    • Help! What does this mean?

    So today I'm watching a DVD on my HT and all of a sudden I hear a loud BEEP BEEP BEEP and then everything turns off.

    I look at my APC power unit and on the front, the "AVR Trim" LED is lit. I consult the manual for the unit and it states under the troubleshooting section:

    "The Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) Trim LED comes on, indicating the unit is compensating for a high voltage level."

    What could this mean and what's wrong?

      My first guess is that you had a voltage spike.

      Could possibly be, but the warning light is still on. If it were a spike wouldn't the light be on for a short period of time?

      Is there a reset button?

      No.

      It's not like some power strips that have a reset button on the side.

      it means its gonna blow!!! DUCK! *ducks*

      Kidding, APC brand? From my experience with any APC brand unit any warning light 80% of the time leads back to the backup battery within the unit. Check the voltage on the battery.

      Checked the battery. It seems to be normal, 13.5V, and still holds a charge.

      I don't think so...

      Besides, I like power conditioning/surge protection for all my gear.

      Have you checked the voltage coming out of the wall?

      131V, with nothing plugged in to that circuit...

      127-129V, with the projector and HT plugged in.

      Is this a problem? Should I call the utility company?
