No remote? How to change input on Panasonic Omnivision 13 inch TV VCR FM radio combo (Very easy!)

[@spoongang6002]

I’m in awe that this video was made 2 weeks ago? Like I’m using a tv my parents got in the 90s and this just happens to be made as I’m needing it? Thank you so much a literal life saver

[@OrangeSodaKing]

You're very welcome. I had been meaning to make this video for a while but kept procrastinating. Glad it was helpful!

[@NotaRealFlyingSquirrel]

Dude just fixed up a old Panasonic and I was bummed that I didn't have a remote! Thank you!

[@olimarfunk]

Lifesaver!!! Ive had this tv for years and lost the remote ages ago. Thank you so much!

[@OrangeSodaKing]

You're welcome! I'm glad this helped you

[@MVFRNinja]

Haha, this video is perfect, thank you. I bought myself one of these brand new as a high school graduation present in 2002 to use for gaming when I went to college. Which I did, for many, MANY hours of Halo, Halo 2, 3, Gran Turismo 2/3/4, lots of GTA, several Zelda games on Gamecube, RE4, etc etc etc. I kept gaming on it until probably '08 or so then it became a bedroom TV for nightly shows, where it served that purpose faithfully but less and less frequently. Then, I realized that the last time I turned it on was 2018(?) for the winter olympics. Well, today, I fired it up again and hooked up my old SNES and am rocking Super Mario World all over again, even without the long-lost remote that disappeared during one of the many moves this TV endured. This thing is a tank. I can't even guess how many thousands of hours of run time it has. Still works perfectly and is worth more now than it was when I bought it. Amazing.

[@jonathanforeman3270]

I used this video to help me change the language 😂 I had the omnivision without FM. Still worked! Got the tv for free and cleaned the head and now it’s working like a charm…and in English 😎

[@OrangeSodaKing]

That's awesome, I'm glad you got it working!

[@BaileyMan24]

You are the LITERAL BEST. Found one of these at my grandpa's old house, and immediately wanted to play duck hunt, because why not. It just went through 125 channels. This was so helpful. You are the BEST!!!

[@OrangeSodaKing]

@BaileyMan24 you are welcome, enjoy! The best part is you can hook something else up to the coaxial port (antenna/cable port) on the back, tune into channel 3 or 4, and that's another working input for you. But the yellow and white RCA audio video in ("Line" on this TV) is better quality for sure.

[@OrangeSodaKing]

@@BaileyMan24 you are welcome, enjoy! Thanks for commenting. You can also plug something into the coaxial port (antenna/cable port), tune into channel 3 or 4, and pick up whatever you plugged into the coaxial port there, so you have a second input. It's not quite as good picture and audio quality as the front AV input ("Line" on this TV) though, but it works if you need a second input.

[@BaileyMan24]

[@daft_mervy]

Dude, this was exactly what I needed. My piano teacher was getting rid of her son’s old one of these, and I took it thinking I’d use it as decor, but then I found out it still works! Hooking the PS2 up to it now for NFS underground!

[@OrangeSodaKing]

Heck yeah! Happy PS2'ing. And how cool, I am also a pianist and piano teacher. I have some older recordings on my KZbin channel.

[@daft_mervy]

@@OrangeSodaKing That is cool! I’ve been learning since 2010. Once I got the tv working, I played need for speed underground 2 for … a despairingly long time. Gosh, sometimes old games are more fun than new ones! Well, old by my standards. It came out before I was born!

[@shanegibbens]

Just wanted to say thank you! I have this exact same tv and no remote so was trying to hook up an nes but could figure out how to switch the Input mode with no remote. Your great!

[@OrangeSodaKing]

Thanks for the comment! I am glad this helped you. Panasonic did us all a real favor by including the capability to switch inputs with the buttons on the TV... something Toshiba often doesn't have!

Just saved this TV from being tossed out at work, this helped me give it a new home ❤

[@OrangeSodaKing]

Oh good! Hopefully the VCR still works... VCRs and DVD players that are combined with TVs often aren't made with great parts, and are also hard to get to repair, so they go out more easily than separate VCR/DVD players.

[@NefariousTV]

Life saver my guy. Couldn't find the manual for this anywhere.

[@OrangeSodaKing]

Glad this video could help you!

[@NefariousTV]

​@@OrangeSodaKingany idea what would cause the screen to not display fully? Like it's cutting the side's off of mine once I switch to the input even thought I'm outputting a 4:3 video. It's displaying like 3:4. I can't seem to find a way to adjust it but I'm guessing it could be a problem with my output source.

[@Dualblades47]

Dude you're a legend. I'm setting up my old tv from when I was a kid to play gamecube games and this helped a ton.

[@maxwellclark2345]

Great tutorial! I have the Panasonic Omnivision PV-M1326 from 1995. Unfortunately it doesn't have the remote AND it doesn't have the "action" feature from pressing (any) 2 buttons. The user manual shows a menu just like this and how can be accessed with the remote, but not one word about doing so with the surface buttons. Do you know if there's any other way around this? Thanks!

[@OrangeSodaKing]

@maxwellclark2345 I don't know about that model, sorry. I would hope there is some other way to access menus... maybe hitting both channel change buttons, or other combinations of two buttons? But if nothing works, and there is no mention about changing inputs with the buttons on the TV itself, you may wanna ask a CRT enthusiast group on Facebook or Reddit to see if someone there knows more. You may need to track down the original remote or a universal remote on eBay. I had to do that with a Toshiba 13A21.

[@basilharrison3071]

Hi friend!! Lovely video, marvelously helpful. Do you know how or where I can find out how to do the same on the slightly different pv-m1358w model?

[@OrangeSodaKing]

Is it a Panasonic brand remote, or some other brand remote? What is the brand and model number of the remote?

[@floppingfupatroopa]

What about Channel scanning got antenna but nothing is going through

[@OrangeSodaKing]

@floppingfupatroopa you need a digital-to-analog converter. TV signal is digital now, but these old TVs only read analog signal. If your antenna is an external antenna, you just plug it into the converter, and then plug the converter into either the coaxial port or AV inputs - your choice. If it's a built-in antenna, I don't know how one would do this, but I think you would somehow need to run that antenna through the digital to analogue converter first, then back into the TV via coaxial or AV input. I assume the external antenna option is easier.

[@floppingfupatroopa]

@@OrangeSodaKing thank you really appreciate it but when I was younger I swear my mom used to do it with a vcr but probably the same thing everything is digital

I had a little time to search online, and so far, I found a couple other people with the same issue. It might be like the Toshiba TV videos I recently posted, where you MUST have a remote because the front TV buttons do not have the ability to change... I will look more when I find time and see if I can find any more info!

Nvm guys just unplug and replug your tv in thank you so much ur a life saver 🙏

[@OrangeSodaKing]

​@@floppywater1219you're welcome! Glad you got it working, but just in case for the future: In addition to being plugged in and have AV cables connected, the N64 must have a game, jumper pak or expansion pak, and maybe even a controller all plugged in just for it to display any signal onto the TV. If you do all of that and it still doesn't work, take some isopropyl alcohol (I recommend 90% or higher) and q tips and clean the contacts of your game, pin connector, jumper/expansion pak, and pin connector for jumper/expansion pak. N64s are built like tanks and almost never have a serious issue with them. Same with game cartridges. Almost always, the issue is just needing some cleaning on pins/pin connectors
