Need help with remote control
« on: 29 Aug 2014, 01:46 pm »
I wasn't sure where to post this query so the Moderator can move as appropriate. I have an Arcam FMJ CD37 CD player. The Open/Close button died on the remote control (Arcam CR90). The CR90 is no longer available and the replacement (Arcam CR402) is nearly $150 plus shipping. The owner's manual provides the IR Command Decimals for aftermarket remote controls. I'm seeking recommendations on a good quality programmable remote control. Or better yet, if anyone knows where I could get a good used Arcam remote, that would be helpful.

Take it apart and see if the button contacts are dirty.  :dunno:

The remote seems to be sealed and I see no way of getting into it without potentially destroying it. The other buttons work fine. I'd just rather have a fully functioning remote.
