Replying to my own post.
I've now found the manual for the TV but the remote control
illustrated
looks nothing like the one I've got. This one is a combined VCR/TV
controller. I'm assured that this is the original controller that
came
with
the TV/VCR package (it's the M-I-L's TV). I've tried just about
every
conceivable combination of buttons.
Any other ideas?

Doesn't the remote have a "menu" or "set up" button on it ?


Yes, but only enables the VCR setup menu.

And there isn't a button that transfers the remote between VCR and TV ?
It
might be a small button on the side of the remote.


Yes, there is a button that switches the remote between VCR and TV but no
matter what I do I can't seem to get a menu screen in TV mode, although I
can get one on VCR mode when the VCR is connected to the TV.
