You must get a remote......even most universals which are in expensive will have a video or input key.......the only way!!

cold solder in vertical ic or bad.

No, it is not a High Definition (HD) TV.

try to press the channel up/down if not working use a universal remote and find the code of sanyo .

If the picture is closing (top to bottom) and goes back to normal when you hit it you probably have a bad solder connection on IC501 (location number) the vertical deflection IC on a metal heat sink. If you mean outwards as in side to side as it looks in the picture, I don't know specifically where to solder but get a magnifying glass and look for suspected bad solder connections. Look for the word width if it is there. It is good that you a confident in soldering.

in your case, i'm sure the your memory in tv is def or your microprocessor is also def.  

Sounds like either there's no connection to an antennea or your tuner is dead. Our TV has the same problem, so we took out the tuner and the games and dvd plays good still. So it's probably the tuner.

dont know for sure but i think that the tube is going bad. Have one in my shop doing almost the same thing.Taped on the tube and it does strange things. My tube tester wont test this kind of tube that is in these sets.Not much help but it is a start.
