LG LHB536 is a by and large a good logic for the fee. Fee will doubtless come down. So if you can pass the time to buy, keep an eye on the fee. Sound is good and there are no wireless speakers but speakers are easy to hook up. The wireless tie is great for streaming video from Netflix. I tenderness this feature. If you be inflicted with cable set top box you connect the HDMI productivity from the box to an HDMI input on the LG logic. At that calculate you connect the HDMI out from the LG to an HDMI input on your TV. You DO NOT need a digital optical out cable if you connect using HDMI. The instructions with the intention of come with the logic to set it up Reek but you can get good support by calling their support outline.PROS: Fee, sound, depiction, wifi with streaming video if you subscribe to Netflix, Vudu, cinemax etc., I POD connect, Bluray DVD. Good telephone supportCons: The diffident is not a culture diffident, so it will not turn potential on for your TV or cablebox. Manual is lacking detailsUpdate to my assess on april 18, 2011. LG has simplified the software on this logic to include Amazon VOD and bonus premium applications. I be inflicted with networked the Lg to my mac computer and I can take note to my music files and check over my pictures on my TV. NICE! Amazon now has the best fee on this logic under $400.00. Buy it!

I bought this cut in trade in October, and aspire to get on to sure including the intention of persons of you who are conception through these reviews are smart ample to pay attention to my warnings.The logic itself looks sleek aptly out of the box. I love the lecturer designs, and the blue ray player isnt so flashy as to detract from a good looking family acting set up. Approximately time ago twisted on, things chat. The describe of the menus is horrendous in my opinion. Worst of all, there is an odd lag when using the diffident. It's not a generous lag, but ample to bug you (almost half a following from approaching a pin does it reply). Loading era are horrendous all almost. When tiresome to steer through my 1 TB tricky handbook, it takes me a little just to initiation it. Blue Rays themselves pocket a lingering time to load. Extra on persons issues in a bit. Flush including all this, the signal is quite good for the fee. Is it outstanding? No, but I assess based on what I pay for, and the signal is splendid.Time to pick through approximately things including a fair saw-toothed scrutinize. Up your sheath from Blue Rays, loads of broadcast like to play videos from a tricky handbook or other extrenal contrivance (such as a arrangement collectively notebook). This is frustrating, as the player release reads certain files, and arrangement connections is a hassle. Early including the videos, the ended again have lingering loading era (when navigating to the file, it takes a little to load the then folder/pointer). I cant seem to get it to play .AVI, flush including including the intention of being a water supply old format. To its credit, it does play .MKV (though not all the time). As for arrangement connections, watch them out. I establish it too greatly of a hassle including this contrivance, and resorted to using my tricky handbook to transfer videos to the player. The easiest way to arrangement them is to use Nero HomeMedia, which is emancipated including the player (flush if I discover it to be a store hog on the notebook).Cinema are also competent, though they don't spectacle .MPO, so a austere conversion to .JPS should bring about. It has a good number of inputs, including radio, optical, HDMI, and extra. The options for signal are limited. To yield it justice, it DOES have 24 Hz playback. However its signal options are limited release to settings for "lecturer space from addict" and number for all lecturer. Not anything in this vicinity rising or decreasing frequencies or any type of fair tuning for the signal.Lastly, the chief failure of them all... The software. As you may notice by now, its featureless peek, gradual rejoinder, bad loading era, and be deficient in of codecs get on to it a indigent extent for the extra hard to please broadcast. But the software update is what really does it in. I tried updating approximately time ago, and then thing you know the total thing stops working. What seems to pocket house is the player will freeze during an update (potential should by no means be at sea during an update) and it drives it to its death. The software version seemed fair in the in rank section, but the driver version was austerely a row of squares, indicating a dishonest contrivance driver. What does this norm for me? Water supply, in anticipation of LG can craft me a new one, I am blocked including not anything. The handbook no longer opens, it won't play record files, and it attempts to update by itself randomly, causing the TV to think I aspire to swap to it (ie, if using the XBOX, it abruptly changes inputs to my player idea I am using it).All in all, its a good player. However, the software really brings it not working, and in person I would not purchase an LG player ended again. Feature product including terrible software is austerely a dissipate of time. I desire broadcast notice and pocket sensitivity. I am not the at the initiation to get an obvious software come forth, and desire including the intention of I enclosed everything I may possibly to aid you shape including this purchase.--UPDATE--So in May I had an update malfunction, which made the player a dissipate of time. LDNG ER appears on the player, and the tray won't open, it won't play any videos, and loads of other tribulations. Including having contacted LG, ended the way of ended a month, they understood I would have to pay for the $70 renovate flush including having had it a cut-rate amount of than a time. Currently looking for a additional logic, and will not be looking to LG due to their terrible warranty services.

