Remote Possibilities


I have a Musical Fidelity A-308 CD player purchased on Agon with no remote. There is a remote on e-bay for a Musical Fidelity A-5 integrated amp that is IR-based a la the CD player's remote. What are the odds that the A-5 remote will operate my A-308 CD player?

What are the odds ... probably zero.  

The 308 was manufactured in the UK some 13 or so years ago.  The A-5 was the first generation of the Taiwan manufactured MF components.

Why not contact the US MF representative or MF directly?

If I could not locate a 308 remote, I would look for a remote for the MF CD PRE 24. a preamp/ CD combo from that time.

Any chance you have a photo of the 308 remote?  I have a CD PRE 24, I can tell you if they look similar.

Here is a link to an image of the remote for the 308.  It would seem that MF made one remote for the 308 amp, cd player, & tuner.

If you look at the next image there is a picture of a Logitech remote (Harmony 200), which was a popular learning universal remote at the time.  You would enter the appropriate code and the remote would learn the codes.  If this is the case, you may have better luck tracking down the Logitech,

Thanks rar1.....I had e-mailed djacques, but haven't heard back yet. The Harmony 200 could be a solution, but I thought you had to have the original remote for it to learn the code. If it can be entered directly, that would be the best solution for me.
