How can I change video input without a remote.

Without a remote controller, you may have limited options to change modes on your Apex digital TV. However, you may be able to change the mode by using the buttons on the TV itself.
Here are some general steps you can try:

1. Turn on your TV and make sure your DVD player is connected to it.
2. Look for the "Menu" button on the TV and press it.
3. Navigate through the menu options using the arrow buttons on the TV until you find "Input" or "Source."
4. Press the "Enter" button to select the input/source option.
5. Use the arrow buttons to select the input/source that corresponds to your DVD player.
6. Press the "Enter" button to confirm the selection.
7. Press the "Menu" button to exit the menu.

Note that the specific steps may vary depending on the model of your Apex TV. You may also consult the user manual for your TV for more information on changing modes without a remote controller.

Press the "Menu" button on the front of your Sharp TV. This will allow you to access the menu for your television without a remote. When the menu appears on screen, use the "Channel" buttons to move up and down, the "Volume" buttons to move left and right and the "Input" buttons to select items.

On some TVs, you can change inputs by using a Source or Input button on the TV. These front panel buttons may be on the bottom of the TV bezel, on the right hand side or on the back on the right side as you face the TV. Once you locate the FPA buttons, you either press the Input button several times. Press the Select equivalent or just wait for the input to change. Alternatively, you need touse the Channel or Volume buttons (one pair becomes Up/Down, the other Left/Right) to navigate through the list. Then hit the button that gives the Select equivalent. A few models let you change inputs after pressing the Menu button on the TV and moving through the on-screen menu to a Source sub-menu. Not all TVs support this.

Please add a comment with the manufacturer and model of your TV for specifics that apply to your TV.

I hope this helps.

(Note: if you replace your remote control, check for a Source or Input button on the universal remote. Then try multiple codes for your TV brand to find a code that gives the input function properly.)

As there is no menu button on the front of the TV, you must have its remote control to select he inputs.

Use the menu button to get into the set's menu and try to program without a remote----failing that GOOGLE the model number to locate a new remote.

You can change your inputs by pressing the menu button on the panel of your television.

There might be an input button or menu button on the front of the TV (or behind a door or panel) that will let you set it for video input.

Without the remote, some TV's are useless.  Is there a menu button on the TV itself?  If so, you will have to determine what buttons do what.  For example, volume up and down may let you scroll through the menu while channel up and down may let you go left or right in the menu.  If you only have volume, chanel and input/source buttons, you may need to order a new remote to solve this.
