HOME THEATER

Why Buy ENERGY STAR qualified Home Theater equipment?

Americans spend more money to power home theater equipment when turned off than actually in use.

• ENERGY STAR qualified TVs use about 25% less energy than standard units.
• If every TV sold this year carried the ENERGY STAR, it would mean 9 billion pounds less air pollution.
• Americans spend more money to power DVD players when turned off than when actually in use. When they're off, ENERGY STAR qualified DVD products use as little as one quarter of the energy used by standard models.
• You can find the ENERGY STAR label on everything from standard TVs, to HD-ready TVs, to the largest flat-screen plasma TVs.
