I have aquired a Luxman TP117 and I can not

I too have a TP-117 and I'm quite pleased with it. I would look into buying an old radio shack remote with the radioshack 166 code programed into it for luxman tuner/recievers, they should all work with it. Go to their website and search support for remotes and then access the manuals and look for that code. I don't think any of the new 4 digit ones will work but you can get most of the old units on Ebay sooner or later. Why do you believe that the TP-117 has the T-117 tuner in it, are you sure? My TP-117 tuner is great but the manual doesn't mention that relationship.

I have one without a remote, which turns on and all, so I'm wondering if I can get it to work.

I, to, have heard that the TP-117 has the T-117 tuner in it. I wouldn't doubt that it does as it cost $1200 new and the tuner was $600. The R-117 receiver was only $1000. Based on pricing I would think the TP-117 has the T-117 tuner in it. I have the T-117 and once I receive the TP-117 I just purchased I will do some A/B listening. Hopefully, my ear will be able to tell if there are any differences. This should be an extremely easy A/B to do. Will simply get to switch back and forth between the TP-117 tuner and T-117 and see if there are any noticeable sonic differences.

HI,Gpdavis1
how about your result

I have a TP-117 and two working remotes. What I don't
have are the RC-501 sensors that let the remotes talk to
the "system 2" preamplifier. Any ideas?
