Televisions, VCRs, and DVDs
Home Audio Equipment
| The ENERGY STARŪ can be found on televisions, VCRs, DVDs, and home audio equipment. You may not be aware, but when your television is turned off it's still using electricity. Electric loads that are low in power, usually 20 watts or less, but run continuously are called "phantom loads." Phantom loads consume lots of energy, but aren't obvious. This is true for appliances that use remote controls to turn the power on and off or have lighting displays. |

Televisions, VCRs, and DVDs
Televisions that have earned the ENERGY STAR require three watts or less of power when turned off, while traditional models use as much as 12 watts when turned off. That's a 75 percent savings in energy use. VCRs and VCR/DVD combo units that have earned the ENERGY STAR require 4 watts or less of power when turned off, while traditional models use as much as 13 watts when turned off. In the case of DVDs, the requirement is one watt or less when the machine is turned off.
Home Audio Equipment
Home audio equipment that has earned the ENERGY STAR require one watt or less of power when turned off. Home audio products include cassette decks, CD players/changers, clock radios, stereo receivers, powered speakers, and much more.
