You are going to need to do things: have the original remote and call or contact Sansui for information on how to do this--you might also go to where you bought the set and see if maybe they have the owner manual.
This is called a Vchip and the only way unlocking those is with repair. $75 bucks respectivly to reset a vchip. This is not something you can but a defualt code into so do not be fooled by anyone that tells you otherwise. I seen allot of people on fixya that had this same issue and resulted in using the RCA inouts so the vchip does not block you. /So the fix here is two fold.
1. Repair
2. use the inputs with a cable box and you will be fine.
Most Tube tv's like this do not have a digital tuner anyhow so there is really no need all you need to do is by a OTA over the air digital tuner about $60 bucks or subsicribe to cable and hook this up to its inputs.
Thanks please do consider that you got this solution for free when you a rating me today. Please also leave feedback if you will, Thanks
This is probably asking for a PIN code for parental access.
Either check with the manufacturer's website (search for Vchip) or post up your TV's manufacturer, and any type of make and model information printed on it so someone can research it for you.
1. Hit the Menu button on the TV.
2. 'INPUT SECRET No.' should appear.
3. Press and hold both VOL (+) and CH DOWN on the TV set simultaneously until the message 'INPUT SECRET No.' disappears.
4. The vchip settings should be disabled now and the Parental controls menu should be presented, 'disable' Status if need be
