Accessing a TV service menu through a universal remote

Post by yayitsdan »

I recently bought a Sony WEGA 24" (KV-24FV300) for playing older gaming consoles on. Unfortunately, the person I bought it from didn't include a remote for the TV. I didn't think this would be a problem until I wanted to get into the service menu to adjust the picture. The way to get into the service menu is through button combinations with the remote:

[PWR OFF] - [DISP], [5], [VOL+], [PWR ON]

Do you guys have a recommendation on a universal remote that would be able to get into the service menu? All of the remotes that I've looked at are lacking the display button.

RM-Y180 (the original remote for it) aren't that expensive used on ebay.

Be very very careful while in the Service Menu. Some have bricked their TV due to hitting the wrong obscure setting; maybe not worth the risk just to dial in that extra 1/4 inch of overscan. At the very least verify that EVERY button on the remote works before diving into the Service Menu.
