Newbie question--I have a Monster HTS5100 surge protector which has separate outlets for among other things, receivers and "high-current" equipment, based on the type of filtering that takes place (audio, high-current, etc.). Now I understand that the outlets labeled for "high-current" ideally would be used for equipment like an amplifier; however, would I see similar a benefit if I were to connect a HT receiver (in my case, a Sony DA4ES) to the high-current outlet, or should I just leave it plugged into the recommended outlet (audio filter--one outlet labeled "receiver")? FWIW--I don't have an amplifier, so the two high-current outlets are currently unused, whereas the other 8 outlets are all in use; it would be a waste IMHO to hook up something that's not high-current into either of the high-current outlets--e.g., if I get a combo laserdisc/DVD player, it wouldn't make sense to plug it into the high-current outlet (since it is the only outlet(s) available) while my receiver remains plugged into its recommended outlet.
Thanks!
Thanks!
