These units would be perfect for a dorm room! Just don't drive your dorm mates next door crazy! This stereo has enough bass to be heard next door or even down the hall fyi.
The high end boomboxes from the 70s and early 80s go for big money especially if they have insane graphics and eq and big speakers. The PANASONIC NATIONAL RX A5 is an example. On ebay now. Bid is over $400!
JVC is my favorite. I have their hx-z30 and their mx-gt90 and it actually makes stuff fall off the walls if I turn it up too loud lmao. not even joking. So I actually barley use my jvc's at max volume, but damn. nothing I seen can beat them.
Charlie Fardoe Yeah when i was testing it I was shocked to find out that the unit remembers where the cd left off even if you take it out! Actually I first learned this live while i was shooting the video.
Am looking at buying one of these. It looks good. I actually like listening to musicals (lol), you think it would be good for that? Enjoyable presentation by the way.👍
Yeah it should sound really nice for musicals. This model is still available at Amazon, EBay, or you could upgrade to the LG xboom which includes a 7 in sub and 700 watt Peak power which is available at BestBuy.com as well as Amazon.com and eBay and maybe Walmart.com
@@godisgoodatht Thank you for replying. I’ve actually bought this one just now for my birthday (so sad, lol). It should come tomorrow. I wait until my birthday but very happy as I used to be very connected to my music and my old system died, this looks perfect for the job. Thank you so very much for a thoughtful and comprehensive review.
Hi! The rear has rca stereo aux inputs and the front has a usb music device input which doubles as a 5v charge port. And Bluetooth as well as lg sound sync which I was not able to play with. The bass can be reduced or increased by changing the surround mode by pressing sound effect. Also by together pressing REGION EQ and B. BLAST it will turn on or off the bass blast.
Just bought this but the bass is way too high it drowns out all sound and no matter what setting i put it on its still the same? Its almost on permanent bass blast and i cant fix it. I use it 4 work and im getting complaints from my boss. Help!!!
About the best thing I could think of is keep playing with the sound effect settings until you reduce the bass also if you're running an external Source from the RCA inputs or Bluetooth especially if it's an iPhone or iPod go to your music settings in the settings menu and select bass reducer
Hi there, I'm looking to buy this system, but what concerns me is that I'd be using it as a PC output via the RCA connectors on the back. Could you tell me if there is any hiss or other unwanted noise when there is no sound playing and there is something connected? Thanks!
Hi! No you should have no problems with noise if you connect via a 3.5mm stereo to rca plugs. I even hook up a vintage Realistic SCR-4500 and get no hiss to my HP envy m6 1205dx. One suggestion and what I do when its hooked up is turn up the pc volume at least 3/4 vol and keep the stereo vol down as low as possible to avoid amp hum. If your pc has bluetooth connectivity with audio support with pairing you can use that too and avoid even using an audio cable!
Hi, sorry I didn't respond before now trying to keep up with the comments LOL. You might need to get a CD lens cleaning kit would be my guess might be that the laser isn't holding onto the current position and it slips to the next track
I wouldn't think it would be dirty being that it's probably fairly new but you may want to go ahead and try a CD player cleaner kit. As far as the control if you're talking about the remote first thing to try is switching out the batteries with new ones. If you're talking about the front panel volume dial unfortunately it may have went bad.
@@ofthedawn I've had this happen w a tv remote before. I took the remote apart and cleaned the back side of the buttons and the motherboard with an alcohol wipe. There may be a screw holding the remote together underneath the battery compartment. Or carefully pry the remote apart using a precision screw driver or guitar pick. Sometimes the cleaning process works and sometimes it don't.
Stephanie Fernandez Might be a couple of things. First obvious thing would be to check that the outlet plugged into has power. 2nd, the unit may have a fuse on the inside that can be replaced. Or umfortunalely the circuits that handle power may have burned up.
Corey Golden Hi! Yeah you can hook it up via the stereo rca aux input and if your tv only has a headphone out you can get a cable off eBay that has male rca plugs on one end and a male 3.5mm plug on the other to wire into the back of the tv. If your TV has stereo RCA audio out ports then simply just get a standard stereo RCA end to end cable. Some of the newest LED TVs may offer the audio out via Bluetooth and you could use that if that feature is available for your television
Basically you toggle the function button until the display panel reads BT. If you're having trouble connecting to Bluetooth check the settings on your device and be sure the device you are connected to says LG CM4360.
Beckham Feehan My first thought would be maybe your smartphone has a volume limiter set like my ipod touch 6th gen has and it is defaulting the volume back to the level set on the phone and it overrides the volume you set the stereo to. Just an educated guess.
Beckham Feehan actually thought about it again and saw what my iPod did when I switch to Bluetooth the stereo communicates with the device being connected through Bluetooth and it talks to the volume setting of your phone or what device is connected to and it sets the volume accordingly or maybe it's based on what the volume setting was the last time you had that certain device connected
You probably could but just remember with the old vintage record player units that they have a different voltage input that vintage stereo receivers were designed to receive I would say hook it up and see how it sounds should be okay it's not going to harm anything. probably the only thing would be is the volume might be higher or lower than usual like if you're just running an iPod or something. You might have to get a special phono input leveler for record players
Hi! It has about a 5" woofer driver and a 1.5" tweeter with horn style cabinet surround. Total unit size is about 24.2" wide and 11" tall and max 11.2" deep.
That's weird. Only thing I can figure is the stereo is remembering the last input you had and it happens to be set to your Bluetooth device. Probably your smartphone and or iPod and it's automatically reverting to the volume level that was set for that device. Read down in the comments and it explains that in more detail. Maybe change it to the tuner, turn the volume down, power it down, power it back up, and see if it stays at that volume. Also the stereo does have an alarm setting that makes the unit turn on by itself at a specific set time.
@@godisgoodatht ok. I googled this problem and a few has had this same problem but no answer given on how to solve it. I never set the alarm on this radio. I went to the "trouble shooting" section in the PDF owner's manual and no mention of the problem. Maybe i should reset it? Not sure what to do. I always have to unplug the stereo for fear it will happen again. It's happened 3 times already and it happened just today while I was watching TV. It turned on by itself and it said "Galaxy" on it playing some hip hop music and the volume went up by itself!!. I quickly got up and pulled the plug. I tried turning the volume but it goes up. I have to keep my finger on the button. What should I do?
Check out my eBay page "atomic_civic06" for these units I upload to be sold at auction! If the unit is not listed it has been sold and no longer avail. Thanks!
Try turning the Bluetooth off on your device and back on and try repairing and even remove the LG cm4360 from your Bluetooth list and re-add it see if that helps
Oh not at all basically you just hook the speaker wires up color-coded accordingly then if you have a auxiliary RCA inputs you plug those into your external source then if you have a USB readable music device basically plug-and-play and the pairing is simple to do for Bluetooth
I just have to say l love this radio. It's stylish and sleek.. but sadly it sucks I've returned this product 2x for sound repair.. and again the same issue.. they make it seem like this product is ok but it isn't.. k recommend not to buy any lg product.. life isn't good infact it sucks.. l have a very stressful job and music is how l unwind.. lg u get thumbs down 👎👎will not invest anymore
This was a unit that I won at auction for resale. I would actually have to agree with you that my choice for a sound system probably would not be LG. Now on the other side of the coin my 47LA6200 LED 3D Smart TV that I've had for quite a few years now performs just like it did new, so I would recommend their TVs.
I'll have to do a review on it even though it is a little bit outdated. I used to have it just mounted on the included stand, but I have since installed it on a Z designs mast with floating mount which looks really nice with the black glass shelves and cast aluminum frame.
I have an Aiwa CX-NA767 which I bought brand new in 1999 with my high school graduation money still would have been perfectly working if my two nieces hadn't yanked the tape deck open while it was playing and broke it LOL. The oldest broke tape A and the youngest broke tape B😢. Oh well they didn't know any better. But anyway heck if you can pick up a really good condition Aiwa vintage shelf system those are really nice I miss Aiwa actually they just don't make them much anymore.

