Happy New Year to all our customers.

Video Home & Electronics Centre, the authorized distributor of Brother Products in Qatar conducted a product seminar recently.

The seminar was attended by their corporate customers, dealers and their retail staff. The world’s first A3 Colour Inkjet Multi Function centre was unveiled during the seminar. The product was launched recently in Dubai during the Gitex and Qatar is the first country in the Middle East after Dubai to launch the new model.

Mr. Sohail Kidwai, Deputy General Manager from Brother International made a presentation on the new model and also on the complete range of Brother Products.

Brother Gulf, is a global leader in the development and manufacturing of printing, communication and digital imaging products for homes, SOHOs and enterprises. The latest MFC (Model - MFC-6490CW) is part of the ‘Justio’ series and is the first ever ‘Professional Series’ Colour Inkjet from Brother, which incorporates the manufacturer’s pioneering ‘Tube Engine Method’ for printing. With dimensions measuring a mere 540 (W) x 488 (D) x 323 (H) millimetres, the printer is ideal for shops, home offices and businesses with limited space as it provides the ability to print, copy, scan and fax up to A3 size.

The launch of the latest A3 Colour Inkjet MFC is a part of the company’s plans to introduce 11 new colour inkjet printers – 9 for the Home & SOHO and 2 for the SMB segment, Incorporating Brother’s ‘Tube Engine method’ technology developed specifically for the commercial segment, the A3 MFC was downsized by separating the ink cartridge from the print head and connecting them via an ink supply tube, which has made miniaturization possible. In addition, the head for commercial products has two lines for black, which improves the output speed, as commercial products require higher monochrome output performance. Brother Gulf has planned for its latest models to hit the markets across the region in December 2008.

 Offering users a host of features including wireless networking, fast print speeds, an easy-to-read widescreen LCD display and intuitive controls, the world’s first A3 Colour Inkjet MFC incorporates a 50-sheet automatic document feeder, dual paper trays with up to 400 sheet total capacity and Super G3 33.6K bps fax modem. Capable of printing up to 35/28 pages per minute on black/colour, the A3 printer also has four separate ink cartridges, which enable the user to replace only the colour that is empty. Furthermore, the MFC-6490CW offers a best-in-class, one-year limited warranty, making it a considerable value when compared to other colour inkjet all-in-one units currently available on the market.

Dealers and Hypermarkets who had shown excellent performance during the year were awarded with mementos by Mr. Sohail and Mr. C.V Rappai, the Director & General Manager of Video Home group of companies.

 Video Home & Jumbo Electronics are synonyms in the Business Arena of Qatar. Having completed 28 Years of committed and loyal service to the people of Qatar in Electronics and many house-hold products, Video Home has become a symbol of excellence and a mark of reputation in every nook and corner of Qatar.

 Video Home & Jumbo Electronics are the exclusive distributors of LG, Indesit, Ariston, Onida, Nikai, Olympus, Kenwood, Supra, Brother and many other multinational brands.

Doha,Qatar, October 25, 2008: Keen to read the Quran on your TV set in the comfort of your home or bookmark your favourite phrases from the Holy Book at the flick of your TV remote? You can now, with LG’s latest Quran-enabled Time Machine TV.

Fresh from the success of its Qiblah mobile phone, digital leader LG Electronics has announced the Middle East-wide availability of the only TV in the world with built-in Quran, to honour the Holy Month of Ramadan.

LG’s latest Time Machine plasma TV allows viewers to read the Qur’an, search and bookmark passages and listen to scriptures – all on the TV screen. The Holy Qur’an incorporated into the plasma TV includes all of the 114 suras, allowing users to search for specific suras or verses and bookmark up to 10 favourites with record and stop button on the remote control.

 The innovative TV also allows viewers to listen to the Qur’an, an excellent feature for allowing several people to study and understand the scriptures together. A multilingual interface allows viewers to navigate and read the text in Arabic and Farsi. At the top of the screen is a status bar that displays the name of the sura, verse numbers and the time of day.

 “The built-in Qur’an TV will provide believers in Allah and his Prophet a new and rewarding way to experience the Holy Scriptures during the most sacred time of the year,” said Mr. H.S. Paik, President of LG Electronics Gulf FZE. “As a brand that respects Muslims, LG is committed to ensuring that we offer solutions that meet local needs, and the built-in Qur’an TV comes as a part of this effort.”

