I don't know if this has already been discussed, but what I'm about to start now is a decidedly unsexy but IMPORTANT (at least to me) topic.
Many of you dudes would have spent tens of thousands or lakhs of hard-earned Rupees (or other currencies) in AV equipment.
The question is, how do you protect / insure this equipment in case of damage / fire / theft? Many of these equipment may be hard or impossible to replace. Financially, it may not be immediately possible for at least some among us to be immediately able to replace stolen / damaged equipment, if, heaven forbid such an eventuality occurs.
The questions are:
(1) Have you bought extended warranties for your equipment ? If so what has your experience been, and what are the things to look for?
(2)Have you insured your equipment? If so, what policy(ies) did you choose and why? What do they cover -- Do these cover malfunctions, damage due to electrical surge, voltage fluctuations etc , fire, burglary etc ? Are there specific insurance policies for electronic / AV equipment ? Again, as above, what has your experience been and what would you advise people to look for in such policies?
I think this discussion would be essential for all AV owners. Whoever has some knowledge / experience in these matters please respond.
