Built-In Diagnostic Capabilities

Three diagnostic LEDs alert users to protection, line power and ground status. The green "protected" LED indicates that the surge suppression components are intact and providing complete protection against surges. If this LED does not illuminate, some of the surge suppression components are not functioning, and the unit should be replaced. The red "grounded" LED assures you that the wall outlet is grounded and surge protection can function. The second green "Line OK" LED assures you that the wall outlet is properly wired and no fault condition exits. An illuminated master switch provides one-touch power control over all components.

Ultimate Peace of Mind

The HT10DBS comes with a lifetime product warranty plus $500,000 Ultimate Lifetime Insurance (USA/Canada only) covering connected components against surge damage--for life.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tripp Lite Home Theater Surge Protector (HT10DBS), September 15, 2006

This review is from: Tripp Lite HT10DBS 10-Outlet Home Theater Surge Protector (3570 Joules, Tel/Ethernet/Coax) (Electronics)

This surge protector was recommended by several audio and home theatre internet sites. It's solid in construction and is aesthetically pleasing. There are three indicator lights that serve as a heads up as to wether the surge protector is working properly or not. The 10 outlets are labeled (DVD, Amp, receiver,CBL/SAT, etc.). It also comes with additional labels if you have two of any electronic device or do not like the label arrangment on the surge protector. The outlets are spaced out so its easy to fit as many as 6 transformers onto the surge protector. On the side of the surge protector are inputs for a phoneline and an internet line. The device also allows protection for up to three coaxial cables. The output Watt capacity is 1440 watts. This surge protector has allowed me to safely and adequately protect everything in my room. It is great if you want to organize all the wires behind a desk or TV/audio stand. I am thoroughly impressed with the device and would recommend it to anyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Price, Great Performance, January 11, 2007

By	Riyad Kalla - See all my reviews (VINE VOICE)    (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Tripp Lite HT10DBS 10-Outlet Home Theater Surge Protector (3570 Joules, Tel/Ethernet/Coax) (Electronics)

So I built a new home theater recently with the following devices:
* 65" WD-65831 TV
* XBox 360 + HD-DVD Player
* Nintendo Wii
* Sony VCR
* Motorola 6200 Set Top Box
* Onkyo 990 THX Sound System (Receiver + Sub use power)

So every single plug on this thing is full... I was really worried I hadn't bought big enough even though this is the 2nd from the top of the line Tripp Lite that is made and I have to say it's been performing like an absolute champ. I've never had a surge or power failure. Even when I flip all 3 of the most power hungry devices on at once (using Harmony remote) there is no indication that there isn't enough power.

My wife and I have watched a few movies through some pretty serious monsoons here with no ill effects... I wouldn't advise that, but we were right in the middle of the movie and didn't want to stop.

I would absolutely buy this again or anything else from Tripp Lite. The power block itself is really heavy, made out of strong steel, nicely labeled and just a top notch piece of electronics. Not to mention the warranty covering damage due to a power surge up to 200k I believe.

5.0 out of 5 stars Saved my AV system, February 18, 2007

By	Mark (Chicago) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Tripp Lite HT10DBS 10-Outlet Home Theater Surge Protector (3570 Joules, Tel/Ethernet/Coax) (Electronics)

I purchased the HT10DBS about 2 years ago. It has great price to performance ratio. Tripp lite is well known for their Isobar surge suppression units which are top of the line. I have always used their products for my computers. When it was time to a high end home theater system, I opted for the HT10DBS. I do not regret it. The unit has sturdy construction and has a line conditioner built in. Last fall we had a lightning strike in our front yard while my system was on and it totally saved my AV units while frying one of the neighbor's cars (the electrical system was toast!). There are other more famous and marketed brands out there which charge more for their products (you know who they are). Don't bother with them, stick with Tripp lite!
