Digital Cameras Photo Reviews of Monster Cable MP AV 200 Audio Video PowerCenter AV 200 with Clean Power Stage 1 v2.0
Customer Review: Does the job
Summary: 5 Stars
I have no idea whether or not the clean power actually does anything to improve the picture quality I see from my projector (I doubt it does), but if it does, it's really just a bonus. I mounted the projector for my home theater to the ceiling and needed a surge protector that I could plug into the outlet I had installed on the ceiling because I wasn't about to lose my projector the first time we had a lightning storm. This screws into the little screw in the middle of the outlet holding it in, so I'm more than happy with it knowing that it's protecting the projector and it's not going to randomly fall off the ceiling at any point. In the $20-range it's cheap enough that if the clean power thing happens to be helping the image quality, all the power to it.Customer Review: Works well but a few minor complaints
Summary: 3 Stars
The power center works well allthough I have not had any electrical storms or faults to truly test it yet. The few areas that I would take issue with are
1)the outlets in my house are the rectangular "designer" kind with no screw in the middle. The AV 200 uses a screw in the center to secure it to the wall outlet. I have not had issues with it falling out but could be a problem.
2) Would not fit behind my main TV because of the tight space between the outlet on the wall and where the TV is hung.
3) As with all Monster Power products I have, the recepticles are extremely hard to insert a plug into. I guess it is better then falling out but they need to find a happy medium between not falling out and forcing in.
Customer Review: complete bust

The installation instructions included in the product package (a clamshell package; I'm not talking about the outer shipping box) were not for the purchased product. They were for a more complex product that really did need installation instructions. This product should have been a simple plug-it-into-the-wall-outlet device, but it has a long, fixed-in-place screw centered between its 2 sockets. You must remove the faceplate from the wall to install it. You can't remove the screw, and you can't NOT fasten it--it is too long. When I tried to fasten that center screw, something went wrong, because there was a snap and a big spark. I think the device got fried. It's now sitting in its shipping container on a table, making me mad every time I see it.Customer Review: Does NOT protect internet/fax/modem line
Summary: 3 Stars
I have purchased Monster surge protectors in the past and have had good luck with them. I expect the same with this one. However, the reason I am writing this review is to WARN others that the description on this product is NOT correct. The description states "Protects internet/fax/modem line from damaging pulses and discharges caused from surge pulses". There are NO input/outputs on this surge protector for an internet/fax/modem line. If you want a compact Monster surge protector with internet/fax/modem line protection get the Monster HTS200(FlatScreen PowerCenter).Customer Review: IT WORKS!
Summary: 5 Stars
I had a power surge that burned out the surge protector for my TV & Stereo equipment, it also burned out a power strip surge protector. I had my projector plugged into the Monster Cable MP AV 200, it was beeping...it protected my projector but it fried the Monster surge protector. My garage fridge was the culprit that caused all this mayhem! I was lucky and I had all my expensive equipment plugged into a surge suppressor minus my electric oven. I will recommend this item because it saved my projector.
