It may be hard to believe, but 75 percent of the electricity used by home electronic equipment is consumed when
the products are turned off. That's because they're not really "off" -- they're on standby mode, using electricity
to power features like clocks, remote controls and channel/station memory.
ENERGY STAR® qualified electronics typically use half or even less than half as much energy in standby
without sacrificing any of those important features. You save money on your energy bills and prevent the
pollution caused by energy waste.