 In addition to its special features for Ramadan, this TV also includes LG’s Time Machine technology, which allows viewers to pause and rewind live TV shows, and record shows for later viewing. The built in 160 GB hard drive is large enough to store 40 football matches or 30 full-length movies.

The latest innovation follows the unprecedented success of LG’s Qiblah mobile handset, which notched up impressive sales especially in the GCC. The Qiblah Phone (LG-F7100) indicates the direction users should face in order to pray toward Mecca, even if they are in the desert with few reference points. Users simply input their location and the phone, which works in 500 cities worldwide, automatically points the way.

LG’s Time Machine TV with the built-in Quran facility is available in the Middle East and Africa markets in 42 and 50-inch sizes.

As mobile phones become more sophisticated and gain more convergence features, they are also becoming more complicated to use. Today’s mobile handsets are no longer just voice devices – they have continued to evolve, first into multimedia gadgets and now into almighty remote controls for almost all aspects of our lives. This makes limiting the number of functions in a phone out of the question. Instead, user-friendly interfaces can make it possible for a handset to hold all these functions and features in a well-organized structure while maintaining a sophisticated look.

As content and services are becoming increasingly important features on mobile phone, the interface that enables users to freely navigate through all the games and music and ringtones and videos, has become a major factor determining a phone’s success in the marketplace. A well-designed user interface (UI) not only enhances a phone’s usability, but also affects its appearance making a truly integrated and streamlined design possible.

LG Electronics (LG), a worldwide technology and design leader in mobile communications, is working toward this goal with an advanced new user interface on its new the LG KF600 handset. This includes LG’s unique InteractPad™, which makes the LG KF600 fun, easy and intuitive to use, without sacrificing advanced features. The LG KF600 is more than just functional; it’s also big on style winning a 2008 iF product design award with its trendy slider form factor, glossy finish and interface themes inspired by Keith Haring.

The LG KF600 is set apart by the InteractPad™, a touch-sensitive virtual navigation keypad located just below the phone’s main display. It replaces physical navigation keys with contextspecific virtual keys that change to fit the task at hand. When sending text messages, the InteractPad™ shows just the right keys to accomplish the task easily. When using the multimedia player, the InteractPad™ changes to make it easy to browse through albums, cue up songs or adjust the volume.

Another differentiator for this phone is its collection of eight dynamic graphic interface themes that are stylish and fun. Each gives the phone a different character that can act as an extension of its owner’s personality. These themes affect all aspects of the LG KF600’s interface including the InteractPad™.

"This is an exciting product for us at LG Mobile. The LG KF600 takes usability to a new level that could not be achieved without the fresh and innovative InteractPad™. Using the InteractPad™ is so intuitive and natural to use that it seems almost as if it is reading your mind. It is truly in a class of its own," said Mr. K W Kim, President Middle East & Africa of LG Electronics. “I see this phone as part of an emerging trend in mobile phones with advance interfaces that make them easier to use, but also fun and interesting.”

Video Home & Electronic Centre conducted a workshop on "BUSINESS PLANNING FOR RESULTS" from June 10-12, 2007 for their Business Units Heads.

The workshop was conducted by K. Jayshankar, Managing Director, Empowered Learning Systems, India.

This application - based workshop focused on equipping the Senior Managers with tools and techniques to prepare them for the rapid growth vision of Video Home Group of Companies.

Happy New Year to all our customers.

Video Home & Electronics Centre, the authorized distributor of Brother Products in Qatar conducted a product seminar recently.

The seminar was attended by their corporate customers, dealers and their retail staff. The world’s first A3 Colour Inkjet Multi Function centre was unveiled during the seminar. The product was launched recently in Dubai during the Gitex and Qatar is the first country in the Middle East after Dubai to launch the new model.

Mr. Sohail Kidwai, Deputy General Manager from Brother International made a presentation on the new model and also on the complete range of Brother Products.

Brother Gulf, is a global leader in the development and manufacturing of printing, communication and digital imaging products for homes, SOHOs and enterprises. The latest MFC (Model - MFC-6490CW) is part of the ‘Justio’ series and is the first ever ‘Professional Series’ Colour Inkjet from Brother, which incorporates the manufacturer’s pioneering ‘Tube Engine Method’ for printing. With dimensions measuring a mere 540 (W) x 488 (D) x 323 (H) millimetres, the printer is ideal for shops, home offices and businesses with limited space as it provides the ability to print, copy, scan and fax up to A3 size.

