which protects your home theater equipment from storms
and surges.
For an added layer of protection, the Monster® PowerCenter’s
internal components are designed to prevent res that
can damage not only your equipment, but your home as

protectors, the Black Platinum Series delivers reproof
technology with reproof, ceramic-encased MOVs.
Exclusive Dual Mode Plus™ automatic disconnect protection circuitry protects against
even the most powerful surges. There are also surge-protected coax, phone, and
network connections to protect against dangerous power conditions on all lines.
Monster® Clean Power® is specically designed for today’s high denition home theater
components. Its lters are precision-engineered to virtually stop 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.
These days, AV components are better than ever,
providing surround sound and razor sharp HD
picture. With Monster Power®, you’ll have peace
of mind knowing your home theater – and your
home – are protected and that you’re getting all
the performance you paid for.

SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Please read and observe the following safety points at all times.
WARNING—Power Sources
Do not plug this Monster® PowerCenter™ into a power outlet that diers from the
source indicated for safe use on the Monster® PowerCenter™. If you don’t know
the type of electrical power that is supplied to your home, consult your local power
company or a qualied electrician.
WARNING—Grounding and Polarization
A. Do not force your Monster® 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 Monster® PowerCenter™, be sure
the wire(s) is properly grounded. This protects against voltage surges and
static charges.
ENGLISH
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
ENGLISH
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, or kitchen sink).
WARNING—Power Cord Safety
A. When routing your Monster® 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 AC power source and discontinue
use of the Monster® PowerCenter™ immediately. See the Warranty section of this
owner’s manual for important details.
WARNING—No User Serviceable Parts Inside
If, for any reason, your Monster® PowerCenter™ is not operating properly, do not

Warranty section of this owner’s manual for important details.
CAUTION—Exposure To Heat
Do not expose your Monster® 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 outlet before cleaning it. Do not
use any type of liquid or aerosol cleaners.
Important Note—Proper Protection and the Limited
Connected Equipment Warranty:
To completely protect your equipment against electrical surges, every AC power
cable in the system must be connected to an appropriate Monster® PowerCenter™.
The Limited Connected Equipment Warranty becomes invalid if any AC wire or
audio or video interconnect leading into the equipment comes from a component
that is not properly protected by the Monster® PowerCenter™. See the Warranty
section of this owner’s manual for important details.
