Summary: Over Limit
Review: i really do like this reciever, but the volume needs to be cranked to get a good fidelity. also some kind of 'mid' range control would be nice, but for the price, i did not expect a delorian. one thing that is extremely annoying (maybe someone can help me here) is this red "over limit" warning that keeps flashing on and off. i did what the manual says to compensate for this but the thing keeps coming back on. it does this for both my cd player and phono... oh well, as long as nothing breaks. i hope this problem does not persist.

Summary: Wimpy
Review: I'm not a head-banger or a play-it-loud freak by any means. But I was amazed at how little volume came out of this thing. I guess you get what you pay for. Thank goodness for Amazon's easy return policy!

Summary: Died after two years
Review: The power supply died after less than two years of mild use. Now I have to trash it? The sound was so-so, with a high pitch all the time. Good for begginers.

Summary: Great receiver, lousy remote.
Review: This is one great receiver. For the price you can't go wrong. Two things though that kept it from 5 stars. The remote is awful. I mean really bad. To change the volume in the center and surrounds you have to hold down two buttons at once. That happens alot when you use the remote. Also, if it has 5.1 analog inputs i can't find them. But as far as sound quality it's excellent.Thanks highlander for the info. I still think you need 5.1 analog inputs for DVD-Audio. I'm not sure Aiwa knows what it's talking about. I've been thinking about buying some DVD-Audio but i'm afraid it won't work with the digital input. Also that "over limit" light is annoying.

Summary: Great bang for the buck
Review: This system is one of the better ones I have heard in the past few years. This is probably my third surround sound system in the last 2 years, and this one tops them all. It has exuberant features that you would find on higher-priced receivers from Harman/Kardon and Pioneer. It does deliver enough power for most applications, from small rooms (with mid-night theatre mode enabled) to large living rooms. The optical and digital inputs really come in handy when playing PlayStation2 games and watching a DVD on the computer. This system is also very sonically accurate. I use this system for sound development for an upcoming computer game. I wanted excellent sound performance without going bankrupt. And I found it.
