Function Description:
The LG Music Flow P5 is a portable Bluetooth speaker designed for listening to music from various portable devices. It supports Bluetooth wireless technology for connecting to smartphones, MP3 players, laptops, and PDAs. A key feature is the "Music Flow Bluetooth" app, which enhances control and functionality from iOS and Android devices. The speaker also includes a "Portable In" connector for wired connections to external devices.
A notable feature is LG Sound Sync (TV Private Sound), which allows the speaker's volume to be controlled by the remote control of a compatible LG TV. This function enables listening to TV sound wirelessly through the speaker.
The Dual Play Connection feature (optional) allows two LG Music Flow P5 speakers to be paired together to create a stereo sound experience. When in Dual Play mode, the sound is output in stereo, and the volume of both speakers can be adjusted simultaneously. The Dual Play Auto Connection ensures that once paired, the speakers will automatically reconnect in Dual Play mode when powered on again.
The speaker supports multi-pairing, allowing up to two Bluetooth devices to be connected simultaneously, though music playback and control will be from only one connected device at a time.
