</div></a>Not long ago we reviewed the <a href="http://energysavinggadgets.net/honeywell-ti070-econo-programmable-timer-switch/">Aube by Honeywell TI070-3W/U ECONO Programmable Timer Switch</a>.  This timer switch is integrated into the wall switch and let's you program the light up to seven days.  It can turn on and off automatically based on daylight, and it even has a random setting that is perfect when you are away from the house for an extended period of time.  Yesterday, a reader purchased what is called the solar version of this switch--the <a href="http://energysavinggadgets.net/go/amazon.php?asin=B001QFZ3YQ">Honeywell TI071/U Solar Programmable Timer Switch</a>.</p>
<p>This switch is not powered by the sun, of course.  It works and is installed just like a normal switch.  The key difference is that for each day of the week, you can choose sunset and sunrise programming or your own on and off time or one of each (e.g. sunrise and midnight).  And the switch is compatible with just about any type of lighting, including electronic ballasts, compact fluorescent lights and tungsten lighting up to 12-Ampere.  The switch can even be used with motors.</p>
<p>Here are more details on the Aube by Honewell T1071/U Solar Programmable Timer Switch:</p>

<p class="aw_description">Offering easy installation and flexible seven-day programming, the Aube by Honeywell TI071 ECONOSWITCH Seven-Day Solar Programmable Wall Switch helps save money by ensuring that your lights come on only when you need them. This unit works with motors and all types of lighting, and it is ideal for indoor or outdoor use. SA and UL listed, the ECONOSWITCH switch features a sleek design that fits flush against a standard wall plate (not included) for seamless integration into your existing decor.TI071 ECONOSWITCHSeven-Day Solar Programmable Wall SwitchAt a Glance:Programmable wall switch saves money and energyWorks with motors and incandescent, halogen, and fluorescent lighting7-day programming--up to 14 events per week3 operating modes: manual, automatic, and randomSleek design mounts flush with wall plate3-year warrantySave money by ensuring your lights come on only when you need them.Customized Lighting Saves Money and EnergyWhether you want your outdoor lights to come on only at night, or your indoor lights to randomly turn on and off when you're away from home, the ECONOSWITCH is a great way to gain peace of mind. This programmable timer switch can help make you feel more secure and can also save you money on energy costs.The ECONOSWITCH's three modes of operation make it easy to create a customized lighting program that fits your lifestyle. The manual mode operates via a conventional on/off switch. The automatic mode turns lights on/off at sunset and sunrise, or on at sunset and off at your own programmed time--this mode also adjusts for daylight saving. You can also choose vacation mode, which randomly activates your lights to simulate a presence when you're away from home.Fast Installation and Easy ProgrammingThanks to clear instructions and labeled wires, the ECONOSWITCH is quick and easy to install and program. The intuitive three-button interface makes it simple to create up to seven programs per week--the programs can apply to a single day or the entire week via a single-pole three-wire (line, load, and neutral) connection (1,800-watt maximum; 3/4 horsepower at 120 volts). Additionally, for each day of the week, you can choose sunset/sunrise programming, specific on/off times, or both.And when the seasons change, you can count on your lights turning on only when outside conditions warrant--automatic daylight saving updates mean you don't have to reprogram.Versatile Unit Features Backlit Display and LEDDesigned for versatility, the ECONOSWITCH works with motors and all types of lighting. It's compatible with electronic ballasts, compact fluorescent lights, and tungsten lighting up to 12 Amperes. For further convenience, a large, white backlit display includes a night light mode for easy reading in dark areas. There's also a confirmation LED for at-a-glance load status (on or off).Dimensions and Warranty InformationThe ECONOSWITCH T1071 Seven-Day Solar Programmable Wall Switch measures 1.7 by 2.7 by 1.7 inches (W x H x D) and is backed by a three-year warranty.About Aube: Comfort, Quality, and SavingsSince 1991 the Aube brand has symbolized quality, precision, and trust.

