Summary: Good sound - good value
Review: I purchased this system to compliment my 4 year old RCA projection tv and my new JVC DVD player. The main factor driving me towards this purchase was quality of this system for the price I was paying. Now 2 months later I am still very pleased with this purchase. The instructions provided were very easy to follow - considering I had about 4 devices all hooked together now. They even provide an 800 number to call in case something is not working right or you have a question about the instructions. The sound quality is also very good and the dolby sounds awesome. There are several EQ presets available to choose from as well as a karaoke feature (which to be honest I have yet to use). I have not had any trouble with reception issues at all. If you don't have a lot to spend on your home theater system but still want something that compliments your other components this is for you.

Summary: Aiwa mini systems have CD problems
Review: My son has an Aiwa mini system that the 3-CD changer has quit working after about 15 months of use. In researching on the web, I found this to not be unusual for many Aiwa mini systems.

We will not buy Aiwa again.

Summary: Be honest
Review: Okay, people seem to have trouble with Aiwa's CD changers.They do seem to go nuts after a while, but seriously, some WD-40 andsome love can fix that in no time. the fact that you screwed up you system playing scratched CDs and messed up tapes is a bad reason to diss a solid system. This is the latest attempt from Aiwa to make a system comparable in both the large markets and the small markets. It offers good sound, without much clipping until max levels, and is decent in size. This is the kind of system designed for college and boarding school students. It has enough power to shake the room, but is not enough to be a pro. my friends and I use this as a secondary surround to our "station", which harbors a Klipsch primaries and this system. really, like most of Aiwa's stuff, this is a good system. If you are a serious sound afficionado, you might want to go Klipsch, or something else higher up. But if you want a simple, yet impressive system to blast for you, go with one of these. they are a good deal, and work well mixed with other brands.

my computer system is a CambridgeSoundWorks subwoofer and two Aiwa sattelites. mix and match and you will get good results from this baby. END

Summary: Great system! But there are other options...
Review: Prior to purchasing this system, I also demo'ed its sister lower-endsystem (NSX-MT720) and two other systems I wasinterested in: the Panasonic SC-AK57 and Sony MHC-RXD7AV in retail stores. I listened to Miles Davis and other jazz CD's on the Aiwa, Sony, and Panasonic in stores before buying, and was duly impressed with the sound I got from all three. At the time, however, I was most impressed by the sound I would get from the Aiwa for less $$$, and so far I have not been disappointed with the bang-for-the-buck that the NSX-MT920 has delivered. I have not had any problems with "muffled" sound that I've seen in other reviews, although the system, if anything, could be too powerful for the one-bedroom apartment I live in. The Dolby Pro Logic system delivers excellent sound with Dolby Surround-encoded VHS tapes and gives me more incentive to go to Blockbuster video and actually rent something.

If you want to listen to rap music and boom your stereo all day, the Aiwa system is certainly for you. However, if you are more concerned with clarity (i.e. if you are listening to classical, jazz, and the like), either the Panasonic SCAK57 or Sony MHC-RXD7AV I think will serve you better for the same price... I still believe the NSX-MT920 is a good value for its current price. Additionally, I believe the NSX-MT720 is also more than enough for the casual listener's home theater needs.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Adequate system for a nice price
Review: The main influence on my purchase of this system was the cost. I was unable to find a system with half the power for the price. The system has a good, clear, room filling sound. As well, it makes an excellent starer system for a home theatre. However, I was dissapointed with the FM and AM reception. As well, I would suggest the purchase of a subwoofer for anyone seeking serious bass response from this unit.

Rating: 3 stars
Summary: Decent system
Review: This Aiwa system (like many of the company's products), has some serious problems with it. My friend picked it up about a year ago, and since then its only been downhill.

The CD changer conked out, the tape deck became a hazard to his tapes.

But its low price ensures that it will still be an attractive option. It does well with most types of music. However there is a bit too much Harmonic Distortion at higher volumes, which is quite noticeable(unless you only listen to heavy metal :)) It might look like a giveaway price at first, but look into it carefully...you may be getting more hassles that you bargained for.

My advice is to go for the Panasonic SC-AK58, which has similar specifications to this stereo, but with better overall quality.
