LG Electronics will demonstrate two new home theatre systems, the AP3133 and the LHT888, at the upcoming Consumer Electronics Show which kicks off in Las Vegas next week. Both systems were personally tuned by audio legend Mark Levinson, who has been working with LG for the past year.
Under his direction, the company’s engineering team has developed a range of high-performance/high-value products that the company claims will “send tremors” through a complacent industry. “These systems are so good for so little money, it’s shocking,” Levinson confided. “Even the most jaded audio veterans are going to be completely knocked out.”

The two new systems are the AP3133 and the LHT888. The AP3133 is a traditionally-styled high-definition AV home theatre system with medium-height multi-driver floor-standing loudspeakers, centre channel speaker, surrounds, and powered subwoofer. The system includes a 7.1-channel AV receiver with 150Watts X 7 ‘ICEpower’ output stage, Burr-Brown PCM 1796 24bit/192kHz DAC, multi-input HDMI switching with full 1080p upscaling, HD Radio capability, and Audessey Auto Room Multi EQ Adjustment. The system also includes an LG Super Blu player, dual-format BD and HD-DVD player.
For more décor-conscious movie-and-music fans, LG will demonstrate its LHT888 home theater system, a foray into stunning contemporary design. Inspired by the slim elegant form of the champagne glass, LHT888 loudspeakers feature multiple drivers in parabolic housings, each with a tapered integrated pedestal. The system includes a 700W 5.1-channel DVD receiver with full HD 1080p upscaling, USB Media Plus, HDMI output, LG SIMPLINK™ multi-device control (HDMI-CEC), and multi-format playback compatibility—DviX, MP3, JPEG, MPEG, etc.
Prices will be announced at LG’s press conference on the day before the show opens to the public. Stay tuned as we will be there!
