Nakamichi AV-2
Little is documented about the Nakamichi AV-2. The record shows it was an A/V surround receiver, a category the company worked in alongside its cassette deck line. The owner's manual confirms it did A/V receiver duties with an AM/FM tuner, input selector, surround modes, and a remote control.
Surviving information on this model is thin. No production years, original retail price, or detailed specifications (power output, THD, frequency response) have surfaced in the available research. The manual's operating sections cover controls, connections, and basic operation, but no numeric specs were extracted from its pages. Even the product's exact position in Nakamichi's lineup remains unclear.
What is known comes largely from the used market. One eBay listing offered a working AV-2 at $285. Another sold one "as is" for parts/repair at $99, which suggests some units have developed issues over time. The specific failure modes aren't documented.
If you own an AV-2 with a manual or service documentation, the archive would welcome the contribution. Almost any additional detail would fill a gap here.