The launch of the latest A3 Colour Inkjet MFC is a part of the company’s plans to introduce 11 new colour inkjet printers – 9 for the Home & SOHO and 2 for the SMB segment, Incorporating Brother’s ‘Tube Engine method’ technology developed specifically for the commercial segment, the A3 MFC was downsized by separating the ink cartridge from the print head and connecting them via an ink supply tube, which has made miniaturization possible. In addition, the head for commercial products has two lines for black, which improves the output speed, as commercial products require higher monochrome output performance. Brother Gulf has planned for its latest models to hit the markets across the region in December 2008.

 Offering users a host of features including wireless networking, fast print speeds, an easy-to-read widescreen LCD display and intuitive controls, the world’s first A3 Colour Inkjet MFC incorporates a 50-sheet automatic document feeder, dual paper trays with up to 400 sheet total capacity and Super G3 33.6K bps fax modem. Capable of printing up to 35/28 pages per minute on black/colour, the A3 printer also has four separate ink cartridges, which enable the user to replace only the colour that is empty. Furthermore, the MFC-6490CW offers a best-in-class, one-year limited warranty, making it a considerable value when compared to other colour inkjet all-in-one units currently available on the market.

Dealers and Hypermarkets who had shown excellent performance during the year were awarded with mementos by Mr. Sohail and Mr. C.V Rappai, the Director & General Manager of Video Home group of companies.

Doha,Qatar, October 25, 2008: Keen to read the Quran on your TV set in the comfort of your home or bookmark your favourite phrases from the Holy Book at the flick of your TV remote? You can now, with LG’s latest Quran-enabled Time Machine TV.

Fresh from the success of its Qiblah mobile phone, digital leader LG Electronics has announced the Middle East-wide availability of the only TV in the world with built-in Quran, to honour the Holy Month of Ramadan.

LG’s latest Time Machine plasma TV allows viewers to read the Qur’an, search and bookmark passages and listen to scriptures – all on the TV screen. The Holy Qur’an incorporated into the plasma TV includes all of the 114 suras, allowing users to search for specific suras or verses and bookmark up to 10 favourites with record and stop button on the remote control.

 The innovative TV also allows viewers to listen to the Qur’an, an excellent feature for allowing several people to study and understand the scriptures together. A multilingual interface allows viewers to navigate and read the text in Arabic and Farsi. At the top of the screen is a status bar that displays the name of the sura, verse numbers and the time of day.

 “The built-in Qur’an TV will provide believers in Allah and his Prophet a new and rewarding way to experience the Holy Scriptures during the most sacred time of the year,” said Mr. H.S. Paik, President of LG Electronics Gulf FZE. “As a brand that respects Muslims, LG is committed to ensuring that we offer solutions that meet local needs, and the built-in Qur’an TV comes as a part of this effort.”

 In addition to its special features for Ramadan, this TV also includes LG’s Time Machine technology, which allows viewers to pause and rewind live TV shows, and record shows for later viewing. The built in 160 GB hard drive is large enough to store 40 football matches or 30 full-length movies.

The latest innovation follows the unprecedented success of LG’s Qiblah mobile handset, which notched up impressive sales especially in the GCC. The Qiblah Phone (LG-F7100) indicates the direction users should face in order to pray toward Mecca, even if they are in the desert with few reference points. Users simply input their location and the phone, which works in 500 cities worldwide, automatically points the way.

LG’s Time Machine TV with the built-in Quran facility is available in the Middle East and Africa markets in 42 and 50-inch sizes.

As mobile phones become more sophisticated and gain more convergence features, they are also becoming more complicated to use. Today’s mobile handsets are no longer just voice devices – they have continued to evolve, first into multimedia gadgets and now into almighty remote controls for almost all aspects of our lives. This makes limiting the number of functions in a phone out of the question. Instead, user-friendly interfaces can make it possible for a handset to hold all these functions and features in a well-organized structure while maintaining a sophisticated look.

As content and services are becoming increasingly important features on mobile phone, the interface that enables users to freely navigate through all the games and music and ringtones and videos, has become a major factor determining a phone’s success in the marketplace. A well-designed user interface (UI) not only enhances a phone’s usability, but also affects its appearance making a truly integrated and streamlined design possible.

