Good product BUT..
By Laura Keller
Don't buy it from Amazon thinking that it's going to provide insurance for your equipment. Panamaxwill not honor that protection for their products bought online except from a list of authorizeddealers, which can be found at panamax.com. I do wish this had been mentioned somewhere in theproduct description or even on the outside of the packaging, instead I found it in the fine printof the little booklet packed with the unit, after my husband spent some hours carefully attachingeverything. It's a good unit, but if you, like I, are buying one of these with the insurance asa feature partially justifying the expense over cheaper protectors, get it somewhere else.

A largely unnoticed/misunderstood feature - 12 VOLT TRIGGER
By M. A. Gratton
Many folks on here talk about the power strip, it's size, whether or not it actually improves sound quality, etc. Well, I agree it is big, heavy. Build quality from the outside appears to be top notch. But one unnoticed/misunderstood, but very useful feature is the 12v Triggering capability. The bank of three outlets nearest to the power switch (opposite end to the coax connections) can be (switchable) controlled by a 12v triggering mechanism. For folks who have remotely placed HT components such as sub-woofer, power amplifiers, etc. this a tremendous value. Running a 12v trigger cable (25ft Ir Emitter 3.5mm Mono Extension Cable By Infrared Resources) from the back of your HT receiver/pre-pro to this unit, will trigger those remote components on/off as needed, without you have to either a) leave them on all the time, or b) have to remember turn them on/off. This one feature is in itself worth the price of this unit, which is frequently discounted 50+% here on Amazon. Comparable 12v triggering devices from Niles CS12V Current-sensing 12-volt trigger and XANTECH AC1 Controlled AC Outlet run well above the price of this unit, and do not also have the ability act as surge suppressors and/or power conditioner in themselves. All in all, for those who are looking for this type of functionality, as I was, this represents a huge value.

By Ben Kelley
After doing some research on different power centers/conditioners, I ended up deciding on this one based on a few things.First off, the price. I'm glad I got it when I did, it was a little cheaper during the gold box deal. I knew I didn't want to spend $200+ on a power conditioner at this point. It was an upgrade from the 8-outlet Belkin surge protector (which featured no clean power feature). Secondly, I wanted to get better audio and video performance (which it delivered). And finally, I wanted more reassurance that my components were safe from a surge. Since Panamax is a highly respected brand in the Home Theater world, this fit the bill perfectly.Since other reviewers have done a fantastic job of describing the physical unit, I will focus this review more on the audio and video improvements I've experienced.The video is improved quite a bit - it seems like a layer was taken off of the front of the screen, much like looking through a window after it's been cleaned with Windex (but don't use Windex on your TV!). There is less noise than there was before. Even my wife saw a big improvement, and she can't tell much difference between Blu-ray and DVD.The audio is also greatly improved. It has a similar effect to what the video was: it sounds that much clearer. You could swear the sounds were in the room and not coming from the speakers. We watched Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon on Blu-ray and the fight scenes sounded more clear than before.I would highly recommend this to those who have the space for it. The video/audio improvement is worth it alone! Take the time, measure and make sure it will fit where your TV/home theater is. Then get this power center!Equipment and Plug Location:PS3: FilteredReceiver: FilteredSamsung HDTV: Digital VideoSubwoofer: DelayedDVD Player: NormalVCR: NormalCable Box: NormalEDIT: I forgot to mention one more nice feature of this power center. It has two diamond shaped cut outs on the back side of the strip, so it is wall mountable. I know that at some point I will make good use of that and mount it behind the TV, out of sight!
