Default Drunks and set-up menus

Drunken owner of DVD player managed to go into the set-up and change
language to German and NTSC for the UK (English and PAL)

Not only that but full brightness and minimum contrast
With a B&W image now on a UK TV, only line-locked, and about 3 overlayed
images so could not distinguish the yellow highlight on the set up screen.

Other than turning TV to full contrast and low brightness which only just
showed a vague difference between yellow and white, any other tips for the
next time someone turns up with such a "repair" ?
