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.

Questions about this item

What type of batteries does the Cambridge Audio 851A remote require?

It uses standard AAA batteries which are not included; simply insert them and the remote is ready to control your amplifier.

How do I set up this replacement remote for my Azur 851C?

No programming is needed; the unit arrives pre-loaded with the original RC-851A and RC-851C command sets so it works immediately after batteries are fitted.

How long should the batteries last before I need to replace them?

Typical alkaline AAA cells last around 12 months with normal daily use of the infrared handset.
