Now Available Through U.S. Retailers, Audio Systems Blend Stylish Design
and Expert Tuning
ENGLEWOOD CLIFFS, N.J., May 27 /PRNewswire/ -- A new line of digital
audio-video products from LG Electronics, led by home theater audio
products tuned by renowned audio expert Mr. Mark Levinson, have been
introduced through national retail stores, such as Best Buy, Circuit City
and other leading electronics retailers.
Previewed at the International Consumer Electronics Show earlier this
year, the new home theater audio systems (models LHT888, LHT874, LHT854,
LFD850 and LFA840) feature distinctive designs and advanced technology,
such as enhanced sound quality and user-friendly touch sensing controls.
"LG's latest home theater and audio systems were designed to meet
consumers' desire for advanced technology that doesn't compromise the
stylish design of their homes," said Allan Jason, vice president of Sales
and Marketing for Digital Media, LG Electronics USA, Inc. "Our new systems
offer consumers the best of both worlds and truly complement the entire
entertainment experience."
Make a Statement
LG's LHT888 DVD Home Theater System is inspired by the slim, elegant
form of the champagne flute. Consumers will appreciate the unique yet
subtle silhouette of the loudspeakers that enable integration into any
premium home theater system.
Audiophiles will be pleased by the precise delivery of entertainment to
the ear, as a result of the expert tuning by Mr. Mark Levinson, senior
audio adviser to LG Electronics. Adding to the advanced functionality of
the LHT888's loudspeakers, are the multiple drivers in parabolic housings,
each with a tapered integrated pedestal.
The LHT888, available now with a manufacturer's suggested retail price
of $649.95, also features:
-- Wireless rear speakers
-- 700W 5.1-channel DVD receiver
-- 1080p Up-scaling via HDMI
-- USB Media Plus
-- HDMI output
-- LG SimpLink(TM) multi-device control (HDMI-CEC) and multi-format
playback compatibility-MP3, JPEG, MPEG
LG's new 5-Disc DVD Home Theater System (LHT874) and Single Disc DVD
Home Theater System (LHT854) both combine robust audio power with
eye-catching designs. The new home theater systems offer an array of
playback options such as iPod and USB Media Plus connectivity for quick and
easy access to digital music, photos and video. DVD1080p upscaling delivers
superior video images, and consumers will enjoy a truly integrated home
theater experience thanks to LG's SimpLink(TM) technology. This proprietary
technology allows the consumer the ability to control other LG SimpLink(TM)
devices, such as TVs or DVD players, on screen or directly from each
component with one central control.
For consumers looking to remove additional clutter, the LHT874 also
features wireless rear speakers and HDMI(TM) Input. The LHT874 and the
LHT854 carry manufacturer's suggested retail prices of $479.95 and $299.95
respectively.
Compact Design, Powerful Sound
LG's Tabletop Audio System (LFD850) and Shelf CD Audio System (LFA840)
are powerful enough to perform as a main home audio system but also compact
enough for close quarters. The LFD850 features made for iPod direct docking
and a USB Media Plus port to allow playback of music, photos and video for
a diverse set of entertainment options.
Both audio systems are designed to blend easily into the home
environment and offer robust sound and video quality. The LFD850 features
Immersive Sound Technology, which automatically adjusts volume levels based
on the acoustics in the room to provide a greater "sweet spot" and to
ensure that consumers don't miss a single note or piece of dialogue. The
LFD850 also incorporates LG's parabola design 3-inch speaker, which further
boosts the sound quality for a superior audio experience. With its
front-mounted eclipse touch panel control, the LFD850 eliminates the need
for additional knobs or buttons. It also provides red ambient lighting for
easy to use touch panel controls. Manufacturer's suggested retail prices
are $299.95 for model LFD850 and $229.95 for model LFA840.
Additional features include:
-- 2.1 Channel, 160-watt shelf system (LFD850)
-- CD playback (LFA840)
-- iPod direct dock (LFD850)
-- Vacuum-loading CD vertical slot
-- AM/FM tuner
