As an ENERGY STAR Partner, SHARP has determined that this product meets the ENERGY STAR guidelines
for energy efficiency. ENERGY STAR is a US. registered mark.
WHAT lS ENERGY STAR
TVs and VCRs use energy both when they are on and when they are off Americans spend more than $1 billion
a year on energy consumed by TVs and VCFts when they are not in use. The new ENERGY STAR models will
reduce that energy “leakage“ by up to 75 percent. Ultimately. this wrll mean more than $500 million a year in
energy savings tor consumers. ’ ‘
The energy savings will help reduce the burning ot fossil fuels and the related carbon dioxide pollution that
contributes to global warming. If every American family replaced their TVs and VCRs with ENERGY STAR
models, it would reduce carbon dioxide emissions by live million tons every year ,, equivalent to eliminating the
pollution from more than one million cars.
By using ENERGY STAR products. you will save money on your electric bills and use less energy. That makes
good economic sense and its good for our environment.
