How does one change the video inputs without the remote control?

Can't seem to figure out how to change the video inputs on this thing without the remote control???? I've been through the menu 100 times using the buttons on the front of the tv but can't seem to change the inputs!!!! It sure be nice to watch a DVD some day again... Any insight would be appreciated... :-0

    I purchased a Sylvania television at a yard sale but it had no remote. I am unable to change the inputs as there is no option in the menus to do so. Several Universal remotes were tried with no luck. (Perhaps the receiver is bad as I can't imagine why a "universal" wouldn't work on a major brand like Sylvania.) Changing the channel to below 2 does not roll through the front or rear AV inputs. Autoprogramming even with a signal coming from a DVD player into the A/V jacks doesn't detect the A/V channel. About the only thing left to try is an adapter to the coax jack that can be set for channel 2 or 3 if such a thing even exists anymore. Pity; it has a great picture and doesn't appear to be very old! Looks like no video games or DVD's on this one! (I guess Al Bundy was right, "Yard sales are where idiots sell junk to bigger idiots.")

If you have lost the remote, go to any electronics store and buy a universal one. I have programmed many generic remote controls, and they all work fine for adjusting the video inputs. Not all television sets allow their video inputs to be switched without the remote. Most likely you will have to buy a replacement.

Change input on Hitachi LCD TV model LE65K6R9 without remote?

I'd unplug/disconnect the Roku and after 30 seconds try the control button on the back. If you can change the input do so, then plug the Roku back in. Until you use the input button on the back to change input to Roku, you should be able to use the other buttons on the back to control the TV. If this does not work, unplug both the TV and the Roku. Wait maybe a minute, then plug the TV back in and follow the above instructions. Here are other alternatives: Using physical buttons: You can find the physical buttons on the left or right back side of the Hitachi TV. Using these keys, you can change the input, adjust the volume, or turn on Hitachi TV without a remote. Press the Input button located at the back or side of the Hitachi TV. The list of connected sources will appear on the TV screen12.

Using external devices: Connect a wireless keyboard or mouse to your Hitachi TV and change the input1.

Buy a universal remote: You can buy a universal remote to control your Hitachi TV and change the source.

How do I change inputs?

A better remote control is a Logitech Harmony remote. It will work every other component in your audio/video system and will never become obsolete. It programs from their website, so if you ever get a new TV or change brands of audio components, you simply revisit their website to program in the changes.

I cant figure out how to change the channel to input/video on my broadband tv without a remote

This problem may be more complex than just the selection of a channel to receive video. The first problem is what channel to receive the video. Usually its received on channel 3 or 4. You select that on the video output and match it on the TV. That assumes your recorder is attached via the RF (antenna) connection. If its hooked up via the component connect then you must have a remote to select IN1 or IN2 on the TV to receive video. Remote controls are available on line. Do a search on your TV model and remote control.

My Sony tv turn on but the only thing showing is Video 4 , I don't have a remote, I tried tv and video no nothing.

If it shows 'Video-4' you have to input video signals to its video-4 input terminal. No other terminal will receive any signal. To say more, you can't select its other inputs/TV, without its remote control. No universal remote control will go. Try to get its original number remote control. Contact the authorized service center for Sony to buy a genuine one.
