How To Detect Fake LG Products

If a DVD player or home theater has any of the following traits then its a fake product with just an LG logo.

Logo and power supply
1. If it has a “Super LG” logo its a fake product. Super LG products dont come from LG Electronics
2.If the Logo is embossed on the top cover then its a fake.
3. If it has a switch at the back then it shows that its a fake.
LG products always come with only a standby power switch at the front of the device. Two switches is a sign you have a fake product. LG machines have only a standby button at the front therefore in order to switch an LG product off completely you need to unplug it from the mains power source.
4. If it has two power supply sources (both DC and AC) then its fake. Its always nice to own an electronic device that can be powered by the mains electricity as well as a car battery. But when it comes to LG products they only have one power supply source.
LG DVD players and Blu-ray players have only one type of power supply. Its either AC or DC but cannot be a combination of both.
5. If the logo seems to read LGT instead of LG, you should know its fake.
6. And lastly GLD is not a subsidiary of LG so all GLD branded products are not LG products.

From the Product Code
Now there is another category of LG products that are not fake. In fact they are very original but they do not have any warranty. Its usually difficult to distinguish between the warranty and non warranty products using the physical appearance. The surest way is to check the product code at the back of the unit or on the packaging itself.
LG Products without warranty have a region 2 code instead of region 5. Region codes were introduced to the world of electronics to stop movie piracy. For example if a movie has been released in the US and someone traveled with it to Africa, there is a chance of the disc being copied and sold even before the movie is released in Africa.
Region codes block any other region DVD disc from playing except the region code printed at the back. So in the above example the region 2 disc would not read at all on any region 5 device. You should know the region your country belongs to when it comes to LG or any other products before purchasing it.

Original LG Devices With 2 Years Warranty have the following features
-BKENHL or AKENHL region code (anything esle does not have a waranty).
-Warranty card with a list of some countries.
-A seller or dealer stamp to make the warranty card official.
-Region 5 label.
