LG's 5.1 HB954SP Blu-ray HTIB system makes room for your iPod or iPhone

If you've somehow managed to hold out from joining into the HTIB revolution, the time for caving is upon you. LG has just tapped Sir Mark Levinson to engineer the acoustics behind its latest bundle, the HB954SP. Packing a 5.1-channel sound system that includes 1,000 total watts of power, a quintet of oval drivers and a ported subwoofer, the system gets direction from a BD-Live-enabled Blu-ray player that's actually a fair bit more stylish than the tried-and-true black rectangle. You'll also find a pair of HDMI inputs, an iDock function for charging and controlling your iPod / iPhone right from the BD deck, 1080p upscaling of traditional DVDs, touch sensitive controls, a USB port for loading up external media and an optical audio input. There's nary a mention of price, but it should splash down this November for a hefty premium.

How exactly are the 1000 watts of power rated? Into 4 ohm most likely rather than 8 which is more consumer standard, so 500 watts total for these speakers and 100 per channel which makes sense. Is the amp in the Blu-Ray player or where? I'm skeptical already. It also shouldn't cary a premium with only two HDMI inputs and one optical input unless you just love Mark Levinson enough to reward LG for licensing his name.

LG has the worst customer service. I will never buy another LG product again!

HTIBs are junk. Save your pennies for a real system if you can't afford one instead of buying a joke in a box.
