Protect Your Home Theater with a New Power Conditioner from APC

Spring is on its way and what does that mean? Whether you live up north, down south or anywhere in-between, it's prime time for thunderstorms. Protect your home theater system, computer and other pricey electronic equipment from power outages with a power conditioner from APC before it's too late. The new J25B and J35B power conditioners provide battery backup protection for your gear and ensure fail-proof, blackout-free home entertainment conditions.

The J25B and J35B do more than protect your equipment from power threats. As a first in the industry, the J Type products offer a wide range of power protection by combining Electromagnetic Interference/Radio Frequency Interference (EMI/RFI), multi-stage surge protection, Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), noise filtering and battery backup, all in a single unit and at a low price point.

The APC J25B and J35B are perfect for protecting and backing up televisions, home theater surround sound systems, gaming systems, routers, modems and additional home entertainment and office equipment. They offer:

• Battery Backup – Data loss is eliminated when power is disrupted because of battery backup that enables saving and backing up DVR recordings, stored games and computer files.
• Multi-Stage Surge Protection – All electrical modes are guaranteed and offer protected and reliable thermal fusing which helps ensure safe operation under all conditions.
• Noise Filtering – Electromagnetic interference (EMI) is reduced to help ensure optimum picture and sound quality. The J Type benefits from two filterbanks which are isolated from each other to reduce cross contamination that can negatively impact audio and video performance.
• Cost-Efficiency and Portability – The industry-low price point offers a portable, consumer-friendly and all-inclusive solution with EMI/RFI, surge protection, AVR and battery backup.
• Dual-Color LCD Display Viewing – An informative display alerts users of any changing device and power environment conditions and subsequently enables adjustment of all device parameters.

While both models offer excellent protection from outages, brown-outs or any other electrical trip-up, the higher-end APC J35B adds Automatic Voltage Regulation (AVR), which stabilizes unsafe voltage levels - low voltage is 'boosted' and over-voltage is 'trimmed' - so that equipment has safe, stable voltages. Units without AVR switch to battery power during unsafe voltage fluctuations. The APC J35B also detects when a TV or computer plugged into the master outlet is off or in standby mode and will then automatically shut down power to connected components. This energy efficient power detection feature can save approximately 40 dollars a year on your electric bill.

Both the J25B and J35B include eight outlets (six battery + surge and two surge only), 1500VA capacity, COAX and phone protection jacks. The APC J25B and J35B are available now for $249 and $399, respectively. For more information visit APC's Web site at www.apc.com.
