CES 2013:
LG Introduces Powerful Audio And Video Products With Enhanced Smart TV Functions And Intuitive User Experience.
LG's 2013 Lineup Features Powerful Sound, Innovative Smart Features, And a Myriad of Connectivity Options.
Led by new sound bars, docking speakers and connected Blu-ray Disc players, LG Electronics (LG) today unveiled its 2013 audio and video lineup.
Previewing the official launch at next month's International CES® in Las Vegas,
LG announced a broad new array of products including: the BH9430PW
9.1-channel speaker system, NB4530A Sound Bar, BP730 Blu-ray player with
Smart TV features, the ND8630 Dual Docking Speaker and the NP6630
Portable Speaker. These advanced products clearly illustrate LG's
commitment to delivering users captivating audio, superior Smart TV
functionality, a highly intuitive user experience.
"A home theater system is much more than just a TV and speakers; it's a comprehensive package," said Havis Kwon,
President and CEO of LG's Home Entertainment Company. "LG offers superb
audio and video products to help consumers realize a truly immersive
home cinema experience. By implementing advanced technologies, smart
connectivity and control, LG will continue to be a leader in the audio
visual segment in 2013."
True Cinema Sound: Audio System That Rivals Theaters
LG emphasized improved sound quality with its Home Theater Systems
this year, which is best exemplified by the BH9430PW, a high-quality
surround sound speaker system designed to take the movie viewing
experience to the next level. LG opted to employ speaker cones using
high-tensile Aramid fiber, which is used in high-end home theaters and
results in a wider range of sound, including defined, deep bass with
near-zero sound distortion.
Additionally, the 9.1-channel system
creates four additional channels in addition to the typical 5.1 setup,
delivering an even more immersive audio experience. A chorus of stunning
sound is produced by the front tallboy and rear satellite speakers,
helping to fill the entire room with a soundscape that rivals that of an
actual cinema. The system's 3D Surround Processor analyzes content to
distribute sound in multiple directions while maintaining an appropriate
balance.
A new convenience feature added to the 2013 lineup is called Private
Sound Mode, which lets consumers feed the system's sound directly to
their smartphone via Wi-Fi (sold separately) where they can listen with
any regular earbuds. Now, the rest of the family isn't disturbed when
one member wants to enjoy their home theater system at inconvenient
times, for example late at night or when others are on the phone.
Finally, the BH9430PW is compatible with iPhones® and iPads® to charge
the devices and provide access to stored content.
Also serving as a smart hub, the BH9430PW supports Near Field
Communication (NFC), which offers wireless and seamless content
mirroring from smartphones and other compatible external devices. In
addition, it has other excellent Smart TV capabilities such as web
browsing*. Additional Home Theaters Systems in the lineup include the
BH9230BW, BH6830SW and BH6730S.

Perfect Premium TV Companion
LG expanded its Sound Bar lineup in 2013 to include four models,
highlighted by the NB4530A Sound Bar, which combines sound quality and
aesthetic appeal making it the ideal complement to today's slim-profile
premium TVs. The Sound Bar produces compellingly rich audio with 2.1
channels, 310W speakers and an easy to place wireless subwoofer. The
stylish unit is has a slim design of only 1.38 inches tall** with a
black and silver finish, making it the perfect premium TV companion.
Supporting HDMI with an Audio Return Channel (HDMI ARC), the Sound
Bar plays audio from the TV without requiring additional cables. It is
also Bluetooth-enabled to facilitate wireless audio streaming from
smartphones, tablets and laptops. The Sound Bar's can be wall-mounted or
will fit neatly under one of LG's new CinemaScreen TVs.
Also key to LG's Sound bar lineup is the NB3730A, which offers
consumers premium streaming content from embedded partners Netflix,
Vudu, CinemaNow, Pandora and vTuner*. The NB3730A has been honored with a
2013 International CES® Innovation Award in the Home Theater
Speaker category. Additional Sound Bars in the U.S. lineup include the
NB3530A and NB2030A.
The Hub: LG's 3D Blu-ray Player with Smart TV Features
Another 2013 Innovation Award recipient is LG's new flagship Blu-ray
model (BP730) which offers a range of comprehensive Smart TV features
including Video-On-Demand (VOD) through premium services such as Hulu
Plus, Pandora, Netflix and YouTube and wireless connectivity options as
well as web browsing*. The BP730 also supports NFC.
New in 2013, the BP730 is easily operated with the acclaimed LG Magic
Remote, enabling customers to navigate the system's control options
with point—and-wheel based actions. The Blu-ray player also employs a
dual core processor to handle the All-in-One search function. This
advanced feature simultaneously collects search results for VOD and apps
and displays them in the same browser for quick access to sought-after
content. Regardless of whether content is viewed in 2D or 3D, the BP730
provides vivid colors and crisp picture quality. Additional Blu-ray
players in the U.S. lineup include the BP530 and BP330.

Connectivity in Style: Wireless Dual Docking Speaker with Streaming Music
Rounding out LG's audio lineup are a series of docking and portable
speakers, headlined by the ND8630 Dual Docking Speaker, which supports
dock-and-play for both iOS and Android mobile devices. The 80W speaker
conveniently charges the batteries of all docked devices. It can also
recognize and wirelessly play music files saved on smartphones, tablets,
laptops and desktop PCs that support Bluetooth and Apple's AirPlay.
The
speaker's cylindrical design also offers a visually appealing direct
docking option. In addition, the Mood Lamp creates a soft,
environment-enhancing lighting effect, while the Smart Sensor analyzes
the amount of illumination being provided by ambient light sources.
Additional docking speakers in the U.S. lineup include the ND5630,
ND2531 and ND2530.
The NP6630 is LG's flagship portable speaker. The versatile 20W unit
supports NFC, AirPlay and Bluetooth to wirelessly stream music from a
diverse range of mobile devices. The highly capable speaker is the
perfect combination of portability and functionality, keeping tunes
playing for extended periods of time, even in the most remote locations.
No matter what NP6630 users are doing – camping, barbequing or relaxing
at the beach – they can enjoy an audio experience that is far superior
to that provided by a smartphone. The NP3530 rounds out the portable
speaker lineup.

About a year ago, my wife and I renovated our home in Fort Lauderdale. We wanted to enjoy a cinematic experience from the comfort of our own home, but we did not have a huge room to work with. Thanks to the team at Pure Audio Video, we got a beautifully designed room that looks and sounds far better than the local movie theaters! What I admired the most is that they listened to our priorities and delivered the room that we envisioned. Contact them today at www.pureaudiovideo.com or (954)-581-4434.