LG Electronics (LG), a worldwide technology and design leader in mobile communications, is working toward this goal with an advanced new user interface on its new the LG KF600 handset. This includes LG’s unique InteractPad™, which makes the LG KF600 fun, easy and intuitive to use, without sacrificing advanced features. The LG KF600 is more than just functional; it’s also big on style winning a 2008 iF product design award with its trendy slider form factor, glossy finish and interface themes inspired by Keith Haring.

The LG KF600 is set apart by the InteractPad™, a touch-sensitive virtual navigation keypad located just below the phone’s main display. It replaces physical navigation keys with contextspecific virtual keys that change to fit the task at hand. When sending text messages, the InteractPad™ shows just the right keys to accomplish the task easily. When using the multimedia player, the InteractPad™ changes to make it easy to browse through albums, cue up songs or adjust the volume.

Another differentiator for this phone is its collection of eight dynamic graphic interface themes that are stylish and fun. Each gives the phone a different character that can act as an extension of its owner’s personality. These themes affect all aspects of the LG KF600’s interface including the InteractPad™.

"This is an exciting product for us at LG Mobile. The LG KF600 takes usability to a new level that could not be achieved without the fresh and innovative InteractPad™. Using the InteractPad™ is so intuitive and natural to use that it seems almost as if it is reading your mind. It is truly in a class of its own," said Mr. K W Kim, President Middle East & Africa of LG Electronics. “I see this phone as part of an emerging trend in mobile phones with advance interfaces that make them easier to use, but also fun and interesting.”

Video Home & Electronic Centre conducted a workshop on "BUSINESS PLANNING FOR RESULTS" from June 10-12, 2007 for their Business Units Heads.

The workshop was conducted by K. Jayshankar, Managing Director, Empowered Learning Systems, India.

Doha, Qatar, June 27, 2007: All people, regardless of where they are or where they are from, want to live better and healthier lives. With today’s technological progress, these aspirations are now becoming reality. In particular, the home appliance industry is increasingly looking for ways to meet the growing health awareness of consumers by incorporating health-conscious features into their products.

The Middle East and Africa have come to the forefront of this trend, as the region’s unprecedented rapid development has caused a great deal of environmental side-effects that are significantly affecting people’s health.

In 2006, LG conducted a vast market survey throughout the Middle East and Africa region to understand consumers’ health concerns. More than 1,000 people participated in the survey across the region; 100 from Qatar,152 from the United Arab Emirates (UAE), 255 from the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia (KSA), 262 in Iran and 256 in South Africa.

More than 90 per cent of participants stated that health was one of their biggest concerns today, and that they have experienced more health-related problems over the last 12 months. Respiratory-, skin-, nutrition-related diseases rated as most common across the region.

"At LG we do a great deal of research into what is most important to our customers and we found that people in the Middle East and Africa are very concerned about living healthy lives,” said Mr. B Y Kim, General Manager- LG Appliances –LG Electronics Middle East and Africa. “Our new products are based on the insights and ideas that we get from our thorough research on the market."

LG is introducing its full health-friendly product line, including air conditioners, refrigerators, washing machines, light wave ovens, vacuum cleaners and air purifiers.

Doha, Qatar, June 13, 2007: Global and regional digital leader LG Electronics, a leading player in the global flat panel display market, launched its new 2007 line of premium Full HD LCD and plasma TVs in Qatar.

LG’s new Full HD TV range – comprising the LB7 series LCD TVs and the PY3 and PY1 series plasma TVs – all deliver natural-looking and incredibly lifelike images with resolutions of 1920 x 1080p and LG’s proprietary XD Engine image enhancing technology. The Full HD TV range is available at outlets of Video Home, the exclusive distributor for LG Electronics’ LCD and Plasma TV in Qatar.

"These Full HD TV models reflect LG’s global leadership as a developer of advanced flat panel displays and digital HDTV technologies," said Mr. C Y Kim, General Manager (TV Division) of LG Gulf Electronics, at a press launch in Doha today. “The TVs have twice the resolution of previous HD TVs and are packed with features. The image quality is so clear, it is like looking through a window – but these windows have all won design awards from iF and red dot.”

Mr. C. V. Rappai, Director/ General Manager of Video Home, said that LG’s Full HD TV range represented the next leap in television viewing. “LG Electronics has an immense heritage in LCD and Plasma TVs across the globe. The popularity of their products has been proven time and again. We are delighted to be a part of this launch and look forward to continuing success with this partnership,” he said.

