McCormack TLC-1 Deluxe Remote


Have the remote version of the TLC-1 Deluxe but no remote. Anyone used a universal remote for one of these and know which codes to use?

I tried e-mailing and calling www.mccormackaudio.com a few times (since I heard they may have some left for sale) but no one ever gets back to me.

Have you had any luck with getting the remote code for your TLC-1 Deluxe? I was dusting around my equipment today and took a close look at the face of TLC-1 Deluxe I have and I saw a black dot next to the green power light. Does this mean the volume control of my TLC-1 Deluxe is capable of being controlled via a remote? If I open up the TLC-1 Deluxe and check out the inside of it could I tell if it is remote capable?

I asked the previous owner and he didn't know the TLC-1 Deluxe could be controlled via remote and didn't recall if he ever had a remote for it.

Thanks in advance.
A relatively small number of remote-controlled TLC-1s were built late in its production life (around the mid-'90s). I am not sure what the numbers actually were, but no more than a few hundred were built. On the other hand, when the decision was made to offer the remote version, all of the chassis were then built with a hole to accommodate the IR receiver. This hole is adjacent to the power LED and is filled with a small hole-cover in the non-remote version.

The remote controlled only volume and mute, and I think the remote wand had only 3 buttons. The TLC-1 design pre-dates the move to Virginia, and the remote codes are not related to the later McCormack or C-J gear. I have no idea what the codes were, and I think the only way you are going to find out is to buy a remote from McCormack Audio of VA - assuming they still have any on hand (kind of unlikely at this late date).

I suggest you call McCormack Audio at 703-573-9665 if you are interested in getting a remote wand.

Good luck!

FWIW, when I bought my new TLC-1 way back when, I was told that the cost for the unit with the optional remote was an additional $500. So, $995 + $500 = $1,495. I bought the unit without the remote.
Thank you Mr. Mccormack and Dne for taking the time out to reply. I took a closer look at the TLC-1 Deluxe and it does look like there is just a small-hole w/ a black cover next to the power indicator light. I'll contact McCormack Audio and see if they have a remote and if it isn't too costly.

I can't believe the remote option cost $500 to have it put into the TLC-1 Deluxe. For that kind of cash I would have left it without the remote and put the money towards another McCormack product.

Take care and Thanks again.