<h3>Reviews</h3>

<p class="aw_review">Depending on your cost of electricity and power use of your load, it may not be justified on a cost basis, but it sure looks neat and functions well.  It's straightforward to install and relatively easy to program.  By default, it turns the load on at dusk (as determined by the lat/long and time you program in), and turns the load off at 11PM.  It's very easy to adjust this to a dusk-dawn lighting schedule, random, or simple manual operation.  Seems like a great product so far.</p>
<p class="aw_review">Replaced two Intermatic switches which had served well for 8-9 years but would not work with CFL or LED bulbs, with two, TI072 Honeywell Aube switches.  Found the Aube switches much easier to set up and program, and after installation, they work exactly as represented with less than 40 wants of load on each switch from 2, CFL bulbs.</p>
<p class="aw_review">This worked exactly has I hoped it would.  It looks great, easy to install and hasn't missed a beat in months.  I did  more research than necessary because I was confused after reading some of the other reviews.  This timer uses what I would consider standard 2-wire (plus ground) connections.  Some of the reviews say it needs 3-wire.  Yes 3 total wires (Power, Neutral, and ground), but that is typically referred to as 2-wire.  So I was sweating not being able to use CFL bulbs because of the power requirements of the other model, but this one works perfectly with CFL and doesn't need the 40watt total to function.  
I'm using it to turn my outside lights on and couldn't be happier with it.  It a little costly, but worth it.  Love the auto-adjust feature so I don't have to adjust for sunset.
I'll probably get another soon to control more outdoor lights.</p>
<p class="aw_review">TI071/U - Great timer that works well!  Works with CFL lights.  I was a little disappointed at first to find it does not detect darkness to turn on the circuit - the solar part of the name refers to it using your longitude/latitude (which you set) to determine the time to turn on/off the circuit based on your local sunrise/sunset times.  It turns out that this works better as it's not subject to being disrupted by street lights or someone turning on another light near the switch.  Be careful when connecting it as you will need to find a neutral (typically white) wire which hopefully exists in your box, and you may have to guess as to which of the black wires on the switch you are replacing is the load and which is the line.  There also is no ground connection.  It's worth reviewing the instructions for programming as there are many options, but by default it will turn on at sunset and off at 11pm.</p>
<p class="aw_review">I only wish I had found this Aube/Honeywell timer before I bought the three Intermatic timers I bought, two of which have failed.  I just installed this Aube TI071.  It was quick and easy to install and intuitive to program.  I was concerned with an Amazon review stating that the supplied wiring diagram was wrong; I e-mailed Aube customer support and they quickly replied that the diagram provided is correct, and so is the labeling on the unit.  Black=Line, Blue=Load, White=neutral.  Hooking up the neutral was a slight pain, but well worth it.  

I intend to buy another one to replace my last Intermatic when it dies.  It's well worth the $42.00.  Just set up up the solar calendar and let it take care of your outside security lights.

One of the easiest ways to do that is to recycle.  You can start right from your own home or neighborhood.  Recycling takes very little time yet it offers substantial benefits to the environment.  According to the EPA, the national recycling rate is just 30%. Increasing materials recycling in the US to 60% could save the equivalent of 315 million barrels of oil per year. Recycling is a great way individuals can make a difference, both locally and globally.</p>
<h2>Tips To Get You Started</h2>
<p>The help get you started on the right path you should <strong>visit your local recycling center</strong>.  This will allow you to find out what type of materials they accept for recycling.  From there you can set your bins up accordingly.  To find the recycling center near you call 1 800 CLEANUP.  The key to being a successful at recycling is <strong>the storage bin set up</strong>.  Once you have learned which items your local recycling center accepts you can set up your bins accordingly.</p>
<p>A good place to put your bins is the same place you put your garbage.  Once your bins are in place, recycling is easy!  It is a good idea to <strong>use plastic bags or totes</strong> to store your recycling material.  This is suggested over paper bags that can leak or just not hold up if they get wet.  Also, <strong>smaller containers</strong> are much easier to lift once they get full.  To keep your recycling process organized you should <strong>label each recycling bin</strong> to ensure the materials are separated correctly.   </p>
