I meant on the Luxman unit itself, but with remotes that old I suppose it could be either. A Harmony might do it if the problem is in the remote. You sure you're aiming it well at the receiver's sensor? I prefer having a remote myself.

Ten four....cleaned sensor window....tried many different angles & distances....it worked the first night ...then quit
Process of elimination....I kept my 1997 Teac ACG8520 / Costco unit....remote works awesome....but I must say...everything else about Lux works & sounds great!.....

Back in the 1970s 60 WPC was considered pretty powerful as I remember. Hell my 1st hi fi receiver in 1978 was a 25 WPC Nikko and I was in heaven with some small Marantz speakers.

Ten four....I'm 60 years young & don't have the room anymore for 120. WPC....still crank it up once in a while ..but mainly want good clean power 60- 80 WPC.....plenty

Had my remote tested & it's got a burned out sensor bulb & diode.....will be repaired & back in service soon.....

Hello.....just purchased a clean 1976- 1978 Pioneer SA. 8500 Amp & TX 720 tuner....I have them paired up with my 1994 Onkyo CD deck & 1990 Polk monitor 5 spea kers......sounds great.....powerful Amp / 60 watts per channel...

Where did you find that old gear? Was it refurbished? Antique gear can be fun, but the limits of gear like that can leave one frustrated.

Hi....I've had my Polk monitor 5 speakers for yea rs....upgraded tweeters....got my Pioneer Amp & tuner from a local audio shop here in Sacramento..last month......Onkyo 6 disc CD player with remote back in 2009 @ goodwill / $12.00....like new and just picked up a 1990 Luxman R117 reciever off E bay....excellent condition....$300.00.....which is a little louder & clearer than the Pioneer ...which maybe could use new caps...but still sounds great for 1976.....I used to have a clean pair of Klipsch KG4 / KG4.2 speakers, but had to down size.....killer speakers if you have the room
