It's compact and easy to install. My sister and brother-in-law loved mine and are planning to purchase the exact same one for their home.The sound is phenomenal. I just love this sound system. And just in time for football season.
The upconvert is okay. The USB port is great for playing music. The stacked tray changer is way better than a carousel, especially for those that have space constraints. Overall, this unit is a great entry level all-in-one surround/dvd system. Also, the digital optical port does not have enough friction to hold the cable in so it is basically unusable. This unit is only about 14 inches deep. I do have issues when using the digital coax out to listen to TV in surround.for the first minute or so, the sound comes and goes, but after that it seems to work okay. Most carousel changers are around 16-18 inches deep.
I bought it from best buy for 250 and it is a huge sound for a little price. I have it hooked up with a optical audio cord and it sounds amazing. I bought this surround sound system after purchasing a samsung 40 inch 1080p tv. Wow this thing sounds great. I have my xbox 360 hooked up to it also and every grenade thrown in halo sounds perfect.
subwoofer sounds distorted as volume increases. The user manual mentions it but the specifications on websites and even LG's own specification pdf file does not.
The issue I have is that it says that it upconverts DVDs to 1080i or 720p. They don't tell you beforehand that the feature only works on non-copyprotected DVDs.
I bought this system as part of a package deal so I had read that the sound was not great. So I couldn't upconvert Blade Runner, but Pirates of the Carribean Curse of the Black Pearl will upconvert.
those reviews are correct. the sound is OK but not great.
SO now I am not sure which of the 300+ DVDs I own will upconvert.Also, the DVD changer makes a lot of noise and is slow when you open/close the drawer.
