Direct replacement remote
This universal remote is a direct replacement for the Cambridge Audio RC-851A and RC-851C models. It replicates every button and function of the original handset. The unit arrives pre-programmed and ready to use immediately after inserting batteries. It is designed for owners of the 851A or 851C Azur components.
Upgrade from a lost original
This remote replaces a lost or damaged factory handset without requiring any setup or code entry. The jump is worth it when the original remote is unavailable or no longer responds reliably. It supports a single device, matching the original one-to-one control scheme. No multi-device programming is needed or possible.
Consistent infrared control
The handset uses infrared wireless technology powered by AAA batteries for sustained operation. Performance remains steady during extended listening sessions without the latency or pairing issues of radio-based alternatives. Line-of-sight reliability is maintained across the typical listening room. Battery changes are infrequent and straightforward.
