[. . . ] If left alone, these impurities can show up in your home theater system in the form of picture or sound distortion and degradation. Our Clear Connect power conditioning technology purifies the electrical current before it reaches your sensitive components. This filtering process reduces EMI and RFI noise by up to 85 decibels (dB), among the highest level of noise filtration available today, keeping your equipment safe, picture sharp and sound crisp. Always-on AC Outlets Each model of Theatre Director is equipped with two AC outlets that are always on ­ regardless of the position of the main power switch. These outlets are useful for components that require a constant source of power to maintain programmed settings, such as a VCR, DVR, TiVoTM, etc. [. . . ] All components connected to these outlets can be powered on and off at the same time by simply pressing the main power switch on the front panel. Coaxial Cable Protection Depending on the model, Theatre Director includes either 2, 3 or 4 sets (see feature chart page 4) of gold-plated coaxial cable protection. These connectors are useful protecting components that have incoming coaxial cables connected to them, such as satellite dishes, cable boxes, antennas, etc. RJ45 Networking Protection Should your home theater system incorporate incoming RJ45 networking cables, such as a media server or HDTV monitor with broadband web access, Theatre Director's RJ45 protection will keep the connected equipment safe from surges that can potentially enter through the incoming RJ45 network cable (not available on model SPP4200). RJ11 Modem/Phone Line Protection As with incoming coaxial or RJ45 networking lines, surges can also enter your system through standard RJ11 phone lines. Some A/V components, such as digital satellite receivers, DVRs, TiVoTM, etc. , require connection to a phone line. Theatre Director will protect your equipment from surges coming through this line too. In addition, should your system incorporate more than one component that requires a phone line connection, we included a 1-in / 2-out phone line splitter. Grounding Lug The grounding lug provides a common grounding point for components with separate ground leads, such as turntables. Resettable Circuit Breaker To prevent Theatre Director from possible overload damage, we have included a resettable circuit protector. The circuit breaker will only trip if the total current draw of all connected equipment exceeds 15 amps. Should this occur, the unit is most likely overloaded. Please unplug at least one component from Theatre Director before resetting the circuit breaker. Rack-mount Brackets The included adjustable rack-mount brackets will allow you to mount Theatre Director into an A/V rack system should you desire to do so. To adjust the depth of the front panel in the rack system, simply align the rack-mount bracket holes on the side panels of Theatre Director's cabinet with the corresponding holes on the brackets. Be sure to tighten the screws securely to prevent unexpected movement. 8ft.