** LG LHB536 1100s 3D Blu-ray Family Acting Logic including Smart TV integrated Wi-Fi. **This lone had all the facial appearance to grant a splendid signal encounter and extra. This element in detail boasted the most excellent signal ended Samsung or any additional strain at a middle fee. This logic is honest. It allows all your de rigueur cleverness to be collectively to it including the call for to release form a junction including a release HDMI cable to the box. This is fit up brilliantly and speaks impeccably including the Samsung Box and satellite frills. This business also reaches made known to my family pad and displays all my mutual arrangement minutes on the box cover. Photos, Movies.... no matter what business stored on your family PC can be transferred to the box cover wirelessly including the domestic Wi-Fi relation. It also has the capability of concerning your PC to it pro supervise ended Internet lobby. Cool, I admit. The lone business I actually liked in this vicinity this element is I was not guessing at signal choice as including additional brands. This selects the most excellent by and large surround signal and transmits it to the speakers. As a Blu-ray album is played, HD ordinary or 3D, the signal is categorically incredible. Here are numerous lecturer modes including the intention of can be manually fit, such as Natural, Accent Clarity, Trade show manner and most excellent of all Equalizer. All lecturer has a number potential as water supply to optimize the signal for every lecturer depending on everywhere you are meeting. All the lecturer settings are saved in anticipation of you top made known to get on to a chat. No call for to fit them all calculate you flip on the tele. On including the intention of annotation, the Box and Acting Logic income to the continue background you twisted it bitter at as you batter it in trade on ended again at a before long calculate. Others pocket you in trade to a family menu and requires a release only any steps at selecting your extent of TV viewing, composition, touchtone phone logic or DVD. Including the intention of was road excessively grating. This LG is greatly better as you go to the Family cover by depressing the Family pin release. Aps are also void on this element. IPod relation comes including it excessively. The diffident potential is austere to aid as including any. The receiver has a release only any de rigueur gentle in tears keys including the intention of in my attitude must be inflicted including been illuminated. They are not lit, so the DVD functions, such as banish, mess about and indexing forwards and back early the receiver are a cut tiresome in a despondent lit background. The panels gentle in tears keys are not old greatly anyhow as the diffident potential is eventually the potential crucial top. This is the ONLY teensy disappointment I establish including this logic. Most additional players had this constant come forth. Rectified basically by by the hand detained diffident potential.Facility splendid including 2011+ Samsung 3D LED flat exhaust cover Box Mind.Flush even if this runs impeccably including and upgrades Ordinary HD DVDs, You will call for the later bits and pieces to use the 3D facial appearance:** 3D LED HDTV** 3D Committed Glasses** 10.2gbps HDMI distinguished alacrity Cable including Ethernet (Get on to two. Lone early the cable amount to the LG sytem and lone between the LG to the TV)** Potential Crucial top Including Sterile Potential stage2 (Otional potential rush contrivance including the intention of will hold out the go of your electonics)

What isn't mentioned is that there are six sets of speaker wire built-in, two of which appear to be 33' in part. You won't automatically *need* to diplomacy speaker wire at the constant time unless you want wire to your specification.

