Nice sound, heavy bass, cool lights.

Weak Treble, CD player.

The CD player was broken when I got this system but after about 40 minutes of tinkering with the potentionmeter it works fine now. I wish they made them a bit higher quality.

Awesome system. Treble is lacking but is suitable. CD player is very defective but with tinkering works.

CD Player made cool sounds when sledhammered.

Plastic went everywhere after sledhammering.

Expensive CD player minimum requirement: PLAY A CD

None so far... but I expect that, after reading this forum, the CD may disintegrate in a couple of years.

The CD player was shot when I bought it... paid $140 to have it fixed. Works fine. The problem is the laser reader. It's worth fixing with a Sony part.

None

Well, a CD player is supposed to play CD's. This one doesn't. I've been jipped!

I bought this system when it first came out as an upgrade from another AIWA product I had. Maybe I should have kept the first one. My CD player stopped working after a year. I jsut thought it was certain CD's but it turns out now that none work and it's been 6 years since. I thought it was just me but it sounds like everyone else has the same problem.

Great sound if you have a source to play it from

poor design and build quality

When i was about 10 i saved up enough money to buy what i thought was the greatest stereo ever. I still think it sounds great but it doesn't do much good without a cd player. As i've read, the cd player seems to be going out on them all. Mine quit after about a year. I thought i broke it so i never told my parents till, well-after the warrantry expired. At first it wouldn't play certain cds but as time went on it wouldn't work all together. Right now it wont even turn the disc on full spin! I feel disapointed and feel that a recall should have taken place. I do believe it is defective and i would never in my life buy another aiwa product again! Don't buy aiwa.

i had the same problem with the cd player....it keeps skipping even after i paid almost $100 for it to be fixed. other than that it sounds great

Sound

Apparent shoddy design of CD player

I bought the Aiwa NSX V3000 on the recommendation of the Best Buy clerk and after reviewing available literature. I was very pleased with the sound and over all very happy with the system for about 2 years. Then the CD play started to die. After it's death, I replaced the laser. Here I am almost 2 years later to the day and once again the CD player has died! ARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHH. The frustrating thing is that the last repair was in the $125 range and now I am left debating whether or not to spend another $125 to buy myself 2 more years or to just break down and put the money into a new system. I have several other Aiwa products in house and they are fine. I will be very hesitant though to purchase one of their products in the future. If you are considering this product....RUN AWAY!

Great sound levels! Good for loud parties as well as casual listening!

No separate control on Bass and trebele except preset equilaziers. CD Player craps out by scanning for ever.. I just got it fixed, and costed me a lot of $$$ - almost the cost of my player!!!*#@#!~

Great Stereo when compared in its class!! Absolutely great! Has been the center and life of some crazy wild ass parties!! Of course the CD player crapped out after few years.. I now I had to pay for it..

3 preset eq levels, no bass or trebal controls, cd player!!!

i have had this system for atleast 3 or 4 years. it worked very well for maybe 1 year. then as all the other people the cd player started to go. that didtn bother me at 1st cause i had more tapes then cd''s but now it sucks and i think its about time to get a new one, even though everything else on this system works and sounds like new.

Crisp sound, good button layout

CD Player is dying.

I have had 2 Aiwa products and after experiencing problems with both of them, I will never buy from them again!
Before my Aiwa CD Player I had a Sony CD Player (for those of you who do not know, Aiwa and Sony are affiliated with one another!). My CD Player on my mini system takes FOREVER to read a CD (and that is only if it DOES read it),
I had no problems until this year (about 4 years after I got it). In the future I hope to buy a stereo that last more than 4 years especially when the system costs 200+!
