I have an APC UPS and it was attached to a desk top for years and had no issues with it. Power would go and the computer would keep on trucking until the battery ran out or I shut it down.
just lost a DVD recorder this way so interested in seeing if this system is enough.
cheers and good luck with your chips and power dips.
Just the bars with the breaker. My understanding is that even though surge suppressors often come with a warranty for damaged equipment that is hooked up to them, it's rarely honoured.
Yep, I've surfed the net quite a bit about this and have found loads of people use UPS with surge suppression on home theater systems. I always thought they were just used on computers.
I haven't had much of a chance to do anything about this other than go through troubleshooting with Denon tech support. Guy had me do everything I've already done, then said it has to go in for service. Boo.
