Pet-Proof Your AV Gear For Fun and Profit [Gadgets]

Posted on May 9th, 2008 in Gadgets, Home Entertainment, Pets by admin

Unless you want to spend money on replacing your AV gear or replacing your pet, you’re going to have to protect one from the other. Sound and Vision Mag has four suggestions on how to do just that. Among them are wrapping up your rat’s nest of wires behind the TV, placing a ScatMat (not what it sounds like) to gently shock little animals that step near your goodies, shielding your screen and hiding your remotes. Sounds like a pretty good warmup for when you have to baby-proof your AV gear a few years down the line. Especially with that ScatMat thing. [Sound And Vision]
