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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great receiver for only ..., November 26, 2001

By	Crystal Medford (Granite City, IL USA) - See all my reviews

After listening to receivers by such brands as Sony, JVC, Kenwood, Pioneer, and Onkyo, I found the Aiwa AV-D58 to be the best sounding, except for the Onkyo. But at only ..., more than half the price of the Onkyo, this Aiwa was a far better value. The sound is very good, especially when listening to Dolby Digital and DTS encoded DVDs. Pro Logic is great, as well, but 2-channel sound is lacking. One of the best features here is the Super T-Bass system, which dramtically improves the bass if you're not using a powered sub. I only have it set at the second level, anything higher than that and the bass starts to sound too boomy. Other than that, this is very nice sounding receiver that's worth far more than only ....

5.0 out of 5 stars Bargain Value For The Price!, December 20, 2001

By	Martin A Hogan "Marty From SF" (San Francisco, CA. (Hercules)) - See all my reviews (TOP 100 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)

Always looking for bargains that contain all the features I need, I discovered this AWAI-D58. Not only is it inexpensive for the options you recieve, but they are high-class options. Dolby Digital is common, but this reciever has DTS-5.1 digital decoding, which means you can buy those DTS Concert DVD's and listen to them as they were meant to be listened to. The reciever has five speakers (2-Front/2-back/one-subwoofer) outputs. It even has an audio analog input to accept a decoded DVD. In other words, you cannot go wrong.

I use this with my APEX AD-1.500 DVD player. It's almost as good as a professional loud theatre without all the distractions. Lap it up now!
