I have a new-to-me 20" Sony color tv from 1989. Is there a way to
preset what channels the channel-up and -down buttons should stop at?

A friend gave this to me and he couldn't find the remote control so I
bought a Sony remote with univeral control for other devices. He
couldn't find the manual either, nor could I for the KV-20TX11

If I use the channel-up button on the tv or the remote, it just adds 1
to the channel number. To go from 13 to 54, I have to press the
button 41 times, or if I can find the remote, press 5, 4, enter.

There is no Scan button that I can find on the tv, and the remote is
not the exact remote for this tv. It was made much later, I think.
(Didn't have it with me but it looked like the Sony remote that Radio
Shack sells now.)

When I press Menu on the remote, the only item that comes up is
"Picture". This corresponds to the controls on the TV. When I open
the door on the tv, there are old-fashioned knobs, pots, for color,
tint, brightness, sharpness, auto-stereo, and cable/no-cable. Only
Picture has up and down buttons!


ALSO but much less important, there are led's on the set for sleep and
timer. With the new remote, I can set it to turn off in an hour
(Sleep), great.

I am thinking Timer would allow me to have it turn on in the morning.
Is that right? But there is no button for that on the new remote.
