| Product categories within the cooking program have been reorganized by AHAM and year-over-year comparisons are no longer possible. Total electric and total gas cooking comparisons are still valid. † Does not include exports. * Due to the way the weeks fall in 2007, CEA changed its reporting calendar and, consequently, month to date is not comparable. •• Includes stand-alone DVD and DVD/VCR, and in 2007 includes next-generation DVDs as well. ••• Includes direct-view and projection. Projection televisions were deleted as a category in 2005 due to changes in CEA’s reporting procedure. They are now included in the digital television category. Includes flat-panel numbers. Digital TV numbers this year cannot be compared with digital TV numbers from last year, since the reports did not include flat-panel. |
| TV, VCR, and camcorder figures are unit sales to dealers, including imports. These figures are not included in page total.
