Hello,
I own an Audio Innovations Alto System, but without the remote control. Due to the design of this system, it cannot be controlled without the remote.
I am using a Logitech Harmony universal remote. Despite the system is in the database, there are important "missing buttons" and it's not possible to control the tuner functions. Only the "BAND" button is offered by Logitech.
Using an Arduino and a IR transmitter board, I have found some additional RC5 codes and now it's possible to control the tuner:
SCAN UP - RC5 code 0x45E
SCAN DOWN - RC5 code 0x45F
STORE radio presets - RC5 0x459
The Logitech Harmony can learn these codes and add them to the remote. Maybe this information can be useful for another Audio Innovations users without a remote or with a dead remote.
I have not found the PROG button code for the CD Player. I looks the remote uses also NEC codes for CD player functions. My Arduino reports the system code 0x21B2 and different codes for the PLAY, PAUSE, etc. keys
Best regards

Halo, I just bought Audio Innovation amplifire/cd set but without the remote control. Does anyone have any idea what company cd player remote could work with Alto cd player? Amplifirer as far as I know is not operated with remote control. I will drop the picture of my set tomorrow.
Kind Regards

Alternative remote?
I've recently brought a Alto CD player but was missing a remote.
I then noticed an original remote for sale on eBay but by the time I confirmed the purchase it was sold. A lot of internet sleuthing has led me to this forum and the posts from the users above. I then found an NEC and a Pioneer remote that appear to be the same. (well the housing at least). I have bit the bullet and bought one of the NEC's and its currently in the post. ill report back here if it works. Pictures attached below of original and alternative.
If this works i think there's going to be a lot of happy people

Hi I have the same ALTO amplifier and no remote
Would you be able to provide the RC codes for Power on / off and volume up/down and source select Thanks !!!
Hi. Unfortunately I sold the set two years ago. I cannot help you. This button was by default on the Logitech Harmony Remote.Hi I have the same ALTO amplifier and no remote
Thanks !!!
Does the amp display a led light when it is plug or does it light up only when powered by the remote ?
