Cambridge CXC: Help finding a small, programmable remote?


After much research and searching, I was pleased to purchase and receive the Cambridge CXC transport. As some mentioned, the CXC remote is ungainly, crammed with buttons for other products I don't intend to purchase.

Does anyone have a lead on a small, programmable remote — something the size of a Roku remote? This makes much more sense. Having input buttons for specific tracks would be nice, too. (Cannot *believe* they left those off. FFS.)

Hopefully any answers might also help folks with other products who, like me, hate their remote.

@ericsch - Yes, the Harmony database does have the CXC codes but when I downloaded them to one of my Harmony remotes some controls didn't work well so I went for a simple solution I could control manually and was familiar with. You probably could "teach" a Harmony remote in the same way I did the Sony but I was already familiar with the Sony so went with it.

And the buttons needed are all at the bottom, where one hand operation is awkward to hold and press.
Get a cheap ebay learning remote which has no buttons needed the bottom 1/3 of it.

This ones expensive

My only complaint about the remote is that, as George stated, the button are on the bottom. I can ignore the others.
Thanks. The fact that the CXC remote has no way to go directly to a track is such a boneheaded mistake by the designers, it defies comprehension. Here’s their response:

 “However, if you know of any universal remotes where you could program in IR codes, here's a link to the CXC's IR codes:
