Answer 1

Hi,

The manual is available here:

See bottom of page 42 for instructions on how to unlock the panel but do it you're going to need the remote control, I fear!


The front panel of the COMBI VISION can be locked to prevent it
from being used by young children for example.
1 To lock the front panel, display the television menu by pressing MENU
( ).
2 Select the SETUP option by pressing the P ▲ or ▼ buttons the required
number of times.
3 Press the + button.
4 Select the PANEL LOCK option by pressing the P ▲ or ▼ buttons the
required number of times.
5 Select ON by pressing the + button.
Result: The buttons on the front panel no longer have any effect.
6 To unlock the front panel, set the PANEL LOCK option to OFF.

See if you can get a universal remote control from a place like;
http://www.remotehouse.co.uk/

and if it supports your TV, once it's set to the correct IR frequencies, you should be able to use it to unlock it, and then keep it as a spare etc.

I did wonder if the setting is stored via a backup battery, so you could try unplugging the TV and leaving it off for a couple of days to see if that runs down the battery and "loses" the locked setting. (My own VCR has a backup battery that lasts for about 45 minutes)

HTH
