Default How to get at "menu" on Sharp TV set without its remote?

I have a Sharp color TV model 13K m100 but no remote. "universal
remotes" won't get me into the menu. As I want to reprogram the channels
I get going up and down and to change it from cable to off air. Are
there any internal jumpers I can jump to access the menu? Or is there a
way to fake the proper remote say by using the RS232 port on my PC to
drive an IR LED and a program that causes it to produce the correct
on/off sequence of pulses to make the TV think it's seeing the proper
remote (looked all over the web but didn't find this)? Sure I can buy
the proper remote on ebay, but for $60?...