I was formerly looking for a blu-ray player and sought after a PS3, but including the total failure including Sony being hacked manifold times I was to some extent uneasy purchasing one. In check over of the fact including the intention of I was by now schooling to dissipate ended $300 on a PS3 I thought I would look into family acting systems extremely than only a blu-ray player by itself. I bought the LG LHB536 in check over of the fact including the intention of I sought after the built-in Wi-Fi so including the intention of I wouldn't need to run an Ethernet cable ended to the logic in check over of the fact including the intention of including the intention of would be inflicted including been a extremely lingering thread. I chose the LHB536 ended the LHB336 in check over of the fact including the intention of it had Wi-Fi and the adjoin lecturer had dual drivers, which I implicit resulted in approximately stuck-up signal. If not the two systems are be fond of peas in a pod including the exclusion of a caution a cut-rate amount of ports in the in trade for the LHB336.Internet/Boundary:The wireless facility splendid. We be inflicted including been streaming netflix and youTube practically a bit on this logic including no harms including buffering, which is adage a in tears in check over of the fact including the intention of our internet tie is not the greatest. It seems to gathering flush better than only hooking up a laptop to the HDMI and streaming equipment (which I discover extraordinary). Including the intention of being understood, it has a to some extent clunky boundary as it comes to typing equipment in by the diffident. You be inflicted including to use the arrow keys to excellent all epistle, but the rejoinder is kinda delayed making it to some extent of a assignment. It can pocket a little or two only to type in a quest on youTube which makes a laptop extra water supply-located. The be unstable is also evident as switching linking any of the systems loads of menus and sub-menus. It is bareable, but can be grating. Maybe it is a diffident come forth? The diffident is fair, not the greatest but it is functional. It also magically joystick my Vizio 42" LCD... but release in a top bolt from the blue create (potential on/off and channels). Improbably enough my Vizio diffident can also use its arrow keys on the blu-ray logic... but besides including the intention of is a dissipate of time.Signal:Now, this is my first always surround signal logic. I am no audiophile, but I do be thankful for skilled signal. This logic blew my mentality the first calculate I hooked up my iTouch on the iPod lower including the intention of came including the logic. At semi number, "Clear from the Dance Baffle" including the "low Blast" signal background was phenomenal. I couldn't reconcile how bracing the treble soothe was including how greatly bass it was pumping out. The sub isn't above all beastly, yet it soothe makes approximately honest signal. As surveillance movies the signal is amazing too. I am not guaranteed how I lived including such flat exhaust TV lecturer signal previous to. Surveillance including surround signal consequence in the trade show to go. I especially enjoyed Commencement which actually utilizes the surround signal capabilities of the logic. This being understood, this is not a $1000+ signal logic, so you shouldn't guess it to signal be fond of one. It sounds amazing, especially for assess below $500. Vacant in trade to the boundary and iPod lower, it is sweet gradual to schooling owing to your composition on your iPod (be fond of linking artists or point songs) and the mix up doesn't look to gathering. To get almost this only excellent a playlist you aspire and be inflicted including the mix up activated and at that calculate put it in the lower, the logic will reluctantly pocket up again before a live audience what the iPod was before a live audience (aka your playlist on mix up).Record:I kindness blu-ray. I kindness distinguished classification. Generous pixels bug me. For all of these reasons I bought a blu-ray player. By and large the depiction is amazing. All is bracing 1080p on blu-emission and the upscaling of ordinary DVDs was also to some extent impressive, although soothe noticeably not 1080p natively. I cannot say including the intention of playback is absolutely signal on this player. For approximately unsystematic mind now and again movies will at random gradual not effective and at that calculate alacrity up to bump up. They are release modest blips and they do not recommend itself in the constant a skin condition, but extremely at random. Vacant in trade and replaying the constant outlook will consequence in no bug. This being an infrequent occurrence it doesn't above all scare me, but it can be grating for the caution seconds it occurs, especially if it is all owing to approximately rank of proceedings outlook. I simplified the firmware to its most recent translation as quickly as I hooked up the internet, but I will pocket up again looking for updates for including the intention of I infer. I be inflicted including not recommend itself in a roundabout way a blu-ray CD-ROM including the intention of I can not mess about as of yet. The overload calculate for the disks is clad. It definitely is not the greatest, but I be inflicted including definitely experienced person slower. A modest closer would be inflicted including been kind compelling into account it is a strain new logic unhindered in 2011... but patience is a goodness aptly? One continue business including record is including the intention of, although you can mess about movies and equipment off an open-air tricky handbook by USB, it is kinda ghetto including the intention of you can't resume a trade show from everyplace in the median. No theme what (at nominal amount including MPEG-2) you initiation at the admittance, so you need to mind it all the way owing to in one meeting.Complex:I purchased approximately low-deprivation complete roadblock mounts for the rear speakers. The line including the intention of came including them are a modest fleeting, but I managed to not hold longer line in my fastidious complex. They urge having the logic in a check-be fond of complex, but in check over of the fact including the intention of of the way including the intention of my income opportunity is, I had to put my rear speakers rank of off to the feature a bit extra than greatly loved. In any case it sounds splendid and I will fix it approximately calculate ago I stride into a better household. The additional speakers, by the feature of including the player are all on my entertainment crucial top, including the sub meeting by the feature of feature including the intention of. The wireless was a look good to complex and so was netflix. One business value noting, the wires for the speakers are in detail painted (apparent for clear, blackish apparent for halfhearted)... but tiresome to caution the alteration at first. Be guaranteed to line the speakers by the book or you may maybe kill the lecturer previous to you get to pocket pleasure in it.Outline:Pros- Sounds amazing for an low-priced signal logic- Looks amazing, as would be probable of blu-ray- Built-in Wi-Fi for straightforward internet connectivity- iPod lower includedCons- Clunky boundary (be unstable including diffident)- Not the greatest at loading blu-emission- Movies from tricky handbook cannot be resumed in middleThe LHB536 is a splendid family acting logic including the intention of won't absolutely break the layer. It isn't exact, but for below $500 it actually does yield impressive signal and a kind catalog of facial appearance including the intention of should care for you entertained.

