Pros: Excellent performance for the price.
Cons: Sound interrupts when changing EQ setting; no auto reverse on tape.
The Bottom Line: Great system to enjoy excellent sound reproduction and average tape recording needs for someone not wanting latest technology such as optical outputs or recording to CD.

| joewill's Full Review: Aiwa NSX-AJ310 Shelf System |
This system provides great sound in a compact and good looking package. It has more features than I've seen on any other systems near the price. In addition to the radio presets, random/repeat and programmable cd play, auto tape dubbing, edited cd recording to tape and headphone jack, all of which I expected, it includes a timer to turn it on, turn it off or record from radio or aux to tape at a specified time.
The sound is as good as my previous component system (fire damage sent me looking for a replacement) consisting of individual tuner/amp, tape deck and speakers totaling almost 3 times the cost of this system.
I do miss the infinitely variable bass and treble controls on my old amp; these preset choices on mini shelf systems never seem quite right.
The remote is not quite full function; the BBE treble enhancement is not available on the remote and recording cannot be started from the remote (but can be paused and stopped). That doesn't bother me. However I am bothered by the fraction of a second interruption of sound when the equalization is changed. I have checked other brands in this price range after buying this one and didn't find another which did this. I can live with this shortcoming because of the system's many good points and I don't expect to use the feature much.
After several days of considering if and where to buy this system, I unexpectedly walked into a customer appreciation sale at Sears where the system was well below their regular $150, but even at the higher price it would be a good value.
