IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read and observe the following safety points at all times.
WARNING – Power Sources
Do not plug this PowerCenter™ into a power outlet that differs from the source indicated for safe use on the PowerCenter.
If you don’t know the type of electrical power that is supplied to your home, consult your local power company
or a qualified electrician.
WARNING – Grounding and Polarization
A. Do not force your PowerCenter plug into an outlet that is not designed to accept a three-wire grounded-type AC
plug (a three-prong plug). This plug is designed to be inserted into a grounded-type outlet only. If this plug doesn’t fit
directly inside your outlet, do not attempt to force it into the outlet. Never attempt to dismantle the plug in any way
(or to alter the power cord). Do not attempt to defeat the grounding feature by using a 3-to-2 prong adapter. If you
have questions about grounding, consult your local power company or a qualified electrician.
B. If you use rooftop devices such as satellite dishes, antennas, or any other component with wire that connects
to your PowerCenter, be sure the wire(s) is properly grounded. This protects against voltage surges and static charges.
C. Do not place any antenna near overhead power lines or any other power circuit. Do not touch any power line or power
circuit. Doing so may cause severe physical injury or possibly death.
WARNING – Liquid: Avoiding Electrical Shocks
A. Do not operate your Monster PowerCenter if liquid of any kind is spilled onto or inside the unit.
B. Do not operate your Monster PowerCenter near rain or water that’s spilled or contained (e.g., bathtub, kitchen or sink).
i
WARNING – Power Cord Safety
A. When routing your PowerCenter’s AC power cord, do not place it near heavy foot traffic areas (e.g., hallways,
doorways, and floors). Do not create a trip hazard with the power cord.
B. If your power cord’s protective jacket begins to rip or fray, exposing the internal wiring, shielding, etc., disconnect it
from the power source and discontinue use of the Monster PowerCenter immediately. See the Warranty Information
section of this owner’s manual for important details.
WARNING – No User Serviceable Parts Inside
If, for any reason, your PowerCenter is not operating properly, do not remove any part of the unit (cover, etc.)
for repair. Unplug the unit and consult the Warranty Information section of this owner’s manual for important details.
CAUTION – Exposure To Heat
Do not expose your PowerCenter to direct sunlight or place it near wall heaters, space heaters, or any enclosed
space prone to temperature increase.
CAUTION – Proper Cleaning
In general, the only cleaning necessary for your Monster PowerCenter is a light dusting. Unplug your component
from the wall before cleaning it. Do not use any type of liquid or aerosol cleaners.
ii
PROPER GROUNDING AND INSTALLATION
WARNING – Proper Grounding
Monster PowerCenters require a properly grounded outlet for safety and to protect connected equipment. If you’re not
sure if your home’s electrical wiring is properly grounded, have it checked by a qualified electrician.
Important Note – Proper Power and Protection
To completely protect your equipment against electrical surges, every AC power cable, coaxial cable, and phone line
in the system must be connected to an appropriate PowerCenter.
Important Note – Proper Protection and the Limited Connected Equipment Warranty
The U.S. $350,000 Limited Connected Equipment Warranty becomes invalid if any wire (AC, coax, phone or network)
or audio or video interconnect leading into the equipment comes from a component that is not properly protected
by the PowerCenter. See the Warranty Information section of this owner’s manual for important details.

A NOTE FROM THE HEAD MONSTER
Dear Enthusiast,
THANK YOU for purchasing the Monster Power® Home Theater Reference HTS 1700 PowerCenter.™
This PowerCenter reflects our commitment to creating performance-enhancing solutions for home
theater systems, so you can enjoy optimal picture and sound performance.
As a long-time audiophile and serious home theater enthusiast, I always knew problematic AC
power could degrade picture and sound quality. Unfortunately, ordinary AC power accessories
can compromise the performance of the components they power.
Monster PowerCenters do an excellent job of protecting your components from harmful power
surges, but the benefits include much more than just surge protection. Patented Monster HD Clean
Power® filter circuitry virtually stops the electromagnetic and radio frequency noise that goes right
through typical surge protectors. This advanced technology reduces stress on delicate digital
circuitry, maximizing the lifespan of connected equipment and delivering improved performance.
The HTS 1700 incorporates Patented Monster HD Clean Power optimized for all your other
home theater components. HD Clean Power Stage 2 features ultra-advanced, isolated filters that
include analog audio, high-definition digital, and an ultra-high current audio filter to provide
for the best possible AC powerline noise rejection and inter-component isolation for improved
component-generated noise rejection. The result is high quality picture and sound that’s virtually
free from performance-degrading interference.

Other Monster Power breakthroughs include exclusive T2™ automatic disconnect protection circuitry
and patented Tri-Mode® protection featuring an audible alarm. Tri-Mode protection featuring an
audible alarm. Tri-Mode automatically disconnects equipment from both live power lines (line and
neutral) and sounds an alarm. Microprocessor-controlled T2 takes protection a step further. T2 works
with Tri-Mode circuitry to automatically disconnect both the PowerCenter itself and your equipment
from both live power lines (line and neutral) when a dangerous surge or spike hits.
Your new HTS 1700 PowerCenter also features convenient front panel USB ports conveniently
powers and recharges portable devices that rely on a USB port connection for power.
These days, home theater components are better than ever, providing thrilling surround sound
and razor sharp picture. We know your new PowerCenter will help bring it all together with
advanced surge protection and Clean Power filtering. With Monster Power, you’ll enjoy the best
possible sound and picture, and that’s what home theater is all about.
Noel Lee,
The Head Monster

MONSTER’S EXCLUSIVE T2™ TECHNOLOGY
The Monster Power HTS 1700 PowerCenter features exclusive Monster T2 technology. T2 is an active electronic
microprocessor-controlled circuit that sits in front of the surge protection circuitry in select Monster Power products.
T2 monitors the line, neutral and ground lines and automatically disconnects the PowerCenter from the AC power
line when a long duration low-voltage sag or high-voltage swell occurs (continuous voltage below 80Vrms
or above 132Vrms).
When the voltage sags or swells to these potentially damaging levels, ultra-fast T2 auto-disconnect protection circuitry
shuts down the Monster PowerCenter for 15 seconds. When the under-voltage or over-voltage condition returns
to normal, T2 reconnects the PowerCenter to full operation after 15 seconds. If the fault condition does not clear,
the T2 comparator circuit keeps the unit shut down.
Unlike ordinary power management devices, T2 will shut down your PowerCenter before the MOVs (Metal Oxide
Varistors) and thermal fuses sense an overload condition and sacrifice themselves to protect your connected
components. This will extend the PowerCenter’s life, while providing the system protection you need.

PATENTED MONSTER CLEAN POWER® FILTERING
Your home’s electricity is full of noise and interference caused by all of your appliances and electronics: cell phones,
computers, even your lights, all contribute to the problem. This “dirty power” stresses the delicate digital circuitry inside
HDTVs and other home theater equipment, reducing their performance and potentially shortening their lives.
However, ordinary surge protectors can’t remove the effects of dirty power. The HTS 1700 features HD Clean Power
filtering that is precision-engineered to remove electrical noise and interference. This protects the delicate digital circuitry
inside your HDTV and other electronics from unnecessary wear. HD Clean Power maximizes your equipment’s lifespan
and ensures the best possible picture and sound performance.
