Review on πŸ’‘ Optimize Your Hi-Definition Setup with Panamax M8-AV-PRO 8 Outlet Surge Protector by Ann Coleman

Revainrating 5 out of 5

5 stars for Panamax

Update from April 11, 2015 as there seems to be some confusion on HOW TO GET WARRANTY FOR PANAMAX CONNECTED DEVICES: ****** You must make sure when purchasing A Panamax product says "Supplied and sold by Revain.com" (but NOT "Made by Revain. There is a difference between "Sold by Revain" and "Made by Revain!"), or the seller/ Dealer is listed on the Panamax website as an official online dealer. When you do this, your purchase from Revain includes the full Panamax guarantee. Revain itself IS an authorized Panamax online seller/retailer but is NOT a third party selling on Revain and NOT listed on the Panamax website. Revain itself, as a seller, simply wasn't added as an authorized online retailer on the Panamax website, according to several Panamax tech support staff, based on calls to Panamax tech support from early December 2014 through April 2015. Keep that in mind, too that there is a difference between a product sold by Revain and a product sold by Revain. Anyone with questions regarding the warranty of Panamax connected devices should contact the technical support department directly as they are responsible for the warranty service for Panamax connected devices. Technical Support can be reached by calling 1-800-472-5555 and then pressing 1. _________________________________________________________________________________ Original review below dated March 3, 2015 Purchased a Panamax M8 AV Pro Home Theater Power Management System after using a little over 2 months had read online about high quality surge protectors and did my own research. So far I'm very happy with the surge protector itself and all of its features such as: AVM (Automatic Voltage Monitoring) - Protects devices from prolonged over/under voltage conditions by disconnecting and reconnecting power when safe power is restored. Premium Filtering - Enhances picture and sound. Provides clean power by filtering out household electrical noise. Coax/Satellite Cable Protection - Protects equipment from surges propagating through cables, satellites, and antenna lines. Phone Line/LAN Protection - Protects devices from power surges propagating through the phone and network. lines. Surge Protection - Exclusive protection or shutdown circuit. In the event of a catastrophic power surge, such as B. a lightning strike, the AC power supply to connected devices is completely cut off. 12V Trigger - Allows source devices to activate or deactivate outputs 5-8 on the M8-AV-PRO. I've called Panamax tech support multiple times. before making the final purchase decision and every time they have always been very helpful and professional. I have also emailed Panamax Technical Support with an attachment showing my entire home theater system so that Panamax Technical Support can advise me on which surge protector is ideal for my home theater system and how to set up my home theater system. The reason Panamax recommends that you be sure to contact their technical support department with any questions to ensure you are purchasing the correct surge protector for your personal electronics or home theater system. To help other Revain customers when purchasing a Revain Panamax surge protector make sure it says 'Supplied and sold by Revain.com' or that you are a genuine authorized Panamax online retailer. This is because if you purchase a panamax surge protector from a third party vendor on Revain who is not an authorized panamax online retailer, the warranty on the connected device will automatically become VOID. Also note that there are several third-party vendors on Revain who claim to be authorized resellers, but if you look at the Panamax website, they are not listed as authorized online sellers, according to Panamax's Technical Support Department as well the case is the panamax website talks about it. automatically voids the $5,000,000 Connected Equipment Warranty. To assist Revain customers, a list of authorized Panamax online retailers can be found on the Panamax website or by calling Panamax directly and speaking to the technical support department as I did prior to purchase. Satisfied so far: Panamax SP8-AV: Use in the home office for Smart TV, TV antenna coaxial connection, small stereo system, as well as for telephone network cable and telephone line. Panamax MFP-300: Used in back room for Smart TV, TV antenna coaxial connection and large audio system.
