Led by its Blu-ray high-definition player, super-multi DVD recorders and stylish home theater systems, LG Electronics today unveiled its latest lineup of digital audio/video innovations at the 2006 International Consumer Electronics Show (CES). Demonstrating its leadership and commitment to developing the most innovative digital audio and video products available, LG’s home entertainment products for 2006 are designed to meet the needs of the growing number of consumers seeking premium home entertainment options, and underscore the company’s commitment to growing its brand in the U.S. market.

AT YOUR SERVICE: DVD PLAYERS AND DVD RECORDERS

LG’s new DVD players and recorders are sure to take the home entertainment experience to an entirely new level — delivering enhanced video and audio, and providing innovative and user-friendly recording capabilities. To help reduce the DVD recording complexity consumers face, LG expanded its line-up of next-generation super-multi DVD recorders, which record to any DVD blank media format available. With support for DVD+R/RW, DVD-R/RW, DVD-RAM and even DVD+R Dual Layer blank media discs, home recording has never been easier.

LG’s RC199H Super-Multi DVD Recorder and VCR Combi with 1080i up-converting HDMI output can record and play all DVD formats and includes an intuitive "one-touch dubbing" feature which allows VHS to DVD or DVD to VHS transfer of non-copy-protected video at the touch of a button. Its Dual DV (1394) Recording feature provides convenient connectivity for recording from digital camcorders directly to either DVD or VHS.

One of the most stylish products for 2006 is the 1080i up-conversion DVD player (DN191N). With a slim design and an all-digital HDMI audio/video output, this powerful DVD player is capable of up-converting standard-definition DVDs to a high-definition 1080i resolution, providing crisp, clear and life-like images for the latest HDMI-equipped TVs. This player also includes a highly adaptable 14-in-2 memory card slot for enjoyment of photos from just about any digital camera. With one of the world’s slimmest and shortest depth designs (1.37 and 9.4 inches respectively), the DN191N will be available in the first quarter of 2006.
