Finding Panasonic Replacement Remote EUR7724020

[Dan Schafer]

Hi All,
I have a Panasonic model PV-DF2704 (c. 2004), remote model EUR7724020 TV given to me for my patio. After one very humid night the remote became dead. It didn't get wet or even because of the high humidity but it's dead. Of course the VCR has not worked in quite sometime, so those functions on the remote are no longer necessary. Just wondering if there might be a list (or suggestion) of the remote models that will work for the TV? Original part # is expensive. If I can only access the TV menu I'd be fine. I can't see anyway to get at the menu without the remote. Is there a way? I have my Direct-TV cable running into the set and the signal is over-driving the video circuits...too bright and washed-out. Thanks in advance for anyone's 2¢.
