Wireless Remote Adapter for Revox C274 and C278 (parallel) R-R Tape Decks
I do not sell this one on eBay yet. Buy direct for $70 + shipping of $10 within the US or $25 outside the US.
Contact me at scott@revoxremotes.com
This wireless remote adapter plugs into the Parallel Remote connector on the deck and controls the standard 5 transport functions: Play, Stop, F.F., Rewind and Record. All functions can be controlled using any universal remote programmed for the proper Sony VCR code.
The remote adapter can be programmed to respond to Sony VHS VCR, Beta VCR, 8mm VCR and Laser Disc Player codes. To select between the four options there are two jumpers inside the unit. Remove the two screws on the bottom of the unit and remove the top cover.
Toward the front window are two jumpers labeled 1 and 2. They configure the remote device code per the table below.

Configuring the RCA Universal Remote
To program the RCA remote press and hold the Code Search button until the red light comes on. Release the Code Search button and momentarily press the VCR button then enter the 3 digit code from the table above (default is 119). The red light should blink after each keypress and go out after the last digit is entered. Press the VCR button and press one of the transport control buttons (PLAY, STOP, FF, REW or REC). The light on the front of the remote adapter should blink off momentarily. If the light does not blink off try reprogramming the remote or check the state of the jumpers inside the remote adapter. On the RCA remotes the REC button needs to be pressed twice to activate record.
Configuring the DirecTV Remote:
To program the remote first slide the switch at the top to AV1 or AV2. Press and hold the MUTE and SELECT buttons until the green light at the top blinks twice then release. Using the number keypad enter the 5 digit device code from the table above. If done correctly the green light will blink twice after the last digit is entered. The full manual for the DirecTV can be found here
