One thing to keep in mind is that a surge protector protects from
surges. The majority of power line incidents are transitory brownouts
where the voltage drops off. Too low and the power supply doesn't
output the proper voltage and the Squeezebox's circuits start to act
erratically. That's
I'd recommend you add a UPS - we get 1-second power outages weekly and

Yeah, I have 5 UPS's throughout my house. I just can't bring myself to

My Squeezebox 2 is plugged into a surge protected outlet. A lot of times
when there is a power outage or flicker, the Squeezebox has trouble
reconnecting the next time it is used. Also sometimes it will emit a
