Sanyo DS31590 31" TV Can I get the tv to go into tv/video mode without a remote but from the tv menu directly?

Reset Sanyo Tv without remote
Keep pressing the {MUTE} button until the TV powers on with the Service Menu displayed. Use the {CH+} {CH-} buttons to select menus. Use the {VOL+} {VOL -} buttons to change settings. Some menus might have sub-addresses.

The tv universal remotes are having very limited options in functions and tv universal remotes are only work correctly are like buttons power on/off volume up/down and channels up/down.Menu button and a Video setting option modes functions setting are another story all together.These two functions Menu button and Video setting modes funtions will not work correctly in any tv universal remotes.Because these Menu and Video setting modes are belong into the internal setting of the tv itself.It will only work correctly with the tv original remote only.Try website like Remotes.com to buy the tv original remote to use.

The best thing to do of course is to get a remote. If you are in video mode and I take it that is where you are playing video xbox, check the front of the set for a VIDEO button or a MODE button. You may not be able to do much without the remote.

you should have an input button. if so press the button until you get to the input that your dvr/vcr player is on. if you do not have a input button got to the menu button and you should be able to change the input thru the menu.

Go push menu button on the front of tv or the right side.Pick the video out,or tv.Or buy a remote.Website 1-800-Remotes factory Original.For the original remote.

Go to the store and get you new batteries you cheap bastard.  Access the menu functions by pressing the buttons directly on the TV.  Go to the store and get you a cheap RCA or GE universal remote for $10 and put in the codes they give you to program the remote to your brand of TV.

no you require the remote or a universal remote or sometimes a cable remote that has been programmed to work the volume on the tv set will have an input button .

Yippie, I figured out a solution that worked!!! I have a univeral remote from comcast, on that remote near the bottom left is a small button that says (input) tv/vcr, press that one time and whala!! the tv video screen was gone, I had to manually change the channel from the tv channel button on the unit. once I changed the channel to 3, my universal remote worked... the button is the second one from the bottom left... I was on hold with sanyo for a long time and just kept trying on my own, so good luck!!!!

ok...got this nice sanyo ds19310 from brother without remote..have a magnavox universal remote but don't have code for tv or if i can use magnavox codes or can i set remote to it another way...thanks for any help i can get! megnavox tv code is Press following key combination 0>6>2>5>9>6>MENU to select item press cursor(up)and (down) to change item value press cursor(right)and (left) cancellation of service mode press POWER button on the set regards thanks

The only way your going to change the video mode is with the original remote. If you need another remote go to http://remotes.com or call 1800 remotes Theres a button on the upper left hand side of the remote called video mode. A universal most of the time will not work this function. You could ask around to your friends and buddies or relitives if anyone has a working Sanyo remote or go to a local retailer that sells Sanyo and see if he would let you borrow one for a little while so you can switch out of the video mode. Good Luck
