How do I access the menu without a remote?

There are actually two adjustment access holes (focus and contrast) on the back of that model. Here is a makeshift map...

On the back of the set mentally divide it to a left and right half. About the middle of the right half and around 4 or 5 inches up from the bench there will be two 1/8" holes. one on top of the other and about 2" apart. Slip a "pocket" sized flat head screwdriver into the lower hole and feel for the blade to enter the slot and gently turn either direction to adjust the contrast to your liking. The other hole above the "contrast" hole is for "focus" and really should be left alone.

The entire back cover can be removed by taking the four screws out of the corners and slipping it off. Then you can actually see the adjustment controls if you find getting that little screwdriver into the hole would be easier with it's clothes off...

Buy the Sony rm-v210 universal it will access the menu guaranteed

CRT-(Tube tv).Dosen't support HDMI cables.S-Video cable.Only on some a 27' and above.Mostly are R,Y,W RCA component cable support work best for the standard below 27" (CRT-tube-tv).

I looked at the same chassis I have and the resistor has color bands green blue silver gold wich is a .56 ohm 5% 1/2 watt resistor

On the front of the TV you should be able to press both channel up and down at the same time and it will give you access to the TV menu. Once in the menu use the channel and volume up and down buttons to navigate.

Good luck....

several answers:
1get the original remote control
2get a universal remote control and maybe you can get menu from there.
3get menu on front panel of the tv and search for the option.
4send the tv to autoprogram. Good luck!

A Phillips universal remote will work. Just program it for the TV Model. These are about $15 at Radio Shack.

1) Solder any / all bad connections

2)troubleshoot,locate and replace any bad parts in pincushion

3)No problem found ?.........could be bad yoke.................T.

its very easy on the t.v and press on channel up or down on your tv. u will get the screen

to enter the service mode . while pressing the vol-up and ch-up buttons at once, plug the AC cord into the wall socket and switch on the main power . now the TV set is switched on and enters the service mode. to exit the service mode, shut the television off by pressing the power button.
