Panamax MR4000 8-Outlet Home Theater Power Conditioner & Surge Protector

Are you wanting to protect your tv or high end stereo equipment from low voltage or high voltage spikes? This is the appliance for you. This protects from brown outs and high voltage, shutting off power before your audio/video equipment can be damaged. I purchased this unit after having to replace audio equipment because of power fluctuation issues. The blue light on the front can be turned off if you do not like it. Well worth the cost!

I get surges fairly often and this seems to protect all of my entertainment devices. Bright blue lights are dimmable. Device is well labeled making installation easy. I like the Panamax products I've had over many years.

Pretty fast shipping for coast to coast it arrived two days early. Price was about $30 less than their closet competitor. Some people on their reviews didn't like they couldn't dim the front panel light it was either on or off, I like it on, in my opinion it ads a kind of cool factor to it. As far as performance of this thing goes we will have to wait to see the next time we have a power outage or spike here, which in my neck of the woods happens far too often. The eight outlets is more than enough for me, I am only using two right now, one for my turn table and one for my amp. Nice to know if I want to add a CD player, receiver or something else I have the ability to do so. I also love the slim look of this thing as well.

I bought this to keep my Denon AVR-S930H from overheating. This does a very good job of that. I can feel a big difference in the temp. I forgot to turn it on when bumping hard and the receiver got pretty hot as usual. Kicked this on high and in a couple of minutes it was noticeably cooler. Dropped the fan speed and it kept it there. I usually run on low all day when using the receiver and it’s just right. I prefer to operate off auto.

Enjoying the mental peace of having a very reliable surge protector for all the electronics and the OCD satisfaction of vanishing all cables at the same time. However, GOLLY, those blue lights are piercing! I am very confused why this design idea for a product that is supposed to be almost always placed under a TV in a low lit room? The LCD display would have been sufficient to convey the message that it is on and working. It was so much that I was having to squint my eyes while a night scene is on the TV (sitting 10+ ft away). I had to put electric tapes on, to shut these lights. Luckily, since it's tucked about 3 inches into the cabinet, the electrical tapes did not become an eyesore.

This Panamax MR4000 arrived promptly and has met our needs. It is very simple to setup and use. The unit also has very easy to accesss on/off buttons etc. The one thing that surprised us was the size of the unit, it is smaller than expected. It is as wide as a standard electronics unit like a DVD player, cable box, or receiver, is about 1 inch thick/high, and only about 6 or 7 inches deep. We had thought it was deeper, similar to a DVD player or receiver but it is about half that deep. We had planned to stack our cable box on top of this unit but because it is so much smaller that won't work. We had to flip our plan and put the Panamax MR4000 on top.

This is perfect for your electronics! Don’t read neg comments just get it!

Tried several brands, power cord too short. A little expensive, but worth it. My audio/video equipment is expensive too, why not the best?