The LG Full HD TV range allows viewers to truly feel the sensation through the screen, whether they are watching their favourite TV shows, sport matches or the latest blockbuster. To accompany the first-class technology and picture quality, the range is accented with a wave-inspired design that gives it a simple yet elegant look.

All models use LG’s exclusive XD engine technology, allowing them to display video from Full HD 1080p sources at their native resolution without scaling or loss of quality. The Full HD LCD TV, LG’s flagship model, a 10000:1 contrast ratio and a response time under five milliseconds.

LG’s Full HD LCD TVs are optimised for movie viewing: LG’s Full HD processing takes low-resolution analog signals to near high-definition levels (1080p), and also reproduces crisp images by displaying the original pictures without blurring or distortion.

Intelligent Eye technology optimises brightness and contrast, accounting for ambient light; and LG’s proprietary Dimple Speaker design provides clear and powerful sound at any volume, creating a complete movie watching experience.

Available in 42-inch and 47-inch sizes, the minimalist LB7 Full HD LCD TVs feature LG’s new wave bar design at the bottom of the frame. The modern design and matte finish ensure that the images on screen remain the focus, with no gaudy distractions. The LCD models offer True Viewing Angle technology, which minimises colour distortion and provides stable and accurately represented images from all angles.

LG’s Full HD Plasma TV range is a dream come true for action movie lovers or sports buffs. The PY1 (71-inch) and PY3 (60-inch) series of Full HD plasma TVs include LG’s 100Hz Driving technology. This ultra-high refresh rate ensures that every single frame of fast moving programs can be viewed clearly. Making these TVs more attractive is their depth of only 450 mm and touch screen control panel.

LG’s proprietary Dimple Speaker technology is integrated into all models for crisp yet powerful sound. LG SimpLink connectivity gives users complete control over compatible equipment such as DVD players and home theatres with a single remote control. All of these models include 2 HDMI ports for maximum connectivity with game consoles, and digital video cameras.

LG has teamed with the Cannes Film festival to promote these new Full HD TVs and the viewing experience they offer, becoming a sponsor.

Announces launch of latest range of colour inkjet MFCs in MyHome Series and MyOffice Series segments for the Middle East market

Brother Gulf, a global leader in the development and manufacturing of printing, communication and digital imaging products for homes, SOHOs and enterprises, and a subsidiary of Brother Group, Japan, has devised an ambitious strategy to increase its business by 50 per cent in the Middle East in the year 2007. As a first step towards consolidating its market share, Brother Gulf has announced the launch of a whole range of innovative colour inkjet Multifunction Centres (MFCs) in the regional markets under the MyHome and MyOffice Series segments. Meanwhile, Brother also announced that it recently manufactured the 10 millionth unit of its colour inkjet MFC, which underlines the demand for this product globally.

Brother’s new range of colour inkjet MFCs incorporates the latest in ink droplet technology that ensures true-to-life photo printouts every time. Consumers prefer MFCs - printers that come with built-in scanners and fax modems, and double as copiers and fax machines - as these offer a cost-effective solution with a single machine requiring one set of consumables as against investing in several machines that need different sets of consumables. These devices occupy far less space than that required to accommodate several Single Function Devices (SFDs) and are therefore ideally suited for modern, small offices and homes where space is a major constraint.

Brother’s expertise in MFCs has been driving the global IT industry for a number of years. We are now poised to consolidate our position in the Middle East region through a more focused approach to the market by providing top-of-the-range MFCs. We are confident that the new product line up will boost the company's market share of colour inkjet MFCs in the region,” said Yoshihisa Tsuji, Managing Director, Brother Gulf.

The new range of MFCs will have the trademark quality and efficiency features that have become synonymous with Brother’s products, offering longer lasting prints with brighter colours and sharper images. Brother has been constantly innovating in the area of MFCs and the results are reflected in the highly advanced systems. Many of these products have succeeded in blurring the lines between professional and home-user quality, and have made it affordable for consumers to own high quality equipment that gives professional results at affordable prices, added Tsuji.

