Battery back-up UPS surge protecter?

Jul 14, 2005 6:17AM PDT

I could use help as to where I might purchase a battery back-up surge protecter for my home theatre system that has a HD DLP tv. I've had several power failures recently with the TV on and the fan unable to cool down the DLP lamp when it goes off. Walmart was suggested but I struck out there.

Panamax

Because it's not a computer, you may want to look into Panamax, I believe they have their UPS available now, it's designed for A/V systems, so it will also protect against surges in the power and coax lines (or satellite)
A local Audio video shop should be able to help you.
