Mas maganda siguro yung 2nd choice, Outlet --> Voltage Regulator --> LC --> Plasma.
Bakit kamo? Kasi, pag inuna mo yung LC before the AVR, may posibilidad na ma-adulterate uli ng AVR yung conditioned current na inilabas ng LC mo. Remember ang AVR, may motor yan at relay na pumipitik every now and then. Yung pitik ng relay at ikot ng motor ay pwedeng mag introduce uli ng distortion sa na-conditioned mo ng current. To all gurus and seasoned engineers hare, please comment na lang kung tama itong theory ko.
Thanks.
Sir, you are correct. AVR's can cause sound degradation after a filtered line. I noticed it myself. Its not a huge difference though.
BUT the problem is most of our commercially available AVR's
do not have grounding plugs, w/c is important for the LC's.
Plus, in the specific instance of the Bada LC with a 3000w capacity, plugging it to a 1,500w AVR may waste the remaining 1,500w capacity, in case you are plugging everything in it...plasma tv (400w), receiver (500w), power amp (800w), HTPC (550w) subwoofer (500w) PLUS the xx% power allowance for the AVR. As long as you have a a 3000w AVR with grounding, then there is no problem. But its hard to find.
Just wanna share this and please comment. An electrical engineer told me this. Did you notice why your plasma/lcd plug is so big? He said it has a fuse inside. It acts like a surge protector to protect your plasma. So plugging it into a well grounded wall outlet should be fine. Your views please.
Hi sir, contact sir Nemesis, a plasma dealer, and learn of his numerous woes on buyers who were skimping on buying protection for their TV's.
