Parasound AVC-2500u THX Home Theater Processor

Complete with original box, remote, manual, calibration mic. Rarely used in perfect condition

The AVC-2500 Audio Video Controller is an elegant surround processor, dual-zone preamplifier, D to A converter, and tuner all wrapped up in one very neat, very convenient package. Everything about the AVC-2500u proclaims its preeminence in the world of home electronics. For starters, we teamed up with a group of remarkably gifted engineers. In fact, they're the same experts who Lucasfilm has hired to redesign and upgrade the electronics in THX theaters worldwide. We realize all that advanced technology is meaningful only when you can figure out how to use it. That's why our unique on-screen display gives you total access by balancing both breadth of control and ease of use. You can even customize each of the different sources, digital inputs, or even radio stations with names you make up yourself or select from its comprehensive library of names.
