Is it safe to plug in a desktop PC in to it? Its part of my home theater setup and I cant get a straight answer from Belkin. All I got was "untested"

i'm using the belkin strictly for a/v and is fantastic. however, it would function for a computer as long as you understand it has no battery for complete power failures; only power fluctuations and surges.

Shouldn't be a problem. I have had everything under the sun hooked up to mine. You won't have any battery backup with this product however, just surge protection and power conditioning. Hope this helps.

It would be safe, but depending on your setup, you might pick up hard drive noise over your sound system. Experiment with it, you won't hurt anything.

I have all sorts of things plugged into it. I see no reason that you can't plug in a desktop into it

It should not be a problem, IF we are talking about 120 volt AC. It will not work for 240V circuits (European) unless the item specifically states that it works with that voltage. But as far as computers go, I can't see any reason why it shouldn't work. A surge protector is a surge protector. This unit also has protected Ethernet connections.

Yes, it is. I have had it hooked up to both a desktop and a laptop now. It works best if you have an HDMI cable and connection between the two, but since not all desktops have an HDMI port, I bought a special cable that is an HDMI on the one end, and what looks like the monitor connector on the other. If you do this method, you will need another cable to relay the sound, but once all of the cables are connected I have never had any issues.

Not 100% sure with that question, I purchased my Home Power source for a Belkin product

While the audio out on your tv works fine, I've found that you get better sound if you plug it directly into the audio out jack on your desktop set. (assuming you have cable or satellite tv.)

Unfortunately I'm not savvy enough on that topic to respond, but perhaps someone at a Best Buy or such could help with that. I used it for my Dell laptop, if that's of any help at all.

I wouldn't feel comfortable telling you it would work. I didn't have success with my unit and did end up returned it for another product. I was disappointed because I've always had luck with Belkin products before, but this product really couldn't do what I needed it for.

Hi Works fine on htpc but you have to switch unit on manually first. I havnt tried it on PC but would think it will work the same way.

Check for updated drivers for the USB... might have to call Belkin for updated software/drivers ... I know... I know... it's usb... should have the drivers installed right / backward compatible?? Might want to try to update the hub as well... When I bought mine years ago.. it had already been outdated by the standards of that day. I now use a wireless router with the USB ports built in... So MUCH BETTER! ... and you can network the item.. instead of waiting on the item to wake up from sleep mode....

I've never used a Belkin surge protector before, but I would definitely recommend the HP. I've had one for a while now, with 8 different items plugged into it, and have had no problems.

I have used this adapter only for video data - to display what was on my computer screen on the projection screen. There was no audio data included in my projection. That said, I would check all the usual suspects - are all the cables secure? - are the speakers connected? - are the speakers on? - is the sound card ok? Is the mini HDMI-HDMI converter ok? After checking that all the mechanical pieces are right, I'd reboot everything and try again. I hope this helps. Best regards, TNF

no problem. Just plug the AV out into the input device red, yellow, and white inputs. Haven't tried the component cable since I use HDMI. Don't know if component works or not.

Its a USB plug in. The cable is way to short for use with a Desktop. If you want to Knock your Socks Off check out the Altec Lansing VS4621 Octane this with the Sub Woofer is just like a home system on Amazon, if you don't want a subwoofer they have plenty of two speaker sets.

I actually have this hooked up through my desktop even though we use laptops, printers, phones & our TV with the router. This is the 3rd Belkin I've owned and I love it!

Mine is. I'm using it between my desktop and Onkyo receiver connected to the plasma for playing Call of Duty with no problems. It also sends the sound for in game surround. What didn't know was that it also seems intent connection through it.

I tried plugging the Belkin into the bottom of a double outlet, but a projection on the back only allowed it to be plugged into the top outlet. So, for your case, the answer would probably be NO.
