Customer Reviews
Delivered within 48 hours the whole system comes in one large and very heavy box - the polystyrene packing is a work of art! Having spent a whole evening unpacking, assembling and setting up for basic operation, I was anxious to assess the sound quality, compared to my more orthodox previous 'hi-fi' amp/speaker combo. First impressions were that the system didn't have quite the 'weight' of sound I was used to, but after playing a selection of CD's I realised that I was listening to a system with different characteristics rather than inferior sound quality. In terms of bass response, as the music increases in volume, the sub kicks in and lends plenty of weight and in fact, for a budget priced system, the bass is very musical and not at all 'bump/thump'. All in all, a clear sound, plenty of power in reserve, only needing about a third of the available volume in quite a large room. There is a useful 'loudness' setting for low level listening and this effectively increases bass response at low volume - there is also scope for adjusting all the speakers for individual volume.
Next step was to tune the FM radio presets, very quick and easy to do. The whole system sounds great and looks very impressive and certainly looks like it cost a lot more money than it did.
So, why the 4 stars and not 5? Well, whilst I would not hesitate to recommend this LG system on the basis of sound quality and value for money, there are a few caveats to be aware of. I was surprised that there are no speaker fronts to offer any protection to the delicate looking drive units, particularly the soft-dome tweeters on the front and middle speakers. No problem in a child free environment, but anyone with young children with inquisitive fingers would be advised to turn the speakers around (when not in use) to protect them from damage.
Another issue is that when I press the 'standby' button on my Samsung TV remote, (to put the TV into standby mode) it also turns the LG receiver off. This isn't a problem at the end of a viewing session, but if you are accessing anything on the LG system menu on the TV screen(tuning a radio station in or adjusting settings etc) when I then turn the TV off, the LG goes off as well, meaning I have to turn the LG on again. Not a big deal but annoying. It may just be a one off and chances are you won't have this issue depending on the make and model of your TV. (The handset for the LG can be set to give basic TV operation for a range of makes and models of TV but this is nothing to do with the issue I have.)
A final gripe is that the terminals on the back of the speakers and the main receiver unit, are all spring clips (not proper binding posts as on dedicated hi-fi gear) and if, like me, you try and use higher quality cables, you will have to carefully trim the exposed copper strands before it will locate in the terminals. Not a problem for people setting up a system for the first time but I was using my existing QED cables that were already buried under the carpet!
So there you go, a rather long-winded review but I hope it makes sense. When I have purchased my first Blu-Ray disc I will update this review with some information on picture quality. However, judging by the reviews I have read, the picture quality is superb, on both Blu-Ray and upscaled DVD discs.
If you want a great all-in-one package that looks as good as it sounds, what are you waiting for?!
Added on 13th August 2012 - Have now watched a couple of Blu-Ray movies and can report that the picture quality is superb. That's without me tweaking any of the settings on my TV or on the LG player - the picture shows great detail and very solid blacks in dark scenes. I won't be replacing any of my existing DVD's but will definitely be buying any future releases on Blu-Ray where possible.
On the subject of my LG remote inadvertently controlling my Samsung TV - I think I have found out what is going on. A facility called 'SIMPLINK' is a means for one piece of LG kit controlling another, as inputs are switched on and off etc. (A quick Google search revealed a whole lot of info.) What I hadn't realised was that Samsung have a similar system called Anynet+, which works with SIMPLINK, and this is why it appeared that my remote controls were conflicting. In reality it was control signals being sent down the HDMI cable that was causing my problem. I have now disabled the 'Anynet+' feature on my Samsung TV and now I can control both pieces of kit completely independently. Perfect! (Disappointing that LG's customer services couldn't point me in this direction when I contacted them.)
Still only 4 stars though due to the poor terminal clips on the speakers and amp and the lack of any protective speaker grilles.
Set up
The set up was very very simple. could not have been easier really. With 2 HDMI ports at the back i have a total of 6 HDMI devices connected to this thing! an AUX cable for my tablets and MP3 players and the the iPod USB is great for parties
Design
The design of the speakers look stunning, it stands out in any room, the only downside is it loves fingerprints and LOVES DUST! if you don't mind dusting everyday then should not be a problem.
The bluray player is touch screen at the front and also has a very stylish look
The speaker wire for the rear speakers is more enough to go around my room but the front speaker wire could be a bit longer. However don't let this put you off because you can easily buy and replace the wire for pennies
Sound Quality
The home cinema comes with many presets to fit a sound you a prefer, I prefer "Bass" as it gives everything a big kick an you can even feel the sub vibrating the sofa and come up through your feet without getting distorted at all. If the presets aren't for you. You can create your own.
Once you can find a program on sky that produces DD 5.1 ( it will appear as DD 3.2.1 on your surround sound screen ) the speakers really do come to life, When watching movies the voice and the music don't get mixed up so no turning the volume up and down on the action/voice parts of the film.
That is if you can find something in DD.5.1 via SKYHD!! I spent ages trying to find out why im only getting PCM 2.0 with SKYHD. It turns out you can only get DD 5.1 with SKYHD if you connect it directly to the surround via optical! which is very annoying and makes you need an optical switcher to change the output to other devices without having to unplug it! (every other device can transfer 5.1 via HDMI) Once i had the thing set up. i had to find something on sky that was in DD 5.1 and not DD 2.0. i am kind of shocked how many little programs on sky do not broadcast in 5.1!
If you come across the same problem. press the "3D sound" button on the remote and you will get sound in all speakers which is a nice feature on this player
after that moan about sky, the sound quality is brilliant for bluray movies, games and stuff that is in 5.1, if you want to get the most out of the sound, look on for a surround sound tester, some stuff will really blow you away and think the sound is coming from outside!
Features
I have spent a fair bit of time trying to find this web browser that is advertises and how to add more apps like netflix to the quick start bar at the bottom, i've had no luck but as the cinema supports DLNA (Digital Living Network Alliance) i can connect my tablet via WiFi and streaming videos, music and photos!
The main feature i use is the USB, the player reads just about every format you put in to it! if you back up your movies in to a 1080p DD 5.1 mkv file the player will play it just like a real disc. with AMAZING quality on sound and video!
Unlike other home cinemas i've had the player reads NTFS fortmat drives meaning there is no limit on a single file size. one of the movies I have is 20GB!
Overall
I'm so glad I waited and finally purchased this system and for the price its just amazing!! If you have any questions or want me to run any kind of test. please let me know and i will get back to you asap
Sounds great, looks very nice.
