IMPORTANT SAFETY PRECAUTIONS
Please read and observe the following safety points at all times.
WARNING - PowerSources™
Do not plug your Monster® PowerSource into a power outlet that differs from the source indicated
for safe use of the Monster PowerSource. If you don’t know the type of electrical power that is supplied to
your home, please consult your local power company.
WARNING - Grounding and Polarization
A. Your Monster PowerSource has a three-wire grounding-type AC plug (a three-prong plug).
This plug is designed to be inserted into a grounding-type outlet only. If this plug doesn’t fit directly into your outlet,
do not attempt to force it. [Never attempt to dismantle the plug in any way (or to alter an extension cord) to make
it fit into a two-prong outlet. Do not attempt to defeat the grounding feature by using a 3-to-2 prong adapter.
Instead, call a local electrician to install a properly grounded outlet.]
B. If you use rooftop devices such as Satellite dishes, antennas, or any other component with wire
that connects to your PowerSource, be sure the wire(s) is properly grounded. Use grounding techniques
specified in Section 810 of the National Electrical Code (NEC), ANSI/NFPA 70 (in Canada, Part 1 of the Canadian
Electrical Code). This protects against harmful voltage surges and static discharges, Do not place any part of an
antenna near overhead power lines, or any other power circuit. Do not touch any power line or power circuit. Doing
so may cause severe physical injury and may result in death.
iii
WARNING - Liquid: Avoiding Electrical Shocks
Do not operate your Monster® PowerSource™ if liquid of any kind is spilled onto or inside the unit.
Do not operate your Monster PowerSource near rain or water that’s spilled or openly exposed (e.g., bathtub, kitchen
or bathroom sink).
WARNING - Power Cord Safety
A. When routing your Monster PowerSource AC power cord, do not place it near heavy foot traffic
areas (e.g., hallways, doorways, and kitchen floors). Do not create a trip hazard with the power cord.
B. If your power cord’s protective jacket begins to rip or fray, exposing the internal wiring,
shielding, etc., disconnect it from the PowerSource and discontinue use of the Monster PowerSource
immediately.
WARNING - Proper Cleaning
In general, the only cleaning necessary for your Monster PowerSource is a light dusting.
Unplug your component from the wall outlet before cleaning it. Do not use any type of liquid or aerosol cleaners.
iv
WARNING - Storm Precautions
In the event of a lightning storm, immediately disconnect your Monster® PowerSource™ from its
power source. It’s not necessary to disconnect any components from your Monster PowerSource.
WARNING - No User Serviceable Parts Inside
If, for any reason, your Monster PowerSource is not operating properly, do not remove any part of
the unit (cover, etc.) For repair. Unplug the unit and consult this owner’s manual for service information.
CAUTION - Exposure To Heat
Do not expose your Monster PowerSource to direct sunlight or place it near wall heaters, space heaters, or any
enclosed space prone to temperature increase (e.g., car trunk).
v
PROPER GROUNDING AND INSTALLATION TIPS
CAUTION - Proper Grounding
Monster® PowerSource™ requires a properly grounded 3-wire outlet to protect connected equipment. If your AC
outlet is improperly wired (no ground or reverse polarity), the green ”SYSTEM GROUNDED” LED on the front panel
of the Home Theatre Reference PowerSource HTPS 7000 will not light up. In this event, call a qualified electrician to
fix the problem in your home’s wiring.
Many older buildings are inadequately wired. It’s very common for a building to be improperly grounded. Building
wiring and grounding must conform to applicable NEC (USA) or CEC (Canada) codes for the $750,000 Limited
Connected Equipment Warranty to be valid. If you’re not sure about your home’s wiring, have it checked by a
qualified electrician.
Note to CATV Installer
This reminder is provided to call the CATV System Installer’s attention to Article 820-40 of the NEC that provides
specific guidelines for proper grounding and in particular, specifies that the cable ground shall be connected to the
point of cable entry as practical.
IMPORTANT NOTE- Proper Power and Protection
To completely deliver Monster Clean Power™ and protect your equipment from electrical surges, every phone, coaxial
cable, and AC power cord in your system must be connected to an appropriate Monster PowerSource outlet.

A LETTER FROM THE HEAD MONSTER
Dear Enthusiast,
Thank you for purchasing the Monster Power® Home Theatre Reference PowerSource™ HTPS 7000.
The PowerSource reflects Monster’s commitment to creating performance-enhancing solutions for
audio and home theater systems, so you will enjoy superior picture and sound quality.
Ordinary AC power accessories may seriously compromise the equipment they power. The
PowerSource's advanced technologies and innovative design solve this problem and offer unique
convenience and performance features.
While your PowerSource does an excellent job of protecting your components from harmful power
surges, its main benefit is much more than just surge protection. Exclusive Monster Clean Power™
filter circuitry virtually stops the noise that goes right through typical surge protectors. It isn’t enough to only have
filtering from a noisy incoming power line. That’s why your PowerSource also features revolutionary separate isolation
for digital, audio, and video outlets. If any noise from an electronic product plugged into an outlet gets through
our Monster Clean Power™ noise filters and to the power line, it will have to go through another filter to get to an
adjacent set of outlets. The result is high quality picture and sound that’s free from performance-damaging interference.
Another Monster Power breakthrough is the ultra-low loss RF circuitry. While other line conditioners feature coaxial
outlets for convenience, their insertion loss of these outlets can be up to 30dB. The PowerSource's incredibly small
insertion loss makes it ideal for all digital coaxial connections, such as Satellite or DBS. Your PowerSource also
features an exclusive color-coding system which identifies which component should be plugged in where and by
outlet filter type (digital, high-current audio, analog audio, and video). This way, you won’t jeopardize performance
by plugging a high-current audio component into an analog audio outlet.
As fellow audiophiles and videophiles, we designed your PowerSource for the best sound and picture. Enjoy!
Noel Lee, The Head Monster

MONSTER® PATENTED CLEAN POWER™ STAGES
Monster Clean Power performs two tasks vital to high-performance audio, video and digital reproduction: filtration
and isolation. The higher the Monster Clean Power stage number, the more sophisticated and advanced the filters are,
to reject noise generated on the AC powerline. Also, the higher the Monster Clean Power stage, the more isolation
between connected equipment for maximum component-generated noise rejection. HTPS 7000 features Monster
Clean Power Stage 5 with balanced transformers for the best possible performance.
Monster Clean Power Stage 5: Five ultra-advanced isolation filters including two separate digital filters for
separate digital sources, analog audio, video, and ultra-high-current audio filters provide the best AC powerline
noise rejection and isolation of audio equipment from video equipment for improved component-generated noise
rejection. Ideal for audiophile and videophile A/V systems and reference home theater systems.
