Tech Review: LG-K9250A - Home Cinema System

Ah !!! atlast I am blogging on something which I always love......Gadgets. I'm currently talking about the new LG-K9250A Home Cinema System that I've just purchased. 1 word to describe the System - AMAZING. So whats so amazing about it ???...I'll tell you.

Let me discuss all the features point-wise:

  • Output - 5000 Watts PMPO & 500 Watts RMS
  • Formats supported - MP3, WMA, DivX, Xvid, JPG, MPG
  • Media supported - DVD, Audio CD-RW, Video CD-RW, MP3 CD-RW, DivX CD-RW, USB 2.0 (MP3 & JPG only)
  • Various Surround Sound effects - Cinema, Theatre, Hall, Church, etc
  • Various Equaliser settings - Rock, Pop, Jazz, Salsa, Musical, Flat, etc
  • Other additional Sound effects - XDSS, OAE, Dolby
  • FM & AM Radio support
  • AUX support & Optical Output to cascade to an amplifier


Rest all the features seem to be quite common with almost all the Sytems normally available in the market. The place where this Sytem scores above the rest is itss USB support. Just transfer your favourite Music & Photo albums to your Pen drive or MP3 player & pluggin to this System.....your done. You can show all your Photo albums directly on your TV & believe me even low resolution images look excellent on the TV. I guess LG could have done a little bit of tweaking & enabled other formats to be played through the USB. Unfortunately it currently supports only MP3 & JPG formats. The remote is also very user friendly & if you are little bit tech savvy will get accustomed to the remote very easily. With regards to CD-RW (Rewritable) discs be sure to check "Finalize CD" in your CD burning software before using it on this System. The System doesn't recognize Multisession CD-RW discs. Rest all features of Subtitle, Surround sound effect with regards to DVD playback prevails with this System. The System has an AUX port for connecting your TV or any other player to the System for amplification. In case you also have another high quality amplifier with Optical Inputs, you can connect the Optical Ouput port of this System to the amplifier.

One thing you should be careful while installing this System is with regards to the installation of the Speakers. Believe me the Speakers are really very heavy.....about 9 Kg / Speaker. Also install the Speakers at a minimum distance of 30 cms from any nearby AV System to minimise EMI effects.

Now lets come to the main question "How much will I have to shell out to procure this ?". Don't worry, though its printed MRP is Rs. 28,000, you can get this at a very very competitive price of Rs. 16,000 from Hypercity Mall. For the Samsung lovers there is a good news. Samsung also has a same System with the same price tag, but sorry I don't recollect the Model number. So what are you waiting for ???.....get ready with your Credit Cards & bring this new System to your home in this festive season.

Thats it.....these are the things which I've tested with this System & will continue to update this post as & when I discover something new. Remember that my learnings are exhaustive enough & will tell you features that are not properly documented in the Systems' User Manuals.

So please feel free to contact me if you have any queries on this or any other Gadget.
All in all I would rate this System 4 on 5. Would have rated 5 on 5 if DiVX & MPEG files could have been played from the Pen Drive.
