Manufacturer's Description
DVD home cinema system
Play DVDs with improved picture quality and 300W of audio output from this compact LG home cinema system
SB Direct Recording
With USB Ripping, you can connect a compatible MP3 player to the LG product’s USB port and record or ‘rip’ music from a CD directly to the MP3 player. The tracks will be copied onto the MP3 player in the order they appear on the CD. This great feature enables you to copy music on a MP3 player without the need for a computer!
USB Plus
Playback videos, photos and music via USB storage device via the LG player onto your TV.
1080P upscaling
DVD or Blu-ray players featuring 1080P up scaling can improve the picture quality of a Standard Definition (SD) DVD to that of Full High Definition (FHD) 1080P picture by using the HDMI connection and filling in the missing details. For the ultimate picture, a Blu-ray disc will provide all the detailed picture quality without the need for picture to be up scaled.
DivX
DivX is a file format that allows movies to be compressed and fit onto a CD, as a DivX movie is about 8 to 12 time smaller than a DVD. DivX playback on LGs video and audio products allow you to download DivX movies from the Internet onto a CD or USB stick, to then enjoy in the comfort of your living room.

i just bought this home cinema system and when i've set it up my rear speaker wont play any sound but when i do the test they work fine i have it kinked to my tv with the hdmi cable and link to my sky box with rca cables what am i oing wrong if you could help that would be great.
-
I wish I could help, if it tests OK, maybe the broadcast isnt surround or you have the wrong function selected on the handset? No other ideas, sorry!
-
have you pressed youre audio preset to prologic 2 movie on youre remote this key looks like a music note it is marked up as eq then a picture of a music note it is under the key that says lg eq just keep pushing the button till you see prologicIImovie appear then you should recieve surround sound you should be good to go hope this helps please keep me posted

Hi i have just bought this system and found there are no wall mounts could you tell me what type i need as there is a screw hole in the back speakers is there a specific mount size for these screws as there is no details in the box thanks. Darren
-
Helo I know what you mean I have had that problem But I did order Universal Speaker Wall Mount brackets from Amazon I have not got them yet but was told to get them If you go into a currys store they will advise you better I hope that I helped a little.
-
I had screws with fine threads and tride these they are like ones you get in electric sockets for the wall and then i just made brackets to fit and put them at an angle.

How do you hook up an ipod or iphone to play the music through the speakers?
-
On the front of the dvd player just under the eject button there is a panel you can flip down it is hiden , there are 2 outputs & one is a usb port so you can put ur ipod ( i have an ipod classic and it works really well and easy) or usb stick if you have music or movies or even picture on your usb/ ipod you can see on screen. Remember before you put in your ipod or usb press the function button on your control until it says usb
hope i have helped need anymore help just let me know -
there is a phono jack under the flap by the usb imput you need to know which leads you need to connect the phone to the dvd player then toggle through the settings using function button on dvd remote then it should sort it out
-
-
Hi i can't play video files from the usb unit. i 've tried on the tv (ld460) and it works fine, but no luck from that equipment
-
Sorry, I only use mine for TV and DVD never tried usb video or other. Good luck!
Paul -
Sorry, but have not tried that yet, Have only used it to play data discs ,DVD's but not tried through USB yet but will try and see what happens in the next couple of days. will let you know. Margaret
-
Yes I have on the front of the dvd player there is a bit were you pull it down there you will see a usb prt before putting it in change the function to usb before doing it then place your usb in and it will take a min to read your usb then follow the on screen instruction hope that helps you
-
I tried the USB and it is working you have to do what jayne says but i looked up instructions and they say that it does not support all USB's But i have played music and also photo's etc and it is easy to use. Margaret
-
-
how do i link up this system to play through my tv??
-
it should do it via hdmi cable then on youre dvd remote push the function button till tv/audio scrolls across the dvd player failling this you might have to connect via scart lead but this will not be able to upscale to hd quality hope this helps
-
I agree with Chris, use scart or HDMI for flat screen tv. It works fine with our T, the important bit is setting the remote function button to TV
-
also you have to set the eq button to set the sound to go through the speakers
-
if using satelite box you have to set function to AUX to get it to play through TV
-
-
Are the speakers wireless? I won't be able to put the wires anywhere if it isn't. Really would help, THNX!
-
no , sorry they are wired. but the wires are VERY THIN and easy to hide.
-
NO - They're not wireless.
Especially for this price - wireless have the problem of having to be powered, do you plug them in to a power supply or keep feeding them batteries which will loose power over time? Also there could be a problem with interference.
As with all 5.1 there will be a lot of wires to have to route around the room. The wires are fairly thin so can be hidden quite well. -
Hello
The speakers all have wires
They are not wireless
-
-
how long are the wires for the rear speaker???
-
Not long enough and I didnt measure them before extending them sorry
-
about 8 ft which is plenty for the size of our living room
-
-
has this system got a scart lead
-
System supplied requires leads to connect to external systems/sources. For HD visual output you would be best to use your own HDMI cables. See product's full connection specifications for available options.
-
no scart lead supplied it has scart socket on the back, but you will get far better results with hmdi lead hope this helps.

-
can i connect my xbox 360 to this?
thanks-
If you have a HDMI input or if you do not have a hd tv you can set the system to tv sound and ply it like that
-
-
can i connect this to my xbox 360?
thanks-
sorry Ross I don,t know ,looking at the owner,s manual there,s no info about xbox 360 only mp3 players etc
-
-
i have not got the start up manual can any one tell me where i can buy one
-
Sorry, no.
I think it is supplied on CD.
Possibly you could download one fro the LG website. -
you should be able to download from lg website

Hi, i bought this system and i am wondering if it is possible for me to connect my plasma tv to it so that my tv sound should be heard on this system speakers instead of on my tv. Also if its possible, how do i do that? what connections do i need to get the tv sound play on it.
Thanks.
Brendan-
hi, brendon, yes you can connect it , if you got to a good electrical out let or maybe argos , and tell them what you want to do they will have the lead, or will tell you what its called so you can get one off ebay, i hope this helps , all the best steve.
-
Yes you can only if you have an HDMI cable from TV to System
-
may be possible if you use right left channels and monitor jacks on back to tv but im guessing i know you won't via scart or hdmi leads these are dvd to tv not tv to dvd
-
-
can i connect it to my virgin h+ box and if so what leads do i need? I also have an LG tv. thank you.
-
as we have free view from a digital Ariel, i connected a 2 way scart from back of tv into the LG cinema system which works very well for us, hope this helps you