godisgoodallthetime can I connect my tablet to Bluetooth with it
godisgoodallthetime btw can you play some Johnny cash with that awesome stereo
James S Oh yeah anything with bluetooth output! Smartphones, iPod, iPad, Samsung galaxy, laptop...
James S Unfortunately I sold it but i can play my Cerwin vega Vs 120's which are much better, paired up with a realistic receiver and 10 band eq.
godisgoodallthetime omg that sounds awesome
Sounds great!!!
I bought for 30 pounds and maybe looks different but my bose 2+1 is not accoustic like this lg . Amazing clear sound
JVC is my favorite. I have their hx-z30 and their mx-gt90 and it actually makes stuff fall off the walls if I turn it up too loud lmao. not even joking. So I actually barley use my jvc's at max volume, but damn. nothing I seen can beat them.
Whatvis The Best pre setting to listen Rock music?
I have the same cd player as you and from my experience they sound great
Charlie Fardoe Yeah when i was testing it I was shocked to find out that the unit remembers where the cd left off even if you take it out! Actually I first learned this live while i was shooting the video.
godisgoodallthetime when did you get the LG because i got mine on 25/12/16
Charlie Fardoe About 2 months ago in an auction.
@@godisgoodatht I ordered mine today for my brother for christmas 😂 what on earth is a cd?
Btw I really appreciate all the comments and information going back and forth about my videos!

