Here we have a superv sounding Arcam AVP 700 7.1 A/V Surround Processor Preamp w/Remote. This unit was acquired by us from the original owner, and is very clean, inside and out. The original protective film is still on the display screen. The Processor has been fully tested and is in perfect working order. The remote has been detailed, and there is no trace of corrosion in the battery compartment. There are a few light scuffs on the top of the cabinet, as well as on the left side of the cabinet.
Included with the unit is the Remote, power cord, and a printed copy of the owners manual.
Free shipping to the lower 48 in the United States is included in the purchase price. We take packing what we sell seriously, the Preamp will be packed with great care using plastic wrap, polystyrene and a heavy duty box.
