Aiwa AV-D58 Audio/Video Receiver

Product Description
Amazon.com Review
An incredible value, Aiwa's AV-D58 brings in Dolby Digital and DTS 5.1-channel surround decoding, multiple digital-audio inputs, simulated surround processing, and an impressive 80 watts per channel for well under the $300 floor that used to be the norm for such features. Surround listening (through left, center, right, and left and right surround speakers and a subwoofer) heightens the realism of both DVD movies and, more recently, music.

In the event that you decide to upgrade to a high resolution DVD-Audio player, this receiver offers 5.1-channel analog inputs to accept a decoded DVD-Audio output. (DVD-Audio signals are too high-resolution for most digital-audio inputs.) With full features and an affordable price, this receiver is the perfect excuse to take your DVD enjoyment to the next level.

Product Description:
The Dynamic Integrated New Amplifier of the stereo receiver AV-D58 is a brand-new amplifier system where clear mid-to-high range frequency sound, as well as rich low frequency sound, can be reproduced and listeners can enjoy the close-to-original sound with less distortion at either high or low volume levels.

Save up for something a little better.......2006-08-06

I know it's tempting and to be honest it hasn't broken or anything but . . .

Power output is so poor, I can crank to full volume and it really isn't overly loud = no headroom = overburdening the amp = sucky sound quality overall.

Controlls are not well laid out. Adjustments for balance of rears to main for dolby is weird. I always have to get my manual out to figure out how to get to it. Some changes must be made with the remote you can't use the front panel controlls.

Remote is a piece of junk.

All in all, save another $100 bucks and get something else

Died after two years.......2003-10-19

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.

Go Awia!!!.......2003-06-03

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!!!

I had a couple of '80s model Pioneer components that needed to retire and all I wanted to do was listen to my movies in stereo. I only have 2 Pioneer speakers right now and a pre-digital stereo TV. I also have a DVD, VCR, satellite and Playstation.

I research anything that I have to shell out over 50 bucks for, so this was no different. For the money, this one seems to create some extra salivation that I wasn't used in my non-digital world!

So many settings and jacks for components (even for turntables). The buttons are sooo fun to play with. It can make any stereo TV sound like a theater!! (I do seem to have to crank the volume when running from only the TV, but not from the other components). There are several audio settings for different (and really cool) effects, and a built-in digital EQ for those of us who need to "tweek" our sound. There are RCA jacks in the front so you can plug in that extra toy you only get out every once in a while like the camcorder, or if you want to dub from another component. The radio tunes perfectly, the digital readout is wonderful, and it all runs on a remote (it's good to pamper yourself once in a while).

It takes the "stripped wire" speaker wires and it clips them in place instead of that spring-loaded thing. It looks really bulky, but it's actually real lightweight and easy to move around. I didn't have to buy anything extra to get it to sound good.

If you're still running on that old system, you won't be disappointed! I haven't found anything this doesn't do, it even says "Hello" and "Goodbye". I've had this for at least a year now with no problems (except the sound still gives me goosebumps). And, it's way ahead of me if I ever decide to upgrade my other components.

5.1 Audio Inputs?.......2002-02-05

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.
