So, in my grandmother's house we found an old CRT that my mum had in her barbershop, and I wanted to hook it up to the Playstation 2 I used to play as a child. However, we don't have a remote.
Does anyone know how to get around it? Apparently, NEO didn't add any functionality to go to AV unless you had the remote control. Manual online shows as much.
If anyone knows maybe where I could find the infrared codes so I can use my old Xiaomi phone? I don't know what else to even do anymore.

Re: Help getting a NEO TV-1518TXF to AV
Hopefully this tv remote might work, if not as it's not very expensive to begin with: https://www.ebay.com/itm/174797838341?_ ... R_aZ5ODUZw
Sometimes, it helps to enter the specific tv remote and see what comes up, otherwise you're "shit outta luck" as the ol' saying goes in this particular instance considering that it's an old-school 21" PAL based CRT TV as it is.
The only other alternative is to buy an A/V switcher box that accepts the usual RCA Composite Video, S-Video, Component Video and/or Scart inputs to RF output would be the logical solution in this case. What kind of A/V inputs does the PAL 21" TV have anyways?

Back in 2007-2009, there was a period of transitioning from the old American VHF/UHF analog TV airwave broadcast signals to the the newer all digital TV broadcast signals that the local TV stations were required to start using as mandated by the FCC -- thus the "Analog to Digital Convertor Boxes" being sold during that time that allowed you to hook up a pair of the old-school "rabbit ears" to the convertor box and watch digital TV programming on the old-school CRT-based TVs that were still quite prevalent in the American TV households.
Sure, you could buy an "HDTV Ready" equipped TV but those still required buying an external digital exterrestial convertor box just to receive the "newer" incoming digital TV broadcast signals + the fact that they were "completely useless" unless you bought the required digital box add-on -- eventually TV manufacturers started including such built-in digital exterrestial receiver within the TVs themselves to solve that pressing issue.
It's well-known that American TV broadcasting stations use the lower 720p transmission TV signals to save on TV transmission bandwidth rather than using the higher bitrate 1080p TV transmission bandwidth signals.
Samsung sold such NTSC based external digital exterrestial receiver boxes (capable of receiving the newer 720p digital broadcasting TV signals at that point in time) that had all the necessary old-school analog outputs including RCA Composite Video, S-Video, Component Video, RF and the obligatory single HDMI output (in 720p and up to 1080i format) as well for the newer "HDTV Ready" based TVs being sold back in 2005-2006 at retail. It wasn't until late 2006-early 2007 that Sharp released it's smallest 32" sized Aquos HDTV that supported the 1080p format.