<p>When it comes to the bottles and tins you are recycling, you should <strong>clean them before throwing them in the recycling bin</strong>.  This will prevent flies both at home and at the recycling station.  Join the <strong><a href="http://www.freecycle.org/">Freecycle™ movement</a></strong>.  The idea is simple: you give away for free what you have and don’t need and you receive for free what you need, but don’t have. This ‘free cycle’ of goods keeps lots of useful stuff out of landfill sites and is about thinking globally and recycling locally.  Finally, The value of recyclables is driven by market demand. As consumers, we must choose products with <strong>recycled content and packaged in recycled materials</strong>, so that the materials we recycle are put to use, and markets are sustained.                   </p>
<h2>15 Recyclable Items At Home</h2>
<ul>
<li><strong>Newspapers</strong>:  You should these in their own bin, as this material goes directly back into newsprint recycling. Recycling a four-foot stack of newspapers saves the equivalent of one 40-foot fir tree.</li>
<li><strong>Magazines, Flyers or 'inserts, Phone Books, Envelopes, Paper</strong>:  These can be saved together in one bin. Staples in paper are acceptable, but remove rubber bands or plastic wrap.  Do not include the following in your paper recycling: carbon paper, stickers, cardboard, laminated paper, laminated cardboard.</li>
<li><strong>Plastic-Lined Paper Drink Cartons</strong>:  These are recyclable. Most recycling centers now accept these items but be sure to ask.  Discard fast food wrappers made from plastic, dirty or food-stained paper tissues or napkins.</li>
<li><strong>Corrugated Cardboard</strong>:  This is a highly valued recyclable material. Most curbside collectors ask you to bale the cardboard together and tie it with string. You should check to see if there are size and weight limits to how much you are allowed to bale together. The most important thing to remember is to keep it dry. Plastic or waxy coated, and wet or greasy cardboard, such as pizza boxes, cannot be recycled because it clogs sorting machines.</li>
<li><strong>Plastic Bottles</strong>:  They are usually made of #1 PET plastic, a valuable recyclable material. Among many other items, this plastic can be "spun' into fleece fabric. Tops should be removed before recycling, and put in with your general plastic items. Polycarbonate baby bottles (#7 plastic) are not recyclable.  Because it is difficult to clean PET plastic without releasing harmful chemicals, bottles made of PET should not be reused.</li>
<p><more></p>
<blockquote><p>Plastic goods are assigned different numbers to grade them for recycling</strong>:  #1 (PET) and #2 (HDPE) for containers, #4 (LDPE) for bags, #7 for mixed plastics such as polycarbonates that are not recyclable. Almost all recycling centers accept plastics #1 and 2.</p></blockquote>
<li><strong>Plastic Grocery Bags</strong>:  Most grocery bags are made of high density polyethylene, a Type 2 recyclable plastic. Most grocery stores have bins outside so customers can drop off used plastic bags for recycling.</li>
<li><strong>Polystyrene</strong>: (#6) (cups, food trays, egg cartons, etc) are not biodegradable. Ask if your recycling center accepts polystyrene for recycling; many now accept this material. Try to reduce your use of this material.</li>
<li><strong>Glass</strong>:  This is recycled according to color clear,  green and brown. Recycling centers prefer it when glass is separated this way. Collectively, these types of glass are referred to as "container" glass, and widely accepted for recycling.  The paper labels can be left on the glass.</li>
<li><strong>Store Lightbulbs, Sheet Glass, Mirrors and Pyrex</strong>: Store these separately from bottles, since they have a different composition and melting points, and not all centers accept these materials.</li>
<li><strong>Food Cans</strong>:   They should be rinsed and have lids and labels removed. It helps if they are flattened, although many new cans are difficult to flatten; they should still be recycled.</li>
<li><strong>Aluminum Cans</strong>:  They are very valuable as recyclable items. Many recycling centers request they be not crushed flat. Check locally.</li>
<li><strong>Aluminum Foil and Foil Packaging</strong>:  These are also important to recycle; they are reprocessed into aluminum mechanical components, such as engine parts.</li>
<li><strong>Computers, Printers and Hardware</strong>: The simplest solution to recycling your old computer is to ask a local school or put a notice on a community bulletin board offering your computer free for the taking. Many people without a computer will still find use with the word processor and basic programs.</li>
<li><strong>Paint cans, aerosol cans</strong>:  These are recyclable, but are considered hazardous waste and need to be kept separate from other metals. It is important to leave labels on these cans, as recyclers need to know the former contents. Try to return the lids along with empty paint cans.
