Surge protection device recommended
This product contains sensitive electrical components that may
be damaged by electrical spikes, surges, electric shock, lighting
strikes, etc. Use of surge protection systems is highly
recommended to protect and extend the life of your equipment.
Set top boxes (STB) that are connected to the outside world can
introduce surges through the HDMI. Simplified MFG’s HDSURGE
is recommended for use with these STB devices (cable and
