Cring08 149 Posted April 28, 2023 Share Posted April 28, 2023 Hey guys! I am not on here a lot, but was a member of the old CarverAudio.com. I have a Sunfire Ultimate Receiver and TGR-3 I just picked up. Does anyone know where I could buy remotes for these? Also, I want to keep one and sell one if anyone is interested? I also picked up some other gear if anyone is looking: Mirage FRX-5 Speakers Niles Amp SI-230 Niles Amp SI-245 Niles Amp SI-275 Niles ZR 4630 Adcom Preamp GTP-500 Adcom Preamp GTP-600 Adcom GFA-545 Amp Monster HTS 1600 Power Cond Spectrum Acoustics 210R EQ Panamax MX5102 Power cond Panamax MAX 5300 Mirage Omni S10 Sub Polk Audio Sub Klipsch Sub Yamaha sub Acesonix DGX-109 Karaoke Denon AVR 531 Numark EQ Yamaha RX-A2000 Receiver Key Digital KD-MXA8X8Pro I am going to try to be more active on here and get some advice on my current and new setups.

Community Admin AndrewJohn 8,142 Posted April 28, 2023 Community Admin Share Posted April 28, 2023 Welcome back, Chris. Did you look on Ebay for the Sunfire remote? There are three listings today - not sure if these are the right ones - but the search was for "Sunfire Remote" so you should be able to find them quickly. I think outside of an aftermarket or Ebay, a remote for a sunfire is going to be unobtainium. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cring08 149 Posted April 28, 2023 Author Share Posted April 28, 2023 Thanks AndrewJohn, I did see these, but was unsure if they would work. I may have to roll the dice on one and/or go aftermarket. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Sunfire remotes are pretty much the same TG-II through TG-5 which include the first 3 receivers I believe the IV & 5 have a couple pro logic buttons that the earlier ones don't have but all basic functions and controls are the same. The very top one in the picture above is the correct remote and will work on both units, once you have a working remote you can buy a universal and clone / copy it pretty easily. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chris A guy turned me on to the Hospital grade cords awhile back as a cheap alternative to the fancy cables, the plugs are tight fitting and seem to be good quality. Other generic cords can be found online for about what it costs to ship them. Factory Sunfire cords are a 14ga 2-prong but a 3-prong works just fine. https://www.ebay.com/itm/325455731917?hash=item4bc6ac5ccd:g:~JIAAOSwRJJjknKo&amdata=enc%3AAQAIAAAA0DLe4ohlMddNeiZ%2FYNiH7%2FOwT8QP2sz5FcS%2FQ0i5l%2FyidllsHGKm8bY8X9uzF8K3nnctt6GWsk%2FsdrNKyHJAv%2Bw6OeNfIf0%2BzyLxfBOYoqnCRTQVu00WWANpoY6aDwjF7bp6jfMiDbsECGVF3ut%2FYzBLRlloGnHdCAA8yykzAyW%2FTO7WGfAEs29fvHSWZBHweEoDnhI2plAnkH68Q%2Fr2r652wLeMISnKJftpyMcLc0UNF1t9gtPmThCLaUzy0X%2FBf70qFytYzk%2Fj%2BDqI9hC%2BKq0%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5zJ0M_5YQ 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cring08 149 Posted April 29, 2023 Author Share Posted April 29, 2023 I would love comments on which one of these to keep? They initially appear similar. Any thoughts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Receivers? I personally prefer the original still have a couple in use. The TGR-3 was built in China after Bob Carver sold the company to Elan. I found the newer models to be a bit more black or neutral sounding where the older units seem to have a touch more flavor not by a lot but noticeable. All in all they are very similar and both decent units. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maddmaster 957 Posted April 29, 2023 Share Posted April 29, 2023 B&K used that same remote for the Reference 50 Pre/Processor but was programmed with their codes. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobTFM35 1,621 Posted May 3, 2023 Share Posted May 3, 2023 Did you download the manual for the Sunfire Ultimate Receiver from the Manuals and Spec sheet page? It shows a the remote that comes with the unit and it looks like the one Rob shows above. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's the remote model I had with my Ultimate Receiver. Beware they eat AAA batteries like a fat kid at the dessert bar. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