<li><strong>Cell Phones and Rechargeable Batteries:</strong> Office Depot will collect, free of charge, all old cell phones and used rechargeable batteries for recycling, including Nickel Cadmium (Ni-Cd), Nickel Metal Hydride (Ni-MH), Lithium Ion (Li-ion), and Small Sealed Lead (Pb) weighing less than 2 lbs/1 kg. These batteries are also commonly found in other portable office electronics products including cordless phones, laptop computers, PDAs, digital cameras, and portable printers. </li>
</ul>
<blockquote><p>You can also call 1-800-8-BATTERY to find out which stores in your area have free recycling programs for rechargeable batteries.</p></blockquote>

</p><p><strong>Perform an Energy Audit</strong><br />
One of the first steps you should take in "greening" your home theater is to perform an energy audit.  By doing this you can locate the inefficiencies that are costing you money.  These inefficiencies can come form electronic devices that use more energy than needed,  inefficient lighting, and even drafty windows and outlets.  Performing an audit will help you pinpoint the exact locations that are using excessive energy and from there you can make repairs or replace devices with ones that are better qualified for saving energy.  There are many products available that will get you started with your audit and start saving you money. Some items that have been featured on ESG that can help you with your audit are:   <a href="http://energysavinggadgets.net/make-your-home-energy-efficent-with-the-leak-detector/">The Thermal Leak Detector</a>, <a href="http://energysavinggadgets.net/an-all-in-one-surge-protector-and-watt-monitor/">P4320 Kill-A-Watt Power Strip</a>, and the  <a href="http://energysavinggadgets.net/watt%e2%80%99s-up-internet-enabled-electricity-meter/">Watts Up Internet Enabled Power Meter</a>.</p>
<p><a href="http://energysavinggadgets.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/energy-star-logo.gif"><img src="http://energysavinggadgets.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/energy-star-logo.gif" alt="energy star logo" title="energy star logo" width="100" height="100" class="alignright size-full wp-image-2344" /></a></p>
<p><strong>Use Energy Efficient Products</strong><br />
The typical home-theater setup includes a TV set with cable or satellite hookup, a DVD/CD player, a receiver, and two to eight speakers.  It is reported that home electronic products such as the ones used in home theaters make up about 15% of a household's annual electricity bill and many of these products are using energy even when they are in the off position.  </p>
<p>Energy Star products use up to 30% less energy than products that don't meet the government standards.  Setting up your home theater system involves choosing between a vast array of components from different manufacturers. Purchasing an integrated system is sometimes the most green approach because each individual item in the package is designed to work together and save the most energy.  Here are some quick links to Energy Star components:</p>
<ul>
<li><a href="http://energysavinggadgets.net/eco-tvs/">Energy Star TVs</a></li>
<li><a href="http://energysavinggadgets.net/products/energy-star-electronics/dvd-systems/">Energy Star DVDs</a></li>
<li><a href="http://energysavinggadgets.net/energy-star-audio-home-theater/">Energy Star Integrated Home Theater Systems</a></li>
</ul>
<p>One eco-friendly option is to consider buying <a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&#038;location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2Fs%3Fie%3DUTF8%26redirect%3Dtrue%26ref%255F%3Dsr%255Fnr%255Fp%255Fn%255Fcondition-type%255F1%26bbn%3D554356011%26qid%3D1257423388%26rnid%3D2224369011%26rh%3Dn%253A172282%252Cn%253A%252113900851%252Cn%253A%2521513014%252Cn%253A%2521251255011%252Cn%253A409207011%252Cn%253A1264677011%252Cn%253A554356011%252Cp%255Fn%255Fcondition-type%253A2224372011&#038;tag=energysavinggadgets-20&#038;linkCode=ur2&#038;camp=1789&#038;creative=390957">refurbished components</a>, this can save resources and money while not sacrificing performance. If you are upgrading your current system remember to recycle the old components.  Consider several eco-friendly options for getting rid of your old equipment. If all the items are still operational, donate them to a church or school, post an on-line ad, or sell them at a garage sale. If the equipment is beyond repair, visit earth 911 to find the closest recycling drop-off centers nearest you. </p>
<p><strong>Use Energy-Efficient Lighting</strong><br />
<a href="http://energysavinggadgets.net/a-bright-idea-save-energy-with-led-bulbs/2009061740/">LED light bulbs</a> have been around for years, but it has only been recently that their quality has been improved enough for them to be used as a primary light source. Like with many products we use, not all are created equal which is why it is recommended to choose LED lighting that meets the Energy Star requirements. You know when your buying an Energy Star product it has been tested and meets strict efficiency and performance criteria. Energy Star qualified LED lighting uses at least 75% less energy than incandescent lighting which means you can expect to reduce your energy bill just by changing out your light bulbs. All Energy Star LED lighting comes with a minimum three year warranty which exceeds the industry standards. LED bulbs are not nearly as fragile and they won't break like a typical bulb.</p>
