This is not an original Akai RC-31 or RC-91, but, a compatible unit that performs the same functions.

Add wireless remote capability to your Akai tape deck that says on the back that it needs the RC-31 or RC-91 remotes like the GX-F31, GX-F51, GX-F71 and GX-F91 cassette decks. I might have missed a few decks. Just look at the back of the deck and next to the remote connect if it says RC-31 or RC-91 then it's compatible.

Please be aware that I make each remote adapter custom when the order comes in. It could take up to about 10 business days before it ships.


In my other auctions I sell similar wireless remote adapters for Aiwa, Akai, Alesis, Ampex, Crown, Denon, Nakamichi, Otari, Revox, Sony, Studer, Tandberg, Tascam, Teac and Technics decks.

This unit works just like the original Akai RC-31 or RC-91 remotes. It plugs into the back of the tape decks and allows the transport functions (Play, Reverse Play, Stop, Fast Forward, Rewind, Record/Pause, Auto Mute and Auto Fader) to be controlled wirelessly from across the room. Comes with a universal remote, but, you can use any universal remote on the market. Just set it for one of the Sony VCR button codes.

Compatibility List:
Akai GX-F31, GX-F51, GX-F71 and GX-F91 Cassette Decks

This unit can be programmed, via a set of internal jumpers, to 1 of 4 remote codes (Sony VHS, Sony Beta, Sony 8mm and Sony Laser Disc Player). This allows multiple units to reside in the same room and be independently controlled.

  • Small size. Only 2.6" x 2.6" x 1.1"
  • Receive/Power LED is lit when the unit is getting power and it blinks off when a valid IR command is received
  • Four unique device code settings allow four tape decks to operate in the same room without interaction (requires setting internal jumpers)
  • Works with all universal remote (just set it for Sony 8mm, beta or VHS VCR or Sony Laser Disc player)

What's included in this auction:
You get the IR remote receiver (see compatibility list above), Universal remote with batteries preprogrammed to work with the remote receiver right out of the box.
