Home Audio & DVD Key Product Criteria

Definitions:

Audio/Video (AV) Product: A mains-connected product that offers Audio Amplification and/or Optical Disc Player functions.

Effective Date: May 1, 2013

Key Efficiency Criteria
Product Function	Auto Power Down Requirements
Default Auto Power Down	Default Timing < 2 Hours
Available Auto Power Down Settings	If APD timing is set by default to no more than 30 minutes and APD cannot be disabled or increased to greater than 30 minutes, product does not have to meet Idle state power consumption requirements.

Product Function	Sleep Mode Power Consumption Limits (W)
Base (All Products)	1.0
In-use Networking / Control Protocol with Wake Capability	1.0
In-use Wi-Fi or Gigabit Ethernet Protocols with Wake Capability (Applied to Either Wi-Fi or Gigabit Ethernet, but Not Both Simultaneously)	2.0

Product Function	On Mode Power Allowance, P_ON (watts)
SD or Audio Source Optical Disc Player: Playback Test	6.0
SD Source to HD Output "Upconversion" Optical Disk Player: Playback Test	10.0
HD Source Optical Disc Player: Playback Test	10.5

Product Function		On Mode Power Allowance, P_{ADD_i} (watts, rounded to the nearest 0.1 W for reporting)
High Resolution Display		P_ON = (6 × R) + (0.05 × A) + 3.0 Where: R is the display resolution (x * y) in megapixels A is the viewable screen area in square inches
In-use Networking / Control Protocol		1.0
In-use Wi-Fi or Gigabit Ethernet Protocols (Applied to Either Wi-Fi or Gigabit Ethernet, but Not Both Simultaneously)		2.0
Audio Amplification Where: P_OUT is the output power at 1/8 MUP with 1kHz sinusoidal input	P_OUT ≤ 50 watts	5.0
	P_OUT > 50 watts	(0.1 x P_OUT)

Product Function		Idle State Power Allowance, P_{IDLE_i} (watts, rounded to the nearest 0.1 W for reporting)
Base (All Products)		5.0
In-use Networking / Control Protocol		1.0
In-use Wi-Fi or Gigabit Ethernet Protocols (Applied to Either Wi-Fi or Gigabit Ethernet, but Not Both Simultaneously)		2.0
Audio Amplification Where: P_OUT is the output power at 1/8 MUP with 1kHz sinusoidal input	P_OUT ≤ 50 watts	5.0
	P_OUT > 50 watts	(0.1 x P_OUT)

Amplifier Input Power at 1/8 MUP with 1 kHz Sinusoidal Input, P_IN (W)	Version 3.0 Minimum Amplifier Efficiency, η
P_IN < 20	N/A
20 ≤ P_IN < 100	0.44
P_IN ≥ 100	0.55

Note: P_IN = Output Power @ 1/8 MUP 1kHz Sine Wave
