Aiwa AV-D98 Audio/Video Receiver description
AIWA's flagship AV-D98 surround receiver offers 120 watts across five channels, dynamic 5.1-channel digital surround processing, and Aiwa's Dynamic Integrated Neo Amplifier technology (DINA). Using DINA, the AV-D98 delivers higher dynamic range, increased headroom, lower distortion, and a wider audio soundstage than did previous Aiwa receivers.

Surround Processing
The AV-D98 is fixed to support Dolby Digital, Dolby Pro Logic, and DTS multichannel decoding from digital-audio bit streams supplied by your DVD player, DSS receiver, game console, or high-definition set-top box. Thirty preset DSP algorithms give you a choice of other ambient settings for your music, movies, or TV.

Connections
The receiver offers a full complement of inputs and outputs, including three digital-audio inputs (two optical, one coaxial), an optical digital-audio output (for a CD or minidisc recorder), and even 5.1-channel analog inputs to support DVD-Audio and Super Audio CD (SACD) players, which output multichannel high-resolution analog rather than digital audio.

Other connections include a phono input for your turntable, a dedicated subwoofer output, two S-video inputs and three S-video outputs, three A/V inputs, four A/V outputs, and one set of front A/V inputs.

Other Features
You'll also get an AM/FM digital-synthesized tuner, a multibrand remote control, a graphic equalizer with five factory presets and the option to save five more, BBE sound enhancement, Super T-Bass, banana-plug-ready binding-post speaker terminals, and two AC outlets (switched, unswitched).

Aiwa AV-D98 Audio/Video Receiver Customer Reviews

♥♥♥♥♥

Great receiver for the money.

I bought this receiver as a set with the speakers (SX-AVR2900). If this review was for the whole set, I would have to give the system a lower score, but since this is purely for the receiver I would have to say it's a great buy. I paid about $200 for the whole thing. As far as features go, it has them all. You can adjust the sounds in just about any way. Switching from Dolby Digital to DTS could be easier but I can get over that. The remote is useful since it can be programed to everything except your DVD player (unless that too is an Aiwa). I had an old Aiwa DVD player, so I hooked it up for a while but tended to just use the DVD player's remote since the Receiver's remote seemed to lack. I have since hooked up a better DVD player since I don't use the universal remote part anymore. As far as the stock speakers, as surround goes, they are great. As for main speakers, I would replace the front left and right speaker for more power. The subwoofer and center speaker is fine. I have had the system for about 2 years and had no problems and tons of compliments while watching movies. I bought this because it was relatively cheap and had many features for the price. Overall, a great buy.
