Audio Research CD Remote Control

If you get a Harmony 650 your problem will be solved.

Cleeds,

Thank you. That's the universal remote that I have.

But don't I still need a remote control that sends RC5
infra-red signals that the 850 can then 'learn' from?

If you have a Harmony 650, you can get the codes online. Sorry, I'm not familiar with the 850.

Cleeds,

Typo... I meant to say 650.

I'll check online, thanks

The Logitec/Harmony Website says the Audio Research CD3 is compatible with the Harmony 650. That means it is in the database and your Haromony 650 can be set up to work with the CD3.

Thanks to Cleeds & Reubent

I'm glad I asked here on Audiogon.

I'm reluctant some times to post a
specific question because on other
sites I get mostly speculation and
little or no real experience with my
specific question or situation.

Thanks again

Glad to help. Let us know when you have the Harmony configured and working. I haven't used a Harmony in many years. But when I did use one 10 years ago, I really liked it.

ARC now stocks replacement remotes that were previously NLA.  I just bought one from them for $75 to replace the dead remote for my LS25II.  It is a little larger and the buttons are laid out a bit differently, but it works just fine.  I was also able to program my Harmony 665 universal remote by downloading the RC5 codes directly through the Logitech software to control the LS25II.  But the user interface for the Harmony is a little awkward and not all preamp functions are enabled (power, volume, input, balance, all work fine).  So, I picked up the ARC replacement.