This new generation of colour inkjet printers in the MyHome Series is made up of the DCP130C, DCP330C and DCP540CN (all three are in 4-in-1 category), MFC240C and MFC440CN in 6-in – 1 category and MFC665CW in 9-in-1 category that are most suited to the needs of home users. These models offer users a versatile and cost-effective solution for speedy and economical printing, scanning and copying.

Targeting the home segment, DCP130C and DCP330C models have been designed to be more compact, enhanced and upgraded with new features including higher print speed; the continuous paper feed mode with Dual Purpose tray (Photo Tray); easier cartridge accessibility and easy replacement and PictBridge. The innovative PictBridge hardware enables users to directly print photos which are stored in digital camera. The DCP330C comes with 32 MB memory card slots and a 2-inch colour LCD, which enables the user to see the particular document or picture that needs to be printed. This feature is especially useful while printing photographs from digital cameras and digital memory cards.

Similarly, the easy-to-use MFC440CN model comes with a built-in Automatic Document Feeder (ADF) and Network Card that supports network printing, scanning and Photo Capture Centre in addition to the standard memory of 32 MB and extra Photo Tray capable of printing 4” X 6” size photographs. The top-of-the line MFC665CW offers users wireless connectivity, a 2.5 colour LCD and fax review feature, making this printer ideal for personal use in the home or office in an ADSL environment. The unique fax review feature allows the user to choose and delete the unwanted faxes or print the important ones. With an integrated handset, speakerphone, and answering machine, this model is also equipped to handle multiple needs and connectivity options in a network-enabled home or home office.

The MyOffice Series caters to the different needs of modern SOHOs with the line-up of three MFC models, MFC3360C, MFC5460CN and MFC 5860CN. These models are designed for small and medium sized offices/business segment users and therefore, these models have a more rugged build, and are equipped with a 33.6 kbps high-speed modem. The new models offer printing, faxing, copying, scanning, direct photo print, mono PC fax sending. While the MFC3360 has an integrated handset, and speaker phone, the MFC 5460CN and the MFC 5860CN are Network ready.

Brother’s entire new range of colour inkjet MFC’s come with Innobella ink cartridges and photo papers. Innobella Ink and Paper are fade resistant thus ensuring that prolonged exposure to light and ozone will not cause printouts to fade with time. Innobella Ink also contains carefully selected chemicals to prevent clogging of the print head for smoother operation. This ensures reliability and durability of the MyHome Series and MyOffice Series. With a unique chemical formulation coating the paper surface, printing with Innobella Glossy Photo Paper will result in high quality prints with richer colours, sharper images and better definition. Photographs can now be printed at home, without the high costs of a Photo printer.

"After surveying customers’ needs and carrying out rigorous research and development, Brother began developing its most innovative range of colour inkjet MFCs. With the new hardware, software and genuine consumables in the MyHome and My Office Series, Brother aims to be the preferred choice of colour inkjet More-in-One’s for users in the Middle East," concluded Tsuji.

Say "Jumbo" and everyone in Qatar thinks electronics and household appliances. Since 1980, we have met with the aspirations of generations who want the best in state-of-the-art convenience. People who want to live big!

Aside from the immensely sought after LG audio-visual entertainment electronics and home appliances, our product range consists of the biggest global brands. These brands provide the latest technology in air conditioners, electronics, IT and office automation, white goods, mobiles etc.

Having over 10 branches in different parts of the country, Jumbo Electronics provides the convenience of accessibility. No outlet is too far from you. And all branches are marked by the same product range and professional sales service that have made Jumbo the choice in home electronics.

Seoul, Korea, January 16, 2007- LG Electronics (LG), a pioneer and leader in Home Appliance convergence, today announced that LG continued its run as the top air conditioners manufacturer for the seventh consecutive year. Last year was also the third consecutive year that LG had shipped more than 10 million air conditioner units worldwide.

According to Fuji-Keizai Co., Ltd., a Japanese market research company, 62.97 million air conditioning units were sold worldwide in 2006, with LG responsible for 19.5 percent of the total, or 12.28 million units.

"Last year, LG was deeply committed to innovating in all areas, ranging from sales to R&D to marketing strategies. This helped us sell more than 10 million air conditioners worldwide and retain our number one position in terms of global market share, which we have held for the past seven years," said Mr. Young-ha Lee, CEO of LG Digital Appliance Company.

"With our cutting-edge technology, LG will keep developing new products to enhance our global marketing activities, and cement our status as a leading digital home appliance company worldwide."

