Can the outlet be placed behind a couch and still function? Most of the outlets I have are hidden behind furniture.

I placed one behind my couch in the living room and it works perfectly. In fact I have them in very remote and blocked locations and they have always worked without fail likely due to the repeater technology inherent in the Z-Wave system. Each Z-Wave device repeats commands to the other devices (simply stated).

Physically, yes you can BUT building codes prevent you from running usual appliance power cords through walls , I guess they are not rated for in-wall use. I've had to have an electrician install a (sunken) outlet behind the TV. IMHO it's worth the expense for peace of mind.

No, you have the ability to place it in the plug so the other outlet is not blocked. This is a great charger btw, super fast!

I think that would work especially under a corner cabinet. I want to put mine inside a wall cabinet and it does fit...just waiting for an outlet to be installed in our remodeled kitchen

it won't completely cover the outlet unless you have the iPad against it. I mounted mine near a plug but you can still see the one wire. It has clips that you can run the wire in on the mount so it is against the wall rather than hanging directly from the iPad.

Without actually measuring it, I'd say that's pretty close; it could be smaller. I have it plugged in behind the couch in my living room and I can use the outlet above it. It's unobtrusive.

I have one in my bedroom and I have a chair less than two feet from the unit. In order for it to work well it needs to have free air-flow so blocking it off with a couch would likely not work so well. They get hot enough that you would not want to leave your hand in contact for long...but not so hot as to burn you if you brushed up against it. If the furniture is off to the side a foot should be fine.

It really depends on where the cords are going. Mine are not hidden because they go to an Xbox and a Cable box below the wall mounted TV.

We drilled a hole in the wall and pulled the cord through and plugged it into the outlet in the room behind it. I'm pretty sure it says somewhere that your not supposed to have the plug above the unit

there are two outlets on the bottom if its in hanging position next to the power in cord. they are tied together and not independent.

No, the outlets are just regular outlets that are protected-there is no specific outlet made for protecting just a receiver or just a TV-plugs are not yet that specific.

Your wall outlet will still be exposed but you can cover the cords all the down to it

No. The inside store the cables and I have a USB surge protector hiding behind it. The base is VERY shallow. It would be great if it could.

Yeah I had the same problem. I had to scoot the couch closer to the wall and you really have to lay with your feet toward the end of the couch closer to the wall with the outlet. I'm not sure how other blankets work to know if this is a good design or not. I just assumed that to be electric you had to plug it in so you were stuck with the wires. Works good for me though, but it might be that I just don't know any better :).

The plus is not flat, but it is not a standard plug either. It is shaped like a small egg and the cord comes out the side of the plug it does work nicely behind a sofa or desk.

It may have been a facetious comment rather than a question, but I agree, the power brick is large. My TV and F550 are mounted onto a Vantage Point EVO mounting system, so all cables, plugs, outlets, etc. are concealed behind panels. If you are mounting immediately above or below the TV, I'd recommend placing the brick behind the TV as well. If you are using the wireless SoundShare from a compatible Samsung TV and don't have any wires between, there is likely a generic recessed enclosure you can add to the wall to conceal the block. If you have your power outlet moved to an area near the AudioBar, getting a recessed enclosure there, which would accommodate the outlet as well, would probably be best. Hope that is helpful.
