LG Design Philosophy for Audio

Design plays a critical role in harmonizing technology and human needs. In an effort to predict emerging needs, and to deliver innovative products to the public, LG has developed a comprehensive design philosophy which boils down to four basic elements: Concept, Style, Interface, and Finish.

Digital Audio

In digital audio products, we produce home theater systems, new karaoke systems, and Hi-Fi systems that are equipped with the latest sound technology. LG’s Digital Media Company teamed with Mr. Mark Levinson, the world-renowned audio industry expert, to set new standards in sound quality and excellence.

Our audio products are perfect for bringing the best digital entertainment experiences to the home—and we’ve received many awards that underscore this, including coveted EISA Best Product awards, reddot Design awards, iF Design awards, and CES Innovation awards. For enthusiasts seeking the ultimate digital audio experience with the finest design, LG's current lineup features a wide array of digital audio products—from a stylishly designed. high power output home-cinema system, to micro systems that maximize available space.

What’s a Digital Tuner?

A digital tuner, also known as an ATSC tuner or HDTV tuner, is an audio/video receiver that allows your TV to receive and display digital television signals. Digital tuners are now integrated into TVs, VCRs, DVD Recorders, and set-top boxes. Furthermore, due to the current national transition from analog to digital broadcasting (set to conclude in early 2009), all analog TVs will soon require a digital tuner to “down-convert” digital signals to maintain display capabilities when analog ends.

What are the benefits of Digital TV?

After the national transition to digital broadcasting is complete, everyone will need a digital tuner to receive over-the-air signals. When you upgrade to a Digital TV, you will not only get all the great benefits of digital broadcasts, including theater-quality pictures and sound, you’ll also have access to additional digital services and perks as soon as they’re released.
