Unfortunately, the buttons on the TV only control basic operations of the DVD player. You'll need a replacement or universal remote that matches the features of the original DC-FN20S remote. Amazon has a Redi-remote that matches the original here: https://www.amazon.com/TOSHIBA-Replacement-Control-MD14FP1-DCFN20S/dp/B009H5Q5NU .
I wish that I had better news for you.

That buzz sound most probably are from axed horizontal output transistor. If your tv is a CRT type. Some other reason for that are faulty regulator, and diode on flyback side, or the expensive one is the flyback itself.
If age is the reason transistor can be replaced as soon maybe thirty minutes. Please get a quote and estimate first to calculate if new tv is more ideal than having it repaired.
PROBABLY THE NOISE YOU ARE HEARING IS LIKE YOU SAID A BURNT FUSE OR THE RESISTANCE OF THE T.V. AND USUALLY REPAIR FOR THIS ITEM WILL COST YOU MORE THAT REPLACING THE TELEVISION SPECIALLY WITH A DVD INTEGRATED, BECAUSE THEY ARE WIRED TOGETHER. GOOD LUCK.
YOU WILL ONLY NEED A CONVERTER BOX IF YOU DO NOT SUBSCRIBE TO CABLE OR SATELLITE SERVICE AND RECEIVE YOU CHANNELS THRU A REGULAR ANTENA. YOU WILL NEED THIS BY 02/2009. HAVE A NICE DAY.
It seems you need to buy a new remote ,here is all the inf.you need.http://www.remotes.com/remotes/servlet/rs?uid=A1158853432594&o=c&a=Search&o=c&m=md13p1
First thing I would try is taking the set to a different location where you have cable and see if it works,if it does not make sure the conector in the back is not loose,make sure the cable you have selected is the standar cable and not another kind like HRC or other and last the set might have a tuner problem and for that you will need assistance from a servicer.
This is a known issue with this TV. The following might resolve it:
Check Mute and Volume:
Ensure that the TV is not muted and that the volume is set appropriately. Sometimes accidental button presses can lead to muted sound or low volume.
Inspect External Speakers:
If you're using external speakers, verify their connections. Loose cables or faulty speakers can cause sound issues.
Test Different Inputs:
Connect a non-HDMI device (such as a DVD player) to the TV. Observe if the sound distortion occurs. If it doesn't, the problem might be related to the HDMI signal from your Virgin box.
HDMI Troubleshooting:
If the issue persists with the DVD player over HDMI, consider the following:
HDMI Cable: Check the HDMI cable for damage or loose connections.
Virgin Signal: Contact Virgin to inspect the signal/lines and replace the box if necessary.
Mainboard Replacement (if needed):
If the sound distortion persists, it could be due to a faulty sound processor chip on the TV's mainboard. In this case, consider replacing the mainboard.

There may be loose contact or track open in main board.So try to check the main board thoroughly where you may find the loose of connection or track open.
Locate the Battery Cover: Look for the battery cover on the back of the remote control. It is usually a small compartment that can be easily opened.
Remove the Battery Cover: Depending on the design, there may be a latch, screw, or sliding mechanism to secure the battery cover. Use your fingers or a small screwdriver to open the compartment.
Remove Old Batteries: Take out the old batteries from the battery compartment. Pay attention to the orientation of the batteries, so you know how to insert the new ones correctly.
Check Battery Polarity: Take note of the positive (+) and negative (-) signs inside the battery compartment. Make sure to insert the new batteries with the correct polarity to match these markings.
Insert New Batteries: Place the new batteries into the battery compartment, ensuring they are properly aligned with the correct polarity. Press them down gently to make sure they are secure.
Replace Battery Cover: After inserting the new batteries, close the battery compartment cover securely. If it has a latch or screw, make sure it is fastened properly.
Test the Remote: Point the remote at the device it controls (such as a Toshiba TV) and test whether it responds to your commands. If the remote is working correctly, you have successfully replaced the batteries.
Dispose of Old Batteries: If the old batteries are no longer usable, make sure to dispose of them properly. Many communities have designated recycling locations for batteries.

They are purely a numerical identifier of when it was made, year, day, number on the shift, whether it Joe or Billy who did final inspection.
With a MODEL number I can find them easily with just 'make model manual'.
