This unit was not released by Aiwa as of this review.

As there is no option for "No Rating", the stars assigned to this device are to be disregarded. I tried to track it down for a 2001 Christmas present for my daughter, but after trying several different chains, the Aiwa Customer Service line told me they never released it due to problems with the MP3 system. I''m only posting this to save others from the legwork of trying to locate one.
