some of the universal remotes dont support all functions. you can try
getting a customizeable or learning remote from one for all, and then go
to their website www.ueic.com i think and they have a page for requesting
special device button codes by the tv model number and the code book will
tell you how to customise the buttons. as for the menu? i dont know why
you get a picture menu if this tv has pots for all of the picture
settings, if it has a pot for a control you wont be able to use the remote
to set that option. this may just be a fluke like a technics receiver in
which the universal remote will put it in video 2 mode but i have no video
2 inputs! the special codes will probably give you a way to preset channes
as in some sets there is a special button for add and remove channel. i
find that the list of special button codes is quite good, i have found
options before that even the original remotes never supported.
