Surge protection device recommended

This product contains sensitive electrical components that may be damaged by electrical spikes, surges, electric shock, lighting strikes, etc. Use of surge protection systems is highly recommended to protect and extend the life of your equipment.
Set top boxes (STB) that are connected to the outside world can introduce surges through the HDMI. Simplified MFG’s HDSURGE is recommended for use with these STB devices (cable and satellite)
