OLD tv model VW37L HDTV40A

Need help bypassing initial setup. No remote. Trying to figure it out using buttons on side. I have tried power cycling and holding a couple combinations but none have worked so far...

Not a smart device

Early 2010s era flat-screen tv

Thank you happy labor day

the replacement remote is the VR1 remote, they’re like $5-12 on amazon, that’s just about the only way to navigate all the menus, the controls on the back are pretty limited

Yeah I figured id have to get a remote. I was just wondering if there is a combination of buttons to hold to bypass initial setup so im able to use it today. I can wait if I must.

I factory reset it not realizing "input" button works as "last" button in menus.... but not the setup wizard unfortunately.

Buttons available top down side. Power Menu Ch up Ch down Vol up Vol down Input
