i saw this in a discount section of a store for £150
but ive been searching google and have found nothing about it

actually sorry, this is one of two surround sound systems i was looking at, and lost track which one was which
currys has a similar offer but you have to have bought a tv

thanks for this, really interested in this one now
btw the previous one was
Phillips HTS3568

Loats,
Just out of interest as you have the same HT554PH as me, does yours play DTS audio if you select it on a dvd that gives you the option?

See my threatd on this as I've been tearing my hair out! Curry's spec says it should play dolby DTS and even the red DTS symbol comes on in the front panel but no sound.

I even exchanged it at Curry's but the new one is just the same so I guess Curry's spec is wrong and it just doesn't play it!

Good to hear your experience?

emcp

other specs say it has DTS

however

its a slightly different model because instead of 2 tallboys it has 4, but everything else is the same

Hi,
Just rang LG again and they insist it does play DTS, I've had tho not from Currys and neither play the DTS?

Currys said get them to test it in store but its just all the hassle of it isn't it!

I wonder if its a faulty batch? shame carn't get a few more people on here to test there's!

my set up

32  Toshiba's  REGZA 635 model hd ready - connected to lg ht554ph by hdmi cable
lg ht554ph - digital opical cable connected to sky plus
sky plus- conencted to tv not sure what cable is called ( came with sky)
wii console - connected to tv by scart

my 32 lcd has built in freeview can i get this on the lg ht554ph if so how?

right was playing around last nite there are that many buttons on remote its not to easy to use

right when playing a dvd sound came out of all speakers which was fab

when playing the lg ht554ph  radio sound came out of the front speakers only

with sky plus im not sure how but after pressing a few buttons on remote sky sound came out of front lg ht554ph speakers only i want this out of all

can i get sound to come out of all speakers when using
sky   ?
normal lcd tv ?

also been looking at this post as some problems are the same i just have a different system

emcp

went to order one

noticed a message saying we recycle products, just drop by your currys store

mmmmm

so i googled and then i found a lot of complaints about pix mania about european plugs etc and french manuals

the manual i dont care about, but the plug i do

did you receive similar treatment, or is it just the few english ones letting of stink about the french, honestly every post had the words "dispatched from french" and after that the post turned sour

also currys is offering this product for 200 if you buy a tv
so far weve talked to a few floor men who say the wont match the price, but yet to talk to manager, or someone we know working at one of the stores

even if we got it down to £200 wed probably buy it from their, to prevent hassle

people get on about microsoft owning the world

Currys/PC World/Dixons/Pixmania .......... own the UK

surely theres something to prevent so many different branches of the same organisation from ruling the high street, because if it was only one name, the name would get slated for being expensive, but by breaking it up, it seems more acceptable

anyway any trouble thanks
