Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the PureAV Power Console. The Power Console
is designed to clean, protect, and efficiently distribute power to your
valuable home cinema system. The PureAV Power Console ensures that
every movie you watch and every album you hear is as clean and clear
as possible.
The Power Console is packed with innovative features to provide you
with the best home cinema experience. Ordinary household AC power
that is delivered to your home is polluted with “noise” from many
sources inside your home, including computers, general electronics,
and kitchen/household appliances. The Power Console’s advanced
PureFilter Circuitry
provide clean and clear power to all of your valuable digital, audio,
video, and high-current equipment. The multiphase PureFilter Circuitry
provides true isolation between audio, video, digital, and high-current
components. This isolation prevents noise created by components that
are already connected to the Power Console from contaminating other
connected equipment. In addition, the Power Console contains Advanced
Overvoltage Protection, which automatically disconnects power from
your equipment when the input voltage reaches a dangerous level, and
restores power automatically when the voltage returns to a safe level.
We also realise that the aesthetics of your system are very important.
For this reason, we enlisted some of the top industrial designers in
the world to design the housing for the PureAV Power Console. The
minimalist styling of the Power Console combines function with a
simple-yet-elegant design and is a great complement to any home
cinema system. The integrated multifunction Liquid Crystal Display
(LCD) combines all essential controls with a versatile voltage and
current monitor.
As you may know, your AC power source is not the only threat to the
safety of your equipment. This is why the PureAV Power Console has
three sets of coaxial connections to protect your cable TV, antenna, and
satellite signal lines. The Power Console also includes telephone ports
to protect Pay-Per-View lines and broadband Ethernet ports to protect
data lines that stream digital content to your home cinema system.
Providing the ultimate home cinema experience is the driving force
behind the PureAV design, providing the clearest picture and cleanest
sound from your components to you. Thank you again for purchasing the
PureAV Power Console.

Safety Precautions
Warning – Earthing
PureAV Power Console
This product must be plugged directly into an earthed AC power socket. Do
not plug or “daisy-chain” this product into other electrical products such as
surge protectors, power strips, or UPSes. Do not plug this product into an
extension cable. Failure to plug this product directly into an earthed socket
may result in personal injury or damage to your equipment, and void your
Belkin Connected Equipment Warranty. Call a licensed electrician if you are
unsure if your AC sockets are properly earthed.
Warning – Rooftop Antennas and Satellite Dishes
If you use rooftop antennas, satellite dishes, or any other rooftop
hardware that connects to your PureAV Power Console, make sure that all
the wires leading from these components are properly earthed. This will
protect against voltage surges from lightning strikes or static charges.
Warning – Lightning Storm Protection
Although your PureAV Power Console is built to withstand large power
surges, we cannot guarantee that it will protect all of your equipment in
the event of a large lightning storm. In the event of a lightning storm, it
is best to unplug your Power Console from the wall. Once you have done
this, there is no need to unplug any of the equipment that is connected
to the Power Console.
Warning – Water and other Liquids: Shock Hazard
Do not use this product with aquariums or other water-related products.
Use indoors and in dry locations only. Do not operate the Power Console
if any liquid is spilled on or in the unit. Failure to follow these guidelines
could result in serious bodily injury or death.
Warning – Cleaning
Always unplug the Power Console from the AC wall socket before
cleaning! It is only necessary to clean the Power Console with a clean,
dry cloth or duster. Do not use any cleaning solutions, sprays, or
immerse in water. On occasion, it may be necessary to clean the front
fascia in order to remove fingerprints. Simply dampen a soft cloth with
warm, soapy water and rub gently. Dry the front fascia immediately and
thoroughly before applying power to the Power Console.
Note: Do not use an excessive amount of water to clean the front fascia.
Warning – No User-Serviceable Parts Inside
If for any reason your Power Console is malfunctioning, do not attempt
to repair or dismantle the unit in any way. Unplug the unit and consult
this User Manual for warranty and service contact information.

Safety Precautions
Warning – Power Cable Safety
Do not route the Power Console’s AC power cable near heat sources.
This could damage the power cable and cause it to malfunction, creating
a shock hazard.
Do not route the Power Console’s AC power cable in heavy foot-traffic
areas where it could create a trip hazard (hallways, doorways,
across room).
If the power cable is frayed, ripped, cut, or damaged in any way, please
discontinue use immediately and refer to the warranty section of this
User Manual for instructions.

Hookup and Installation
Step 2
Remote AC Operation
This function allows you to turn your Power Console on and off via
your preamplifier or receiver equipped with a switched European
power socket.
Note: You cannot turn off the switched sockets on the Power Console
with the “Switched” button on the front of the unit when there
is any external power signal supplied to either the AC or DC
remote inputs.
To install the Remote AC Control Cable:
A. Plug the C8 (Fig. 8 – female) end of the included Remote AC Control
Cable into the “Remote AC IN” socket located on the back of the
Power Console. (Fig. 2a)
B. Press the “Remote” button on the front of the Power Console to turn
on the remote function. The LCD display should read “REMOTE ON”.
(Fig. 2b)
C. Press the “Switched” button on the front of the Power Console to
turn off the switched sockets.
D. Connect the Europlug (male) end of the Remote AC Control Cable
into a switched power socket on a preamplifier or receiver. When you
turn on the receiver or preamplifier, the sockets on the Power
Console that are programmed as “Switched” will be turned on
immediately and the “Switched/Delayed” sockets will come on
after an eight-second delay.
