when you read the package and the instructions insert that it is _NOT_ recommended for electronics, only appliances.

I use them for my Ipod, laptop and Kindle Fire. I don't believe you could use them for tv audio unless the tv's speaker jack was small enough to fit the plug on these.
