AC-Powered Outlets
The C3 Power Filter provides connections for up to eight (8) AC-
powered devices. The outlets are arranged according to the type of
filtering protection provided for a given application. The isolated
noise filter banks (INFBs) eliminate EMI/RFI that can negatively
impact sound and video quality. APC recommends that you plug
your devices into the outlets as marked, in order to assure optimum
protection for your equipment. The outlets are further defined in
the following paragraphs.
Digital Filter Outlets filter the incoming AC power to protect your
most sensitive digital devices (CD, DVD, DVR, CATV/SAT, Mon-
itor, and AUX (one auxiliary digital device).
Note: Any digital device can be plugged into the digital outlets,
and any high current device can be plugged into either of
the high current outlets. For example, if you have a cable
box and a satellite receiver, but no monitor, you can plug
the cable box into the CATV/SAT outlet, and the satellite
receiver into the MONITOR outlet.
High Current Filter Outlets provide filtering for all of your high-
current devices (Subwoofer and Amplifier).