<p><strong>Use A Programmable Thermostat</strong><br />
One sure way to lower your heating and cooling bill is to use a <a href="http://energysavinggadgets.net/search-results/?cx=partner-pub-5754912838245283%3A80rj2o-e45v&#038;cof=FORID%3A10&#038;ie=ISO-8859-1&#038;q=programmable+thermostats&#038;sa=Search#1129">programmable thermostat</a>. These thermostat is designed to help you save money and conserve energy all while reducing your impact on the environment. They are typically easy to use and allow you to program your settings five to seven days at a time. The average household spends $2,200 a year on energy bills and half of that goes towards heating and cooling. By properly setting a programmable thermostat you could save about $180 a year on your energy bill. </p>
<p><strong>Don't Waste Energy</strong><br />
Even if you don't own Energy Star  or your just not ready to upgrade, you can still take steps to control power usage around your home.  The most obvious one is to turn off equipment and lights when you aren't using them. Many electronics aren't really off when they're in the off position and since unplugging all your electronics when they aren't in use is a bit impractical you should consider using a product like the <a href="http://energysavinggadgets.net/go/amazon.php?asin=B00091UBCC">Niles' APC-2 current-sensing switcher</a>.  As the name suggests, this product senses when you turn on the receiver and switches on the rest of the equipment or turns the equipment off when not in use. </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://energysavinggadgets.net/brother-hl-5250dn/" title="Permanent link to Brother HL-5250DN"><img class="post_image alignleft" src="http://energysavinggadgets.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/brother-hl-5250dn.jpg" width="280" height="280" alt="Brother HL-5250DN" /></a>
</p><p>When it comes to energy efficiency, not all printers are created equal.  One printer that delivers both energy star efficiency and double-sided printing capabilities is the the <a href="http://www.energysavinggadgets.net/ecostore.php?c=Printers&#038;n=554360011&#038;i=B000BQ535K&#038;x=Brother_HL_5250DN_Network_Ready_Laser_Printer_with_Duplex">Brother HL-5250DN</a> Network Ready Laser Printer.  The 5250 is a monochrome printer with several features normally found in more expensive options:</p>
<ul>
<li>Network-ready monochrome printer ideal for small workgroups
<li>Built-in duplex feature easily prints 2-sided documents</li>
<li>Up to 30 ppm with a resolution of up to 1200 x 1200 dpi</li>
<li>Built-in Ethernet network interface brings workgroup together</li>
<li>Dimensions: 14.6 x 9.7 x 15.1 in. (WxHxD); weighs 21.6 pounds</li>
</li>
</ul>
<p>The printer is also capable of watermark printing and poster printer. The printer's ability to create two-sided printouts reduces the demand for paper. The printer is very easy to connect into shared networks so several employees within the same office environment can use the same printer easy and effectively. This has the obvious benefit of reducing office costs dramatically since the need to purchase multiple printers is eliminated. Another popular cost shaving feature on this printer is the toner saving option. Since the printer is designed to save and preserve the toner, this will also cut back on costs and allow an office to operate with peak cost efficiency.</p>
<p>The Brother HL-5250DN has also received a excellent Energy Star rating which means the electricity usage it requires is minimal and efficient.  On average, ENERGY STAR-qualified imaging equipment that meets the new imaging equipment specification is 25 percent more efficient than conventional models. This would save consumers more than $3 billion over the next five years and avoid greenhouse gas emissions equivalent to the annual emissions of more than 4 million vehicles.  This year, approximately 225 million imaging equipment products will consume more than $8.5 billion in energy, accounting for 3 percent of U.S. electricity expenditures. </p>
<p>Overall, the Brother HL-5250DN is an excellent printer for home or office use. It delivers on all expectations and does not come with a high price tag either. As such, it can be one of the best printer purchasing options available.</p>

</p><p><strong>Eco Golf Balls</a></strong></p>
<p>This biodegradable golf ball is a great alternative because this type of ball has no negative effects on the environment.  If this ball lands in the water it might put a damper on your golf score, but it won’t hurt the environment.  </p>
<p>The ball is constructed out of a Water-Soluble polymer non-toxic material similar to those found in agrochemical packaging, laundry bags, and food packaging, which allows the ball to dissolve in the water.  The microorganism that is contained in the material causes the solid to turn into carbon dioxide and water.  <a href="http://www.ecogolfballs.com/">The Eco Golf Ball</a> is also 100% safe for marine life.  </p>
<p><img src="http://energysavinggadgets.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/golf-tee2-150x135.jpg" alt="golf-tee2" title="golf-tee2" width="150" height="135" class="alignleft size-thumbnail wp-image-1003" /><strong>Golf Tee XT - 1 </strong></p>
