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.

I bought this receiver mainly because of the Super T-Bass System because I didn't have the money for a Subwoofer at the time. Boy was I impressed!!! Not only is the T-Bass awsome but the Dolby Digital, DTS, and DSP surround sound sounds really awsome. The only complaints I have is the unit is supposed to have 5.1 analog inputs like others wrote about but it doesn't. The other complaint is if you turn the volume up past 39 it cuts the bass half way off, since I don't own a sub this is a nusance. But most the time 80watts x5 is enough power for me. I have now had this Receiver for 2 years and have not had any problems with it. For [the money] the Aiwa AV-D58 is a great buy!!!

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.

I just purchased this reciever from BestBuy and am very impressed with it. This has the features of the higher end recievers at a fraction of the cost. With both DTS and Dolby Digital it fits nicely into my system. This is a replacement and an upgrade from a very old Pioneer reciever.

I actually called the AIWA company asking about this and they told me that it does have the 5.1 audio inputs. It does not have the actual 5 inputs, you have to use the optical input on the receiver to use it. It is the one located at the top left corner on the back of the receiver. I could only give it 4 stars, the remote is extremely pathetic. Other than that, it is a nice inexpensive system that will serve the avg. consumer very well with very good quality for the price.
