Question

Is there a way to hard reset an old TV

Jul 20, 2017 8:54AM PDT

I´m starting this thread as I can´t find nothing on the Internet about this.
I found an old CRT TV at my home without a remote control. I also found a universal remote control and I was able to control the TV. However when I pushed buttons with settings I accidently lowered the color levels to zero and there is no button which can add the color, so now I have TV with grayscale picture. I was wondering if there is a way to hard reset these TVs so I can have the default settings. Since it is a really old piece of technology, I am afraid there is not.
The model is:CTV-2610 M

The problem for me is the language barrier.

There were some offers for 8 to 16 dollars but I can't justify spending money to answer here.