<p>The <a href="http://xt1golf.com/">XT-1</a> will allow you to play a part in creating a cleaner environment as well as reducing the need to cut down precious trees.  The design of the XT-1 comes from the aeronautical industry, as a tee is a platform to launch a golf ball.  The X shape with its upward funnels decrease the resistance on impact with the golf club and channel the air upwards under the ball assisting with lift to create a clean strike. These golf tees are completely 100% biodegradable and won’t chip mower blades either!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><a class="post_image_link" href="http://energysavinggadgets.net/google-powermeter/" title="Permanent link to Google PowerMeter"><img class="post_image aligncenter" src="http://energysavinggadgets.net/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/google-powermeter.gif" width="500" height="281" alt="Google PowerMeter" /></a>
</p><p>The Google PowerMeter underscores, at least for me, why a company like Google is head and shoulders above a company like Yahoo!  It's called innovation.  Google does it; Yahoo! doesn't.  The idea behind Google PowerMeter is simple.  With the use of smart meters, homeowners and business can monitor their electricity usage via the internet.  Here's how the good folks at Google describe the project:</p>
<blockquote><p>
Google PowerMeter, now in prototype, will receive information from utility smart meters and energy management devices and provide anyone who signs up access to her home electricity consumption right on her iGoogle homepage. The graph below shows how someone could use this information to figure out how much energy is used by different household activities.</p></blockquote>
<p>Some Google employees have been testing the system, and the results speak for themselves:</p>
<blockquote><p>"After installing Google PowerMeter, we immediately switched out all our lights for CFLs and our usage dropped by about 13%. Now I continue to use the product to monitor our baseload and if it's unusually high, it probably means that I've left one of our silent computers on."--Karen, Google Program Manager</p></blockquote>
<blockquote><p>"By monitoring my energy use, I figured out that the bulk of my electricity was caused by my two 20-year-old fridges, my incandescent lights and my pool pump, which was set to run more than necessary. By replacing the refrigerators with new energy-efficient models, the lights with CFLs and setting the pool pump to only run at specified intervals, I've saved $3,000 in the past year and I am on track to save even more this year! "--Russ, Google Hardware Engineer</p></blockquote>
<p>Russ needs to get off the grid.  Anyway, check out this video of <a href="http://www.google.org/powermeter/howitworks.html">Google PowerMeter</a> that explains it all:</p>
<p><center><object width="480" height="295"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/6Dx38hzRWDQ&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/6Dx38hzRWDQ&#038;hl=en&#038;fs=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="480" height="295"></embed></object></center></p>

</p><p>When you are looking for a way to store your music DVDs or CDs then the Sony 400 Disc Changer is a must. It is remote controlled and can give you hours of listening pleasure with just a click of a button.</p>
<p>If you have a large library of music this takes care of all those stacked CD cases and allows you to put everything in one unit. This also allows you to organize your CDs or DVDs in a way that makes sense.</p>
<p>This is one of the few units that allow you to store both movie DVDs and music CDs in one space. It is almost worth having several if you have a very large collection. This one will store up to 400 for you and it also includes other formats that will allow you to see photos as well as incorporate downloads you have saved.</p>
<p>Not only will you get high quality audio but you will also get high quality video. The video is high grade at 1080i/720p resolution and it includes Dolby Digital® and DTS 5.1 channel outputs. This changer is compatible with a variety of different interfaces including DVD-RW/-R/+RW/+R, JPEG, MP3, SVCD playback, VCD, and CD-RW/-R.</p>
<p>One important feature of the Sony 400 Disc Changer is that it is Energy Star rated so it saves energy when you use it. It is a very easy to use; although it seems a bit slow in the changing of discs.</p>
<p>A feature that will make everyone's job easier is that you can choose your CD or DVD by title, number or you can scroll through them. This is a handy feature because it allows you to get to the item you want quickly.</p>
<p>One drawback for this product may be the fact that it can only be shipped to an address in the United States and it must be shipped to the billing address. They are pretty strict on this requirement. This of course applies to those ordering online but it is something to note; you will also get a heavy item shipping charge added to your total.</p>
<p>There is a bit of a learning curve on this Sony 400 Disc Changer unit to make sure that you understand all of the features. Users say it is worth the extra effort to totally use this unit because it has a lot of information when you first get it.</p>
