Abstract
The Federal Trade Commission ("FTC" or "Commission") seeks public comment on proposed amendments to the Trade Regulation Rule Relating to Power Output Claims for Amplifiers Utilized in Home Entertainment Products ("Amplifier Rule" or "Rule"). The proposal requires sellers making power-related claims to calculate power output using uniform testing methods to allow consumers to easily compare amplifier sound quality. Additionally, the Commission seeks comment on the normal usage of multichannel home theater amplifiers.
