Last night was watching a movie, and all at once "Pop", my DVD player was off. Upon further examination, TiVo was off, as well as Satellite receiver. Looked a little further, and my Panamax Max1000 was completely out, no lights at all. So, I tried to get my DVD player back on, freaking out that it was blown. Finally, I plugged into another socket no another Panamax DBS satellite surge protector, and whala, DVD action. So, I finished my movie and went to bed. Today, I traced the Max1000 power cable, and it was in fact plugged into the DBS protector. I know, double surge, not a great idea, but... You do what you have to do when you have amps that require separate plugs and you only have 4.
I plugged the Max1000 in a foyier connection. (it has a long cable), and whala, The Max1000 is back in business. So, it appears I lost a few connections on my floor surge protector. But the DVD player is plugged into part of it and working. Very strange, to blow out part of it.
All I can figure is, the plugs are maybe individually fused and it overloaded. Why now after working like this for months? Makes no sense. Anyway, thought I'd share my plight with the masses.
