Today, Aiwa places even more importance on performance, quality and innovation, and invests an unusually high proportion of sales income to research & development. Recent examples are valuable features such as anti-shock personal CD players for sports and fitness enthusiasts and the award-winning anti-theft device integrated in many VCRs to reduce crime. They also created Japan's first cassette tape recorder, stereo cassette deck and digital audio tape (DAT) products.

Recordable personal minidisc player with a great backlit LCD in-line with ear style earphones with remote control. The great bit about having NetMD on this minidisc player is that it connects to your PC via USB port and the software & USB cable are included in the package. All this means that the player allows you to transfer music from your PC at high speeds to your Aiwa player. The Sonic Stage Software included is also very easy to use and transfer of music from your PC at rates of 32x. I mainly use it for when I go running and it seems great quality and for much less money than the Sony ones available.

I am a runner and needed a cd player that wouldn't skip like my personal tape player does. I knew I needed a CD player that not only has a high anti-shock, but was also very durable to take all the knocks while I run. I bought this Aiwa player at my local Dixons who recommended it because of it's excellent anti-shock device. When I jog, I only have to put it on 10 second EASS and it won't skip. and to save your money on batteries, it also has rechargeable battery. I have also found that the battery will last a long time, so no need to keep recharging. Thi mcahine also comes with a car kit. So, if you don't have a CD player in your car this will be just fine. This CD player combines good looks, long playback, and exceptional sound quality and I recommend this player to anyone that jogs or needs a CD player in the car.

This micro hi fi is very good. The sound is superb and lots of impressive features like RDS for radio and playing mp3 with ID texts always accurate. I played a cd with 110 songs and it was quite quick to load...all depends the way you are recording your cd...so if you want to know more go to the american aiwa website and download the manual. Well worth the money and because it's not too expensive it shouldn't break the bank.

Aiwa of late don't seem to be releasing as many hifi stereos and the like as they used to be. They mainly stick to making hifi stereos, cd players, dvd players, mindisc players and audio equipment. he quality of these items are usually high and the cost usually below that of competitors such as Sony and Panasonic.
