Anybody who has one, what reading is displayed? I saw 116 at a store, but I get 122/123 at home. Also, do you leave it on all the time or is it turned on by remote trigger?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Ok, I see these things at work all day, but are they any good? Cause soon I will get 60% off all monster stuff.mtrycrafts said:That must be the line voltage reading. The store is on a different grid than your residence, or you are better located to a step down power transformer, or less load on your line that the store's, so, it is normal.
I would leave it on as some components are in standby, need power for memory?

The APC units also do not have this on page 4 of their user manuals:

??? Must be some pretty hefty power protection if the first thing they do is tell you to unplug it during a storm...
And it's not more than just MC, nealry all the high end power conditioner companies are charging more and doing less. We'll get into this (with measurements) later this year.
Yeah I'm curious about that as well, as the manual is sorely lacking. I assume you plug your receiver into an unswitched outlet in the 3600, so it gets power even though the 3600 is switch off? Also plug the remote trigger from the receiver into the 3600 to turn it on/off with the receiver?~JC~ said:I'm probably a little slow here, but I don't understand how they activate the on-off cycle of the various componants. The better units list that they have variable time delays that can be set, such that all peripherals are not powered on at the same time. So does the remote trigger the APC (which has been left on???) or when the remote triggers (for ex ) the receiver, does the APC insert the pre-programed delay?