This year, LG plans to expand its overseas production rate to 60 percent, with a production target of 16 million air conditioners. The company’s overseas production rate in 2006 was 55 percent, accounting for 14.80 million units. LG has six worldwide R&D centers for system air conditioners – Korea, North America, China, Asia, Europe and the CIS - and will continue to expand its R&D efforts through 2010. It will also exert more efforts in global marketing for its system air conditioners, creating a complete business offering in overseas markets, from product development and manufacturing to sales and service.

To build on this momentum, LG introduced its 2007 line-up of air conditioners at the Seoul Millennium Hilton Hotel on January 16, 2007. The company introduced 103 new air conditioner models for 2007, with an emphasis on health-conscious features and natural design trends that accent the energy of natural materials.

These new models boast a number of health-conscious features that are part of what LG calls its “Total Health Solution.” These models feature LG’s Purifying Care System, and have a series of filters – ranging from white gold deodorizers to catechin, HEPA (high efficiency particulate air) and photocatalysts – to keep air fresh. LG’s air conditioners also feature robot dusting and automatic sterilization drying functions, to keep the inside of the unit dirt- and dust-free. The robot dusting function, which is incorporated inside LG’s air conditioners, daily cleans out dust hidden in filters and also keeps the unit clean. The automatic sterilization drying function sterilizes the inside of the heat exchanger and the surface of the pan, suppressing 99.9 percent of mold and bacteria.

LG’s new 2007 air conditioners will be launched in Korea today, and will soon be available worldwide.

Video Home & Electronics Centre, the authorized distributor of Brother Products in Qatar conducted a product seminar recently.

The seminar was attended by their corporate customers, dealers and their retail staff. The world’s first A3 Colour Inkjet Multi Function centre was unveiled during the seminar. The product was launched recently in Dubai during the Gitex and Qatar is the first country in the Middle East after Dubai to launch the new model.

Mr. Sohail Kidwai, Deputy General Manager from Brother International made a presentation on the new model and also on the complete range of Brother Products.

Brother Gulf, is a global leader in the development and manufacturing of printing, communication and digital imaging products for homes, SOHOs and enterprises. The latest MFC (Model - MFC-6490CW) is part of the ‘Justio’ series and is the first ever ‘Professional Series’ Colour Inkjet from Brother, which incorporates the manufacturer’s pioneering ‘Tube Engine Method’ for printing. With dimensions measuring a mere 540 (W) x 488 (D) x 323 (H) millimetres, the printer is ideal for shops, home offices and businesses with limited space as it provides the ability to print, copy, scan and fax up to A3 size.

The launch of the latest A3 Colour Inkjet MFC is a part of the company’s plans to introduce 11 new colour inkjet printers – 9 for the Home & SOHO and 2 for the SMB segment, Incorporating Brother’s ‘Tube Engine method’ technology developed specifically for the commercial segment, the A3 MFC was downsized by separating the ink cartridge from the print head and connecting them via an ink supply tube, which has made miniaturization possible. In addition, the head for commercial products has two lines for black, which improves the output speed, as commercial products require higher monochrome output performance. Brother Gulf has planned for its latest models to hit the markets across the region in December 2008.

 Offering users a host of features including wireless networking, fast print speeds, an easy-to-read widescreen LCD display and intuitive controls, the world’s first A3 Colour Inkjet MFC incorporates a 50-sheet automatic document feeder, dual paper trays with up to 400 sheet total capacity and Super G3 33.6K bps fax modem. Capable of printing up to 35/28 pages per minute on black/colour, the A3 printer also has four separate ink cartridges, which enable the user to replace only the colour that is empty. Furthermore, the MFC-6490CW offers a best-in-class, one-year limited warranty, making it a considerable value when compared to other colour inkjet all-in-one units currently available on the market.

Dealers and Hypermarkets who had shown excellent performance during the year were awarded with mementos by Mr. Sohail and Mr. C.V Rappai, the Director & General Manager of Video Home group of companies.

Doha,Qatar, October 25, 2008: Keen to read the Quran on your TV set in the comfort of your home or bookmark your favourite phrases from the Holy Book at the flick of your TV remote? You can now, with LG’s latest Quran-enabled Time Machine TV.

Fresh from the success of its Qiblah mobile phone, digital leader LG Electronics has announced the Middle East-wide availability of the only TV in the world with built-in Quran, to honour the Holy Month of Ramadan.

