led tv kit image

i know you should use a micro fiber cloth or whatever theyre called (i have one) i was just wondering what liquid cleaner i should use. I heard that there are certain cleaners that permanently smudge or darken the screen so i want to be careful. i also heard there might be different cleaners depending on whether the tv is LED or LCD. thanks for any help you can give
Answer
The 'smudging' is because someone uses strong ammonia-based cleaner and it dissolves the anti-glare coating or hazes the plastic protector screen.
The little $10 Monster screen cleaning kits are probably your best bet.
You can make your own cleaner with grocery store alcohol and distilled water. You want a 50:50 ratio of the alcohol (so if your rubbing alcohol is 70% solution you use more water). Spritz the screen while it is cold and let it sit for a minute to work (because this is a weak solution), the gently wipe with the cloth. Do not rub at a spot but re-spray, wait, wipe.

Help getting my surround sound to work?
Cody T
I bought an LG Smart 3D Blu-ray Home Theater System (BH6830SW). I also bought an Insignia LED TV with your standard inputs and stuff. I have COX cable service as well and I cannot get all the speakers to work at the same time. I'm currently using the red/white audio connectors. Should I use an optical cable? Is that even possible for this setup? Should I go directly from the cable box to the Surround Sound?
I really appreciate any help with this, I'm horrible at this stuff.
Answer
I just had a quick look at the manual & the LG system does seem pretty basic. There are 3 ways to get audio from the TV, in order of preference they are:
HDMI-ARC (supports up to 7.1 digital depending on product & program)
This requires you to switch on ARC in the LG Simplink setup menu & allows the TV Audio to travel back down the same HDMI cable between the TV & LG system. Only TV's manufactured within the last 5 years are likely to support this & only one of the HDMI sockets on the TV will work with ARC. If you're lucky they will have printed ARC next to the input label (e.g. HDMI2-ARC). ARC also needs to be enabled on the TV but this is usually switched on by default. This should also carry audio from any other units connected to the TV providing they are connected ti the TV correctly. If the audio from your COX cabe box works on the TV speakers it should also work via the ARC connection.
Optical (supports up to 7.1 digital depending on product & program)
Pretty simple, plug one end in the TV & the other in the LG. Switch to the optical input on the LG.
Analogue Audio <Red & White plugs> (supports mono or stereo analogue)
Pug one end into the audio output on the TV (not input) & the other ed into the input on the LG. Swiitch to the Auxiliary Line input on the LG.
In terms of surround sound a decent system should do the following:
5.1 & 7.1 Digital Audio - Full Digital surround sound
2 channel analogue or digital - stereo or optional analogue surround such as Pro-Logic
Mono Audio - Mono (1 speaker) or Expanded Mono (all speakers)
Unfortunately the previous responder is correct that many cheap surround sound BluRay kits will only offer surround sound from the on board bluray player. This is a bit crap but as the manual makes no reference to listeing to external sources in surround sound you may be stuffed on this one. As they have not bothered to confirm this anywhere in the manual you may want to contact LG directly for a definite answer.
Also bare in mind that many TV services are still mono & most are only stereo. Only an exceptional few HD channels will offer 5.1, but then a proper surround unit would use Pro-Logic to create surround sound from stereo channels!
