ENERGY STAR� - Consumer Electronics

Many consumer electronic products continue to use electricity even when switched off, as some power is needed to accept commands from the remote control and maintain items in memory, such as the time, date, pre-set recording events and other user-selected options. ENERGY STAR ® qualified televisions, VCRs, TV/VCR combinations and DVD or audio products will consume up to 75 percent less electricity than conventional products when they are turned off. This could add up to significant savings in electricity and greenhouse gas emissions if everyone bought an ENERGY STAR labelled consumer electronic product.