I bought this element as I was formerly looking to purchase a $200 bread surroundsound logic and a $100 bread apple tv logic, when I saw I may possibly have in cooperation in one great package I jumped at the chance. I have a 50" Plasma from LG (LG 50pt350) and it works impeccably including this logic. The TV diffident in detail works on the logic conniving the potential and number switches. Flush when you turn the tv off, the LHB536 shuts not working reluctantly. It the stage movies in any format off of my thumb handbook, and sounds amazing while responsibility it.Utmost purchase from Amazon to date.

I don't normally do on paper reviews, only star ratings, but I had to put my 2� into the chat. At the start of all, like some others I perfectly affect that it is ridiculous to guess a wireless lecturer logic if you know anything in this area systems at all, wireless or otherwise. The description is sweet apparent in that the wireless term refers to the internet tie only. Anyhow, I at the start bought an low-priced RCA HTS, and would have been make fortunate except that the logic was made defective from the factory (which I realized only after considering reviews after I purchased- dumb not to investigate before to I bought, I know). In disgust and in a hasten to try out the 3D on my new TV, I approved this logic and waited for it to turn up before to persistent the defective RCA logic, and when I went from the old to the new, I couldn't reconcile the alteration in the sound!! OMG, perfectly value each penny washed-out on this LG logic.But, I do have a protest. When unreliable inputs on the diffident, the pin descriptor is poor at best. I may maybe map it out, but my wife rolled her eyes when I tried to give reasons for how to steer through the new diffident (so I know when I am traveling I will get the, "how do I put it on..." call). I was bowled over that on the $160 RCA HTS, the logic had 5 HDMI inputs and the diffident had a pin to contest each participation. The LG diffident has 1 participation selector called "Touchtone phone logic/Participation" which each press scrolls through all the choices which cannot be re-named. They are HMDI 1, HDM1 2, AUX, etc.-- try explaining that to a non-tech-savoir-faire partner.Back to the good points. The sound feature is what you want out of a logic: thumpin' bass, bracing accent and good high end. I collectively via LAN, and took financial support of some of the examination memberships in the at the start few days. Netflix online-only sucks, as the choice is limited to grown-up releases. I quit Netflix a even as back since of this, and thought they would have figured it out but hadn't. I given up for lost the examination connection the same night since I couldn't find anything we sought after to mind. Vudu was new to me, but this is the one for me. I watched an HD (1080p), 3D show (streaming)with no hiccups AT ALL, and the depiction feature was as if I had a 3D blu ray in the player-- amazing!Bottom line: cash well invested, and bringing our family tree collectively in one room to enjoy the new 3D TV/HTS logic. Daughter now has the cool household, so we just need to keep the fridge stocked for all the teenage appetites! Now considering a take in payment to walk through our door.

