Would there be reason to think earlier remotes from Cambridge would not work? Eg https://www.ebay.com/itm/CAMBRIDGE-AUDIO-CD-32-34-Original-Remote-Control-GENUINE-FREE-UK-DELIVERY-/...
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.

As some mentioned, the CXC remote is ungainly, crammed with buttons for other products I don’t intend to purchase.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 https://www.ebay.com/itm/Rotel-RR-1050-Learning-LCD-Remote-Control-W-Original-Box/114088790789?hash=item1a9038cb05:g:1X4AAOSwkUxeMGlX But there are 1600 others to choose from https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_trksid=p2334524.m570.l1313.TR8.TRC1.A0.H0.X+learning+remote.TRS0&_nkw=+learning+remote&_sacat=0&LH_TitleDesc=0&_osacat=0&_odkw=simple+learning+remote Cheers George |
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: https://techsupport.cambridgeaudio.com/hc/en-us/articles/202591991-CXC-IR-Codes ” |
I recently reprogrammed my Logitech Harmony One Remote for some of my devices including the CXC. I just put in the Cambridge cxc model name and it found it automatically from the Logitech database. To my surprise the Logitech remote not only works well with all the functions of the cxc original remote but also works on the track numbers! Now I can go to any specific track by pressing the number button. |
