Can the amplifier be disabled or destroyed by a power surge to the power adapter electrical outlet?

I don't know for certain but I would expect that would happen. If the power surge is large enough to disable/destroy other electronics in your house then I suspect it would damage this device as well.

I would say that the power plug is very dangerous. It exploded and caused a small burst of fire from the AC outlet when I plugged it in. Tried to contact Amazon to no avail.

Never plug a power backup unit such as this into a protector strip. It can cause power surges and other issues.

Yes, that's true. If you plug it into a surge protector it will not work properly, if at all.

Ditto, my response is the same as the previous two guys. There shouldn't be an issue with the power outlet adapter, as mine was included prepackaged in the Panasonic box with the unit. It's a great little boombox with a lot of features for the money. Enjoy!

I asked the same question to the Digitech web-site, since a power cord adapter is not included and is an optional item. They told me that using a power cord that is not recommended by them could cause damage to the unit.

Well, my power supply blew about 1.5 years after I bought it. Had it repaired and no issues since. Local TV repair shop guy said they use crap power supplies.

Hi Clay, Based on the usage I give to this amp, I don't think will be a problem. I have connected two 8 ohms speakers and often to highest volume, using the power supply provided, and not meaningful warming up. However, I don't think is good idea to close completely ANY electrical device. Leave a minimal air entry and I don't think you will have problems, using it inside specs.

The Wave tool has a dedicated socket for this. If the Surge does not, then you cannot use it.

Short answer is no. You could disconnect the power to it. I keep it hidden, but if the need arises, I can reach and hit the reconnect button.

Equipment uses standard 110 house current. Using 220 volts would fry the delicate electronics.

Definitely. It's just a pass through for an outlet. I'm not sure it is the best way to turn off those devices, but that is for you to decide!

No - the adapter is just an alternate power supply. When using the adapter, the auto-off is disabled (it stays on until you turn it off).

No, it doesn't matter too much. On the device, you will see a schematic so you can see which outlets are capable of the highest current (probably for your amplifier/receiver) and which are electrically isolated from others (I plug my expensive TV into an electrically isolated outlet) With that in mind, use the outlets as you wish!

You probably already tried this, add power to the adapter. it only works when it has power.

Well, I guess the question was - IF a surge appears on line and burns up the protective circuitry, will this item still continue to provide power to equipment connector to it? The problem with it doing so is that the equipment hooked to it now unprotected. I'm looking for an answer myself, so more info from owners is welcome..

As long as the amps are the same or greater on the surge protector you should have no problem.
