Travis,
Hey thanks for the reply!
Yeah, I checked out the link you gave, and it defiantly states it is a
275-watt output unit.
But I don't get it. What is the 425-VA rating if not power in watts?


VA means volt-ampere.

It's basically an AC power term which takes into account phase and inductive
loads. It's not my area of knowledge, so perhaps someone could elaborate.
