It's a really great system.

I bought this almost 3years ago. It's a really good system, everything still works just fine, only thing that I'm confused about. On LG tv, the volume goe's up to a 100. I don't get it bc on CD, usb 1, usb 2, Bluetooth, portable, only go up to 40. Plz example why on LG tv. It goes up to a 100, i wish it was like that for all. I wish the subwoofer was bigger. But it's still fine bc it still shakes my room. It sounds really good. I love the design of the LG it's really cool. Only thing that i wish it had. Was a tune. So I i could tune my speaker and subwoofer. But beside that Its a really great stereo I love it!!
Pros: Style/Design, Performance, Quality

Beware the Bluetooth!
on June 11, 2019

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I'm a music teacher who managed to get my superintendent to purchase this system for my classroom a few years ago. It had all the features I needed, and set up was pretty easy. Sound was not bad (still find it odd that all of the EQ settings were basically just various genres of Latin music, but maybe I'm missing something). There have been two problems, however. First, after a few months, we discovered that there is no way to block access to the Bluetooth function. No password feature, no "off" setting, etc. to stop anyone (and I mean ANYONE) within range from pairing his/her phone and taking control of playback, even if the system was turned off! This was discovered by accident when the biology teacher next door began letting students play on their phones during class and quickly became common knowledge among the jr. high kiddos (I'm sure you can imagine the problems this caused). I contacted the manufacturer and they told me there was no way to stop this from happening, so I'm guessing it would be a problem for individuals who live in close quarters with their neighbors as well. The second issue is that a few weeks ago, it simply stopped producing sound! I'm checking to see what the cause is, but no matter how I try to play music (CD, aux, bluetooth), no sound comes out of the speakers (yes, I've checked cables and connections). It's also now struggling with reading CDs that I know are perfectly good, and will suddenly freeze up with "S PROTEC" on the display. I'm assuming that this stands for "surge protect," so I'm researching what, if anything, can be done to fix it (no, we didn't have any lightening storms or power surges at the school prior to this happening, yes, I tried multiple outlets, etc.). So, in short, it WAS a nice little system, BT can be hacked by your neighbors (both accidentally or on purpose), and it may just stop working after a couple of years.
Pros: easy to use
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Very flimsy controls. The woofer didn’t work at all. No port for earphones. Returning this immediately. Thanks for nothing. This totally changed my image of LG.
