Page 1 of Aiwa 370?

I`m planning on investing in a new Sony STRDB940 A/V receiver, mission speakers and a new dvd player. But WHICH ONE???? Decent CD playback is essential, and MP3 and multi-region would be great. Preferably around the £300 mark. Anyone got any ideas? Maybe the Aiwa 370?

ooh, a chance to scoop Jimbo on spreading the good word on the 370...I`ll take it.

check through the forum mate - the 370 is highly regarded with all the feature you are looking for.

BUT......

they are almost totally sold out as far as I`m aware - they aren`t being restocked until March. If you find one in comet it is likely an ex-display or repaired return.

I believe the LG 3350 is closely related to it but a bit more expensive. I`m sure I will be corrected if this is not true.

I couldn`t be arsed waiting and bought a Scan 2 weeks ago. I have had no bother at all with it and in my opinion it is a fine machine. Still, if I had £300 to spend I probably wouldn`t bother with the Scan - the extra £115 in your budget brings tastier machines into reach

Even Aiwa`s marketing dept. are screwed up on this...news on the site tomorrow!!

Depends where you buy, but in general, 20 to 30 quid dearer!

AIWA 370 ROCKS!!!!!!!!!
(What site you say? http://www.choosefirst.co.uk of course! :oÞ)

Jimbo, I can`t get into your site (ohh Matron!). Just dumps me to a Tripod signup page.

same thing happened to me - I signed up as a new member but then it said I needed to ask permission to get in?

I fear the unknown and left it there.......

>"I fear the unknown and left it there......."

ROFL!!! LMAO AGAIN!!!

Anyways, dunno what`s wrong, I`ll delete it all and re upload it tonight.

Found out at bedtime it wasn`t working!

AIWA 370 (officially) ROCKS!!!!!!!!!
(and guess who just got his first delivery of movies? no requests in here guys, email only...don`t wanna upset Robert and Mark!)

Thats great guys. The Aiwa 370 sure does sound like a good idea. But having searched around the web a while.... it doesnt seem to exist! Where on earth do I buy it, I cant find it on the comet website as suggested, or anywhere else for that matter.... HELP!

If you CAN find a 370, let us all know where, `cos I can`t!!

Anyways, info now available at http://www.choosefirst.co.uk

and yeah, it`s up and running again guys!

AIWA 370 (officially) ROCKS!!!!!

Or failing getting an Aiwa (has anyone else noticed that you use `an` when the starting letter of the next word is a vowel......not that it matters but still!)

.......yeah if you can`t get an Aiwa get a Toshiba 100!! Better than the Aiwa :oP and avalible!!!!!!!

P.s Hello Jimbo!!! I keep trying to steal potential Awia owners. :oP
-Well we gotta slow these shortages of the Aiwa somehow, and if that means making them pay less to get a better DVD player then thats what we will have to do!!!!! :oP

-Hope things are well all!!!!!

The Toshiba is very nice indeed, but it doesn`t play CD-R`s nor CD-RW`s, it can`t play MP3 discs andyou`ll have to get it modified to be multiregion.

My choice? In alphabetical order:
Aiwa 370 (nowhere to be seen)
LG 3350E (no VCD playback though)
Pioneer DV-535
Toshiba SD100E
