The Gadgets You Dreamed Of - Or Holiday Nightmare?

CHICAGO, Dec. 20, 2012 /CNW/ - The holidays are fast approaching and for many of us this means thinking about purchasing high-tech devices, such as a high-definition television, games consoles, or sound systems.

It's not only the time of year that we are most likely to make these kinds of purchases, but it's probably the time when we enjoy them most. As the weather turns cold and wet, what could be better than a warm room and a great film or an interactive game with family and friends? It sounds idyllic, but all of that hard-earned money spent could go to waste in a blink of an eye if these investments are not adequately protected.

When the winter weather arrives you put on an extra layer of clothes and turn up the heat, but what do you do to protect your electronics? It's likely you do nothing, yet a power surge can cripple your equipment in a fraction of a second. Think fuses and trip switches protect your kit? Under normal circumstances they might, but lightning, power surges, voltage sags, or blackouts can cause damage that happens unbelievably fast and is done before you have time to react.

Fortunately, the solution is simple and requires only a modest investment. Tripp Lite's Home Theatre Protection Systems guard against sudden electrical damage and do much more - they protect your way of life:

• Surge protectors can isolate your A/V equipment and computers from damaging spikes or power surges
• UPS (uninterruptible power supply) protect your hard drives from data loss and damage with built in surge filters
• Our audio/video cabling reduces EMI/RFI line noise so video is sharper and audio is richer

Tripp Lite is the leading expert in home and business power protection. We understand the way audio-visual systems integrate and we can offer individualized, cost-effective solutions that offer not just fail-safes in the event of severe weather or unreliable power, but also compensation for blackouts or power problems.

Your investment in TV, audio, games and computer systems could run into the thousands - isn't it worth investing just a little more to know that regardless of what the weather or the power company throws your way, your home entertainment system will be safe inside for years of enjoyment to come?
