Page 1 of Aiwa Ht-DV90 / Sanyo AVD8501 Home Cinema Sound Systems

Does anyone out their use either of these systems, if so I would appreciate your views on them.

If I also may ask which home cinemas sound systems would someone recommend for the £400 - £500 (UK Pounds) level.

I would like the system to be able to read CDR/RW`s and play MP3 files.

Thanks

just got the sanyo player 8501 ipaid 299 for it at powerhouse. its the same price at currys to.
it a good all round player i have had 11 dvd players in the space of 2 years this has been the best 1 so far, the others were mostly cheap 1s though apart from a toshiba which my dad still uses.
the mp3 seamed a bit off though. i`ve tried a cdr and a cdrw, with tracks recorded at 56kbs, it sounds abit funny like there a beat missing or something, it myte just be the discs ive used or the mp3 compression.its the first time ive recorded any mp3 before hope this helps you.
simon

I have just recently got the Aiwa XR-DV700, £347 from QED £50 cheaper than curries etc, and i am very impressed with it!!....the sound quality is absolutely spot on and it looks even better!

....but can they be hacked for multiregion? I would make sure that what ever you get can be, as you`ll miss out on a lot of good prices otherwise (and earlier release dates!)
Sorry if I`m teaching granny to suck eggs!

Hi

I recently purchase the Sanyo AVD8501 from Powerhouse as well for £299.

REALLY please with it.

I got mine chipped from Steve at http://www.dvdchips.co.uk/
which is based in Halifax. I tried to get it chipped here in
Edinburgh but the shop did not have the specfic CD required
and Steve was the only person I found that had.

Does anyone know how I can use the surround sound system, so I can listien to the TV and video through it rather than just DVD`s???
