Arcam DiVA AVP700 Processor

Arcam first started building amplifiers in the mid-seventies with the A60 as their first product. From that relatively simple design, which went on to sell over 30,000 units, they went on to incorporate more features and improvements to reach into the 21st century. The AVP700 processor we have here shows just how far they have come in bringing their philosophies into the home cinema market. It is in good fully working condition with a couple of light blemishes and comes with remote control, mains cable, plus our normal three month warranty.
Arcam Say….
The AVP700 is a home cinema processor built to Arcam’s quality design and manufacturing standards. It combines high resolution digital processing with high performance audio and video components to bring you an unrivalled home entertainment centre.
The AVP700 allows switching and volume control of seven analogue and six digital sources; additionally, it has a built-in radio tuner. Since many of these sources are capable of putting high quality video signals out, the AVP700 includes broadcast-quality video-switching for composite-, S-video-, component-, RGB- and HDMI-video signals. Inputs and outputs for both tape and VCR, as well as a digital output, are provided for your recording needs and DVD-Audio or SACD are catered for via the multi-channel input. As well as using either the front-panel buttons or the IR-remote, the AVP700 can be controlled via the RS232 port on the rear; the port can also be used to upload future software enhancements.
As well as providing the audio and video for the main listening area, the AVP700 allows the same, or a different, source to be routed to a second area (called ‘Zone 2’), such as the kitchen, bedroom, lounge, etc. Zone 2 can have full remote control over the source selection and volume in that area.
