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.

Both audio systems are designed to blend easily into the home environment and offer robust sound and video quality.
