Your home theater system is a big investment. You need to protect it with the APC H10 Power Conditioner that gives you surge protection, isolated EMI/RFI noise filtering, and voltage regulation. The H10 is the preferred power protection choice for high performance home entertainment systems.
Also Available In Silver
Home electronics cost a lot of money, so it's smart to protect your investment with the APC H10 1000 W/1000 VA Power Conditioner. The very real danger of power surges can wipe out valuable information and systems, which means your home theater, computer, and other electronics are at risk. Stop relying on cheap power strips. Instead, use a the single component that eliminates all power threats to your high performance A/V system.
APC's H10 Power Conditioner gives you 12 surge-protected and filtered outlets. Six of these outlets have EMI/RFI noise filtering for digital devices such as HDTVs, DVRs, and DVD players. There are also two analog, two video, and two high current (amplifiers, subwoofers) filtered outlets. Component-specific noise filtering banks prevent video and audio signal distortion. You also get surge protection, isolated noise filtering, and voltage regulation. Power conditioning is a much-needed solution that eliminates stress on component power supplies, eradicates EMI/RFI and voltage fluctuation as a source of AV signal degradation, and protects equipment from damaging surges, spikes voltages, and lightning. If you live in a place where electrical noise and radio frequency interference is severe enough to affect picture and sound quality, this APC conditioner can improve your cinematic experience by allowing the equipment to perform to its maximum capabilities. The H10 has Automatic Voltage Regulation, which eliminates voltage fluctuations (from brownouts, sags, or over-voltages) as a source of A/V signal degradation. Sequenced turn on/off functionality regulates the way audio equipment is powered up/down. This feature prevents equipment damage caused by not turning A/V components on and off in the correct order. Inductorless filtering for high current components is also included.
One blip in your power can be ruinous. If there's a surge or even momentary outage, you can lose practically your entire home theater set-up. Your onscreen electronic program guide can disappear, your DVR hard drive can be lost; and because fans stop running to cool them, expensive front projector lamps can overheat and blow out. This applies to rear projector TV lamps as well. Plus, all that invaluable custom programming the installer did will get wiped out and send you back to the factory presets, requiring another install. Not only is your home theater at risk, but so are music systems and computer hard drives. Only an uninterruptable power supply (UPS) with a battery backup can protect you from power outages. APC H Type Power Conditioners like this H10 don't have battery backup; but J Types and S Types do, and those models are also available right here at Vann's. Just enter APC into the main search function at the top of any page.
From corporate data centers to home offices to home theaters, APC is highly regarded as an innovator, designer, and manufacturer of quality power protection solutions. With a proven reputation for Legendary Reliability, leading companies depend on APC every day to protect and support many of the most critical networks in the world, including those at Microsoft, Toyota Motor Sales, and IBM.

Went with this unit as its color matched my cabinet and other units as well as the capacity of this unit. Didnt feel the need for battery backup so that wasnt an issue.
I have a 60 Plasma, Xbox 360, Wii, DirecTV HD-DVR, Denon 3311, Blu-Ray Player, and a few other items plugged into this box. When watching TV, Movie, playing Video Game, my items only use 40 of the capacity of this thing.
Dont worry about adding up watt usage as they rarely use the full watt potential on each item.
This unit is flat out awesome, great investment and great warranty. It will cut the power and destroy the box before any damage can be done to your components. Must have for ANY home theater!
Best part, when I first got it the lights were real bright and was annoying. Later learned by pushing one button on the panel you can dim the lights or turn them off completely which Ive done even when the unit is on...awesome!!

I have 2 of these. Most people buy this to protect their AV equipment, which in most cases it does quite well. I bought these to improve the sound of my moderately high-end audio systems. The only thing I don't plug into this is my DVR, reason is if I have a power outage and the cable is still operational, I want to be able to continue to record so the DVR and its external ESATA HDD both go into a separate UPS. Everything else goes into the H10. I really do hear a difference and its all for the better. I have not compared the H10 to anything else other than a regular UPS so I can't say that is is better or worse than, say, a Belkin or a Monster. But the sound is much improved over a standard UPS or just plugging components into a wall.

I have had my home theater gear plugged into the H10 now for a couple of weeks and the thing just works. Its nothing fancy, but the price and features on this unit beat the hell out of anything else I compared it to.
I have recently upgraded my home theater gear - new AVR, new fronts, new center, new sub - and decided it was time to invest in some kind of power distribution unit that would offer more than just surge protection.
I looked at the usual suspects from Monster, Panamax, and Belkin, but none of their units included the voltage regulation feature at this price point, if at all. In my home, the AC kicks on & off frequently for 9 to 10 months out of the year. This activity draws short but significant surges that I feel could damage my equipment over time. The AVR feature, alone, sold me on the H10.
I also considered the H15, which has the better information panel, but I did not feel that level of information was necessary on a unit like this. If I were purchasing a UPS unit, then I would want that. The LEDs provide enough information for me, though they are a tad bright even at their dimmest setting. Thankfully, APC gives you the option of just turning the lights off completely.
The unit also allows you to set a range for voltage regulation. So, depending on how consistent or poor the power delivery is to your theater, you can set the parameters for when the regulator steps in to stabilize the flow to all of your connected components..
The unit does make a clicking noise whenever the voltage regulator kicks in. It does not bother me when I am using my components, but it might bother some. I can hear it click from about 50 feet away when all of my components are off. My theater is on a second floor, away from bedrooms, and, therefore, the clicking is not a problem for me. However, if you sleep in the same room or in a room close to where the unit resides, the clicking could be an issue.
The unit also allows for sequenced delay for turning on components. This works nicely, particularly if you have a separate amplifier or a subwoofer with a high-power amplifier connected to this unit.
The plugs in the rear are plentiful and nicely spaced. If you have wall-wart plugs, however, you may run out of space quickly.
I highly recommend this unit if you are looking for a power conditioner or power center. The feature-set is excellent and the price makes this a terrific value!

