LG Electronics is, for the first time, selling individual home theatre components, further adding to the company?s ethos of creating convenience and versatility for Australian consumers.
Combining full connectivity solutions and the latest in digital sound system technology, the AR702 AV Receiver series includes the AR702NS AV receiver (stand alone), AR702TS (receiver with tallboy speakers) and AR702BR (receiver with bookshelf speakers), all providing powerful and quality 6.1 channel audio performance.
To provide individually optimised sound excellence, the high performance AR702 has adapted the renowned Audyssey lab?s automatic calibration technology. Audyssey automatic calibration guarantees superb sound quality that is custom tuned to the user?s room. Audyssey technology measures and analyses the characteristics of the space where the AR702 is installed, then fine-tunes the sound level of the home theatre system to optimise the sound quality of the space.
The quality of digital sound and picture are enhanced with this product, which employs HDMI (High Definition Multimedia Interface) connectivity. HDMI can also directly transfer digital audio and video signals, which minimises the loss of signal quality associated with traditional digital-analog converting processes.
The units support various A/V formats, including Dolby Digital EX, DTS ES, DTS NEO:6 Music & Cinema, and includes multiple inputs/outputs such as 2 HDMI in and 1 out with switching, component / composite video outputs, and optical / coaxial / discrete 6.1 channel audio outputs, among others. Furthermore, the product is perfectly suited to the latest LG big-screen TVs, providing any living room a stylish and prestigious look.
The AR702 ?AV Receiver? series will be available to Australian consumers in August, and will be available in various configurations to suit the needs of individual purchasers.