LG’s latest Time Machine plasma TV allows viewers to read the Qur’an, search and bookmark passages and listen to scriptures – all on the TV screen. The Holy Qur’an incorporated into the plasma TV includes all of the 114 suras, allowing users to search for specific suras or verses and bookmark up to 10 favourites with record and stop button on the remote control.

 The innovative TV also allows viewers to listen to the Qur’an, an excellent feature for allowing several people to study and understand the scriptures together. A multilingual interface allows viewers to navigate and read the text in Arabic and Farsi. At the top of the screen is a status bar that displays the name of the sura, verse numbers and the time of day.

 “The built-in Qur’an TV will provide believers in Allah and his Prophet a new and rewarding way to experience the Holy Scriptures during the most sacred time of the year,” said Mr. H.S. Paik, President of LG Electronics Gulf FZE. “As a brand that respects Muslims, LG is committed to ensuring that we offer solutions that meet local needs, and the built-in Qur’an TV comes as a part of this effort.”

 In addition to its special features for Ramadan, this TV also includes LG’s Time Machine technology, which allows viewers to pause and rewind live TV shows, and record shows for later viewing. The built in 160 GB hard drive is large enough to store 40 football matches or 30 full-length movies.

The latest innovation follows the unprecedented success of LG’s Qiblah mobile handset, which notched up impressive sales especially in the GCC. The Qiblah Phone (LG-F7100) indicates the direction users should face in order to pray toward Mecca, even if they are in the desert with few reference points. Users simply input their location and the phone, which works in 500 cities worldwide, automatically points the way.

LG’s Time Machine TV with the built-in Quran facility is available in the Middle East and Africa markets in 42 and 50-inch sizes.

As mobile phones become more sophisticated and gain more convergence features, they are also becoming more complicated to use. Today’s mobile handsets are no longer just voice devices – they have continued to evolve, first into multimedia gadgets and now into almighty remote controls for almost all aspects of our lives. This makes limiting the number of functions in a phone out of the question. Instead, user-friendly interfaces can make it possible for a handset to hold all these functions and features in a well-organized structure while maintaining a sophisticated look.

As content and services are becoming increasingly important features on mobile phone, the interface that enables users to freely navigate through all the games and music and ringtones and videos, has become a major factor determining a phone’s success in the marketplace. A well-designed user interface (UI) not only enhances a phone’s usability, but also affects its appearance making a truly integrated and streamlined design possible.

LG Electronics (LG), a worldwide technology and design leader in mobile communications, is working toward this goal with an advanced new user interface on its new the LG KF600 handset. This includes LG’s unique InteractPad™, which makes the LG KF600 fun, easy and intuitive to use, without sacrificing advanced features. The LG KF600 is more than just functional; it’s also big on style winning a 2008 iF product design award with its trendy slider form factor, glossy finish and interface themes inspired by Keith Haring.

The LG KF600 is set apart by the InteractPad™, a touch-sensitive virtual navigation keypad located just below the phone’s main display. It replaces physical navigation keys with contextspecific virtual keys that change to fit the task at hand. When sending text messages, the InteractPad™ shows just the right keys to accomplish the task easily. When using the multimedia player, the InteractPad™ changes to make it easy to browse through albums, cue up songs or adjust the volume.

Another differentiator for this phone is its collection of eight dynamic graphic interface themes that are stylish and fun. Each gives the phone a different character that can act as an extension of its owner’s personality. These themes affect all aspects of the LG KF600’s interface including the InteractPad™.

"This is an exciting product for us at LG Mobile. The LG KF600 takes usability to a new level that could not be achieved without the fresh and innovative InteractPad™. Using the InteractPad™ is so intuitive and natural to use that it seems almost as if it is reading your mind. It is truly in a class of its own," said Mr. K W Kim, President Middle East & Africa of LG Electronics. “I see this phone as part of an emerging trend in mobile phones with advance interfaces that make them easier to use, but also fun and interesting.”

Video Home & Electronic Centre conducted a workshop on "BUSINESS PLANNING FOR RESULTS" from June 10-12, 2007 for their Business Units Heads.

The workshop was conducted by K. Jayshankar, Managing Director, Empowered Learning Systems, India.

This application - based workshop focused on equipping the Senior Managers with tools and techniques to prepare them for the rapid growth vision of Video Home Group of Companies.
