So, there is no way to access the video inputs front or back without the remote control. This is a prime example of why I don't mess with newer stuff.
And it apparently has an auto-shutoff feature, whereby the set turns off when left in a no signal condition for about 15 minutes. Thought it was an intermittent shutdown issue, but when it is playing a movie on my little NTSC channel 12, it stays on

My Insignia 19" flat screen will revert to standby mode if it does not detect a signal on any input after about five minutes. In the 1980s, I had an Emerson 19" color TV (NTSC) which also would shut itself off after the last TV station in the owner's area signed off. Probably was designed that way for folks who have a habit of falling asleep in front of the set, although that feature wouldn't work today, since almost all TV stations now run 24 hours a day non-stop. One unusual thing about that automatic shutoff feature, on my set anyway, was that the TV would turn itself off at random during severe thunderstorms. The power remained on, but the TV would shut down at the first loud clap of thunder. This was the only TV I ever had which would do that; I've wondered why ever since, although the set is long gone by now.