The APC H10 arrives securely packed with a clearly written manual. All markings on the unit are legible. The level of illumination of the LEDs is user configurable within a reasonable range, although even at the lowest setting, the blue lights are clearly visible in a darkened room.
The unit shows what proportion of its capacity -1000 watts - is being drawn through it by connected devices. This is particularly useful since it is easy to miscalculate the actual consumption of various units. As an example, with my TV - 100 watts, processor -100 watts, a 3 channel amp -200 watts per channel and surround amp -100 watts per channel all on, the actual draw shown by the H10 is 40 - 400 watts. This tells me that I am well within the safe range of the electrical circuit handling the load .
In the heat of the summer, the electric company frequently lowers the voltage supplied to my home. While I may not be aware of it, the H10 certainly is and it increases the voltage as necessary in order to protect my equipment. This action is noted by an orange LED and an audible click.
When the supplied power no longer requires action, the LED goes out with the same soft click noise. While some have criticized the audible signal, I am glad to be kept aware of whats going on and do not find it troublesome.
While I do not have a flat panel TV, my CRT set has been adjusted to show HD channels from my satellite provider. With the TV connected through the H10, there is a noticeable sharpening and brightening of the image.
However, at its most fundamental level, the H10 acts to protect your TV, Home Theater and Music System from the very real dangers of power supply fluctuations up to and including lightening strikes.
Given the total cost of the components attached to it, this one-time cost is, as far as I am concerned , an important one to accept.
While the typical user may never use some of the more esoteric features, such as timed delay starting for selected components or changing the voltage range, the protection afforded by the unit is well worth the expense.

Im very happy with my APC H-10 Power Conditioner. Ive been using APC for surge protectors and UPS for years as a part of previous employment, so this unit serves to confirm their quality reputation. I also use an APC Back UPS 550 for my computer that saved it along with my peripherals from a very bad storm that fried my previous television and other equipment having run-of-the-mill surge protectors on them.
After hooking the product up to my AV equipment including a 46 inch plasma TV, TiVo, Wii, Blu-Ray, amplifier, cable modem, and Wi-Fi router, I noticed a small improvement in the video on my TV. I have already seen the Automatic Voltage Regulator, my primary reason for the purchase, in action. It occasionally corrects a high voltage condition in the power coming into my house. Given the sensitivity on high-end electronics, I feel at ease knowing that my equipment is now protected from this condition. Additionally, I have my coaxial cable for the internet and television running through the H-10 to help clean up the signal.
I would recommend this product to anyone who has valuable AV equipment and either suspects trouble with the power in your building, lives near power lines or someone who wants piece of mind knowing your equipment is protected from power surges or brown-outs.

The package arrived well padded. No damage to the box. Had it setup in 10 minutes. The main reason for this purchase was the horrible power surges in our neighborhood and the multiple random power outages for no reason. No bad weather outside. The delayed power on section is another great feature that I am using for my gaming console and stereo. Extra bonuses are all the indicator lights that are really bright,but can be dimmed when watching a movie. Overall a well designed product and great insurance against poor power.

I now own two of these units, each for my two LCD Samsung TVs, and associated components. With line filtering/conditioning, and surge protection, its a must for protecting your investment. If you live in an area with fluctuating line voltage, or in an area where you might have frequent lightning storms, I would recommend getting one.
The unit gives many outlets to plug into for all you components, plus coax cable and phone line protection. Unit display can be dimmed, or off for bedroom use, and makes no humm.
Dont be lured into cheap surge protectors, as these might be fine for things you dont care about, they cant handle a large surge, and they dont condition the incoming line voltage.
This is APCs business, and they have the experience, and make a great product.

The bottom line is that it works perfectly.

I ahd previously just used the power strip type of line conidtioners which are just there to blow if too high a voltage is sensed. This one actually corrects the voltage no matter if it is low or high.

I purchased the APC H10 from Vanns because they had the best price I could find on the interweb. Not only did I get a good price but I also got quality service from Vanns! I purchased the APC H10 in a hurry and had little time to compare products. I was familiar with APC products from past work in the IT field and was comfortable with the brand. I had a Monster brand power center for my home theater set up prior to this purchase. After a few power outages all in one day the Monster product ceased to work. I wish I had purchased the APC H10 originally. It is massive! You can feel the quality as you unpack it. Heavy. Lots of outlets. Easy to set up and understand. I live in an area that has frequent outages, brown outs, and spikes. I can see the H10 doing its job right on the front panel. You can even turn the indicator lights off if you like. Nice touch. My home theater system consists of a sharp LCD TV, Apple Mac Mini, 2 TB hard drive, wireless router, and cable modem. It is a simple set up, but each component could easily be ruined by the kind of power I have here. One component down means no entertainment. No worries now. And none of the clicking I have read so much about. THis is a nice quality power center. Money well spent.

Ive had this unit for a couple of weeks. Ive spent a few thousand dollars on my Home Theater setup and decided the surge protector I was using wasnt enough.
I like this unit because of the number of outlets as I needed more, the filtering and fairly low pass through voltage it allows. The front display that shows load and function is very nice. There are several brightness settings you can choose from for the LED brightness including completely off.
After hooking it up I noticed that my sub sounded clearer and seemed to have a little more volume. This of course is completely subjective. All in all I am very pleased with this unit and the protection it will provide should I need it.
