...Best Solution

...Can you plug an ac plugin strip into a line conditioner. Most connections wouldn't be on at the same time. I take it the ac conditioner should be plugged into a wall outlet??? or can it be in an ac outlet strip??

    I don't think thats a good idea as you would have alot of power using one source. It might start blowing fuzes or tripping breakers, depending what else you have on the outlet strip.

    what are the electrical specifications of the line conditioner and the power strip.

    check the ratings.

    Dee, I just scanned my APC H15 manual and found no restrictions but I know you should never plug the main unit (H15) into a power strip.

    If you plan to run a small powerstrip with a few low voltage devices that will not be on when the main units are on would be ok, I guess.

    I am doing something silimliar but I am using a 12v trigger to turn on my WD TV when that source is selected on the AVR. the trigger is a single outlet device which is all I need in this case.

    Hope that helps.
