It dosent say anything about having DTS but all the other specs look good. But anybody looking for a bargain DD receiver this may be what you're looking for.
I didn't even know Aiwa made receivers I know their portables are top rated though.

Didn't listen to the Aiwa model you're considering but I just picked up an Onkyo 484 off ubid for $129 & am REALLY pleased with it. Has DD & dts decoders and is outstanding for home video. Drives my 4 ohm Polk Monitor 5s no problem
It's rated @ 55 watts per channel but sounds as loud as some 75 watt receiver I demoed. Audio imaging is outstanding! Compares favorably with the Denon 1601. It's drawbacks are no s-video I/O or loundness switching, and a Onkyo only remote. But hey for $129 I can live with it's minor shortcomings. All I can say is great sound for the money! I would definitely consider Onkyo if I ever go high-end.
BOL

Ya know a little over 2 years ago I didn't think multi channel receivers would ever drop below $200 other than the blow out Pro Logic models that were still left laying around.
Its good to see that there are a number of DD and DTS modles below $200 now.

DPSinPA, I posted in another thread you replied to, but you probably want to stay away from posting advertisements for your v-store or any v-store for that matter.