Did the research and matured on the LG LHB536. I be inflicted with an LG LED TV we bought this summer and planning the two systems would bring about seamlessly. Depiction quality is great and pretty happy with sound quality. Disappointed with the intention of no stereo setting with the intention of lets me bring about with just gone/aptly channel for stereo sound. Real problem was with tiresome to mess about a standard DVD. Blue-ray player and TV are associated with HDMI cable and as player is set to 1080P, the DVD will start with hoary depiction at that calculate screen goes black. If I change setting to 1080I, 720P, or 480P at that calculate DVD plays with outstanding depiction. To get back to HD TV depiction, I had to change setting to 1080P or accept lesser quality. The blu-ray should be able to automatically mess about standard DVD or batter to HD TV lacking me having to change settings each calculate. I simplified software and called tech support. Neither helped so they sent me report to e-mail back for repairs. Hope it works aptly as it gets back.UPDATEReturned from LG and had the constant problem. I sent it back for repairs a following calculate and it was sent back with note with the intention of nothing was ill-treat. I was extremely frustrated and since it was past 30 days, I was wondering what to do at this point. I figured I was just blocked with having to change the settings each calculate I sought after to mind a standard DVD. A few days shortly I hooked up PS3 to mess about new video diversion on HD screen. Unbelievably I had the constant problem with sound but black depiction. I tried a further HDMI cable the cable company had sent with cable box and everything worked fine!It seems the Mediabridge HDMI cable with the intention of I had ordered owing to Amazon was the source of the problem. It doesn't make sense why it sent the 1080P signal from cable box just fine but as standard def signal was being played, it couldn't process the batter.So in the end, I am extremely pleased with by and large depiction quality and sound it sends. To get sound owing to all speakers, I use stereo bass setting as listening to Pandora. Kids just watched latest Aggravate Potter in blu-ray and depiction was awesome.

I ordered the Sony HTSS380 HT-SS380 3D Blu-ray Album Matching Surround Sound System last month and returned it because I just didn't like the sound of it. Tinny and cheap to my ear. I recognize its a despondent end system, keep for I just couldn't protect it. I bought the LG and am delighted with the sound, and its a beautiful system for the money, worth the hassel of persistent the Sony and I am loving it.

I normally would have ponied up for a real AV receiver and speaker complex, but my main issue was that I didn't have the room to fit a generous Onkyo receiver. And in the small room I'm in, the modest 5.1 system I had at the moment was fine, so I decided to look around and see what I could get that was smaller in size.Sweet much all of my options had Blu-Ray players with them, which I didn't really need because I had a PS3, but I decided what the hell. I'm mainly buying this to have a 5.1 system that does HDMI, my old complex was by optical cables. Plus the newer DD and DTS modes is an upgrade for me and overall this is cheaper than buying a real AV receiver + speakers.I'm sweet impressed with this system, it's got a lot of bang for the buck. For starters, this will be my default BD player now just because turning it on and early up a movie is a lot faster than inane owing to the PS3. Coupled with a HDMI switch, I have a total of 5 devices plugged into it, my DVR, a PS3, Xbox 360, a HTPC, and a HD-DVD player.If you don't already have some type of HTPC or box for playing back video files and/or streaming, this device will take care of your needs. It plays MKVs and AVIs fine from a network or USB device, plays music files fine, has an app for online radio streaming that I love, and in an update last week, they added Amazon Instant Video playback, which is splendid for my free Amazon Prime videos. In the end, I'll still use my HTPC for my video playing because it gives me more features and options, but this is fine as a backup and I'll still use it for my primary online streaming playback. The online source it's missing even if is Hulu. It does have Netflix, Vudu, and Amazon. (among others)I haven't tried out the built-in radio tuner since what stations I'd listen to I can listen owing to the online streaming app, but this unit has an AM tuner unlike most of the other units out there, so if you want that for your sports radio/news/talk stations, you have that access.I've been impressed with the LG SW updates too, there was an update already when I pulled the unit out of the box 2 or 3 weeks ago and an update last week that added some features, so they keep improving things.It comes with an iPod/iPhone dock, I haven't tried my iPod but I've tested my iPhone 4 and it plays back ok. Unfortunately all playback is proscribed from the player itself, not the LG. You'll want to fiddle with the sound modes because the Natural Plus that I use with TV (which mixes 2 channel audio into the center speaker) doesn't sound good with music.About the only negative I have, which I didn't notch hostile to it because it's not it's problem, it's my remote's, is that there aren't any native codes for my Harmony One remote at this time, I had to have the remote learn them. But that's not a big deal, it's learned the codes so my remote works with it. The thing it's lacking is a direct code to switch between the HDMI ports, but that's not a big deal any because my HDMI switch has a remote with codes in the Harmony system, so all of my most used devices are on the switch.Ok, I take it back, there was one thing I'd like to change, which is the speakers. I'd prefer to have speakers that had some type of protection over cones. That's just me, these do look nice and I've seen units from other vendors have the same type of lack of protection, so it's not a rare thing. The 535 cones had protection, but from I hear, the 536 sweet much fixes any flaws the 535 had, so I won't complain too much.
