Pros: Fantastic sound with the speakers!
Cons: Haven't found a hack for it yet. Not many product-reviews!
The Bottom Line: A hack NEEDS to be found, but definitely a sweet-looking little toy to have and definitely worth the price I paid for it!

| joshuatreedr's Full Review: Aiwa HT-DV1 Theater System |
I bought my ht-dv1 a few months ago. I first bought it for the aesthetics. Designed with simplicity, yet with a sense of style. So far, I've been really pleased with it. The sound is fantastic, and the menu's pretty user friendly, as is the slick remote. A couple of disappointments though; the first one being that there's still no available hack for the machine. The other one is that the machine freezes if the dvd's scratched (which is bound to happen with rented dvds). The machine seems a bit confused when it reads a pretty bad scratch and takes time to get back to normal. Other than that, the image quality on my non-digital tv is pretty crisp, and the sound (again) is quite amazing. The front left and right speakers came with stylish stands. Woulda been nicer if it came with an extra 2 for the back left and right speakers. I ended up paying an extra US$70 for another pair of stands. All is all, I think that the sound quality is the best feature and makes up for all the other not-so-perfect details. CDs and mp3s come up with great sound as well. One drawback is that there's not too much of an option for sound enhancements. 3 surround settings do not seem to be enough (so much more could be done with all those speakers!)even if Bass and Treble can be somewhat controlled. Oh yeah...another drawback, one that I didn't find out until after I bought it (with the lack of reviews and all...) and probably the most significant one, is that there is NO Audio In input, which means that if I want to connect my computer or my VCR to it, I need a 3rd unic called a Receiver (just learned about those too!) There is an Audio OUT input (for the Receiver, I suppose).
