Philips HDT 8520 manual Reducing power consumption

1.2Reducing power consumption

Your HD recorder is designed to reduce its impact on the environment and complies with the European Directive 2009/125/EC.This is part of Philips’ ongoing commitment to lead the way in environmental responsibility.

It has a standby mode of operation that needs very little power. See the table below and please note that:

•When your HD recorder is in the standby mode, you save energy (and therefore money) and reduce carbon dioxide emissions that damage the environment.

•You use the standby button on your HD recorder or remote control to switch between on and standby modes. In addition, if your HD recorder is on, but you do not press any button on it or your remote control for 3 hours (configurable - see ‘Automatic eco mode’ on page 30), your HD recorder will automatically get into the standby mode.

•If you are not going to use your HD recorder for several days, you can cut its energy consumption to zero by unplugging it from the mains wall socket.

•In the off and standby modes, your HD recorder cannot receive updates from the network. However, at recorder wake-up, you will be prompted by a message if an update notification has been received.
