Default Magnavox CCR190AT03 - Accessing Menu without the remote

The OEM remote for this model is NoLongerAvailable per Magnavox. However,
the set was actually made for Magnavox by Funai. Funai also made sets for
Sears, Sylvania, Hitachi and others, so it may be possible to find a remote
that will work. A check at Sears web site using model #CCR190AT gives remote
P/N 483521837121(NLA) but subs to 483521931133 @ $45.00 plus tax, shipping
and handling.
If you know a Philips/Magnavox distributor, you may be able to get this
remote somewhat cheaper. Magnavox has over 100 on hand.

Hope this helps.

I'm trying to assist a friend with an old Magnavox CCR190AT03 TV/VCR
combo. Can't receive TV channels (all channels just display blue
background), but can play VCR tapes.

My inclination would be to go into the menu functions to verify the air
vs.cable setting, re-autoprogram the channels, etc.; however the
original remote control has been lost so I can't use it to access the
menu functions. A generic universal remote works for the on/off and
channel control, but its "menu" key doesn't seem to bring up the menu on
this set. Based on a recommendation from Magnavox' customer support, I
tried accessing the menu by pressing both the channel up/down keys
concurrently and then tried again by pressing the volume up/down keys
concurrently, but those combinations didn't work either.

Is there something else I can try, short of purchasing a new OEM remote,
to get into the TV's menu functions? I don't think I need the service
menu, just the normal consumer operation menu.

Thanks, in advance, for any suggestions.
