Found a website selling an Aiwa for £169.99 inc, but I`m not sure what model it is. It looks like a 370 but it seems to have extra karaoke style controls on the fascia. The description also mentions DD 5.1!
I`ve never ordered anything from this site and so can`t vouch for them.
Could this be the 370`s successor, or am I talking all old bollocks?

I don`t think it`s the sucessor Troll, but a different model.
It definitely has the same casing as the 370, and the same looks. couldn`t find the references to Karaoke, but can see the 3 controls and 2 mic inputs on the players picture.
(thats another thing I was gonna speak to you about re: the 3350, the board has the spaces for the components for Karaoke, but I couldn`t see the point, so I didn`t mention it)
Makes me even more sure now that the 370 decoder is in there and jut not linked up. I`m gonna wire it and see how it goes!
AIWA 370 (officially) ROCKS!!!!!!!

I bet they don`t have any (they better bloody not anyway!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) Hed were sellimg it for £164 but I miised out on that as well.
It is an Aiwa 370 for £169.99 but one that is made for the South American market - the North American version does have the 5.1 outputs so maybe this one will too
I`ve ordered one so i will let you know!

Yep, I can`t speak Spanish, but thats definitely the same player.
If you look at the specs listed though, you can make out "Dolby digital /DTS connectors" not 5.1 though. (recent Orbitron players had this on the box..5.1 outputs, but didnt have a decoder, just a digital connection) and there`s nothing on that spec that looks remotely like the word Karaoke!! Could it be a picture of what the 370 PROTOTYPE was? Maybe not, but it`ll be interesting to hear when the first player arrives with whoever ordered it!
And yeah, I`d LOVE pics of the Karaoke compnents!! (not that Karaoke means anything to me, just so I can have the most fully loaded 370 in the UK! lol)
