If you get a set and it works well, you can often type the model number into
ebay and the sellers who specialize in remotes often have them listed along
with the tv/vcr/helicopter/time machine they go with.....

The secret menu is often accessed by some odd combination of front panel
buttons along with pulling the plug from the wall while holding a fan above
the screen - odd stuff, but it's not a button on the remote as far as I know....

In the case of my Sanyo it was written in the service manual, which I found online,
It gave access to screen controls, vert size, drive controls.... stuff like that.

Layout was cryptic and numeric, you had to have the manual which had the
item written out, like Green Screen Adjust. and it had a cryptic ID like GR1
and you scroll through till you find it by number or ID then next to it
was both the present value, and it's preset, which you could reset it to if
you wanted. It saved when you exited. All these modern sets have this
menu, some you can find on google by asking "your tv" and "setup menu"
There are a few pages out there with just these menus on them, and how to
get to them..... Just be careful, write down what you do, and do only one
or two at a time.... There is no confirmation for it all, its not home owner
friendly, no warnings etc.