Download Jean Frye Sidwell - I Left My Heart In San Francisco on iTunes or play ad free on UA-cam music w sub.
Can you lower/adjust the bass? It has a Aux input in the back too right?

The bass can be reduced or increased by changing the surround mode by pressing sound effect. Also by together pressing REGION EQ and B. BLAST it will turn on or off the bass blast.
I ordered one my self i seen pictures the middle volume suppose to light up or was that just for advertising purposes?
That might be a different model could be that the model pictured was different from the one you ordered the cm4550 lights up.
How do you reset IT??
do you know if it has Aux mode
Just bought this but the bass is way too high it drowns out all sound and no matter what setting i put it on its still the same? Its almost on permanent bass blast and i cant fix it. I use it 4 work and im getting complaints from my boss. Help!!!

Just got one of these and I'm having trouble getting the sound how I like it, the vocals are too echoey
I would play with the sound effect settings and see which one sounds the best
Стоит покупать?
I kicked the table at 2:41😂

Any ideal why it won't read disc anymore? Played two ads in it and that's it. Now the control won't turn the volume up.

how to set memory on fm radio
Just got this a few days ago and it won't power on... it worked fine the first day
Stephanie Fernandez Might be a couple of things. First obvious thing would be to check that the outlet plugged into has power. 2nd, the unit may have a fuse on the inside that can be replaced. Or umfortunalely the circuits that handle power may have burned up.
Can I hook this up to my panasonic viera tv?

High performance lol
How do i put this on bluetooth mines want would pair to the radio but want play
Basically you toggle the function button until the display panel reads BT. If you're having trouble connecting to Bluetooth check the settings on your device and be sure the device you are connected to says LG CM4360.
nice
Just got this radio and any time I change song from my phone it resets the volume to 25 🤔 anyway around this that you know of ?
Beckham Feehan My first thought would be maybe your smartphone has a volume limiter set like my ipod touch 6th gen has and it is defaulting the volume back to the level set on the phone and it overrides the volume you set the stereo to. Just an educated guess.
godisgoodallthetime literally just checked that and it worked perfectly. Thank you 🙏🏼
Beckham Feehan No problem, glad I could help! Thx for viewing!

Lol mine does the same
Could I hook a record player up to this with the white and red leads

How big is it?
Hi! It has about a 5" woofer driver and a 1.5" tweeter with horn style cabinet surround. Total unit size is about 24.2" wide and 11" tall and max 11.2" deep.
I bought this like 5 months ago and now it turns on by itself and the volume goes way up?!!
Has anyone had this problem and knows how to solve it??

I have the lg 4550 and iam selling it . Cuse it sounds ok but. It's not up to what I remember old strero sound systems use to sound like.
ryan migliori Yeah my Realistic scr-4500 receiver powering Cerwin Vega vs-120s blows this stereo out of the water. At half vol its intense!
@@godisgoodatht yep maid in china surface mount componets . There excellent for everything but strero.
does it have am radio ? thx
its 5.56 somewhere it only has an fm tuner built into it
