Unfortunately, my kids dropped the remote of their Kross STB (TSK-530STB), which is now dead despite attempts to revive it. Anyway, for some reason the box is stuck on the setup menu and is unwilling to change, even though I have disconnected it from the mains. I'm sure there is some sort of pram battery inside that I could remove, but given the price of a new HD box fiddling around inside is not worth the effort. However, I'm sure that there must be a physical (non remote) key combination (I don't have the manual) that will reset this silly thing. Does anyone know how to achieve this, just to tide me over until I get a new kid proof all-in-one rubber padded, self levitating, universal remote or a new box or both.

P.S. I have tried every button on every remote in the house, but none of them corresponds to the Kross exit command.

Always there ready with some excellent advice Beer. Thanks mate! I'll try it out when I get home and post my results.

I have an old manual on a KROSS TSK 530 STB, but unfortunately, it only lists functions related to a remote control when doing functions, and no reset function is listed at all.....sorry 'bout this bad bit of news..
I tried everything in the vain hope that something wasn't documented, but in the end you're right. The main menus scroll with the channel buttons, but sub menus and the main functions: OK, Exit etc are bypassed completely and there is no way to leave this loop without the remote. Damn lame engineering, even at Woolies prices( $79 four years ago)! Oh well, the munchkins get a new HD box .

It may be prudent to have a read of similar articles like this before you go buy your next HD box
Viewer, thank you for the help and friendly advice. However, the Freeview propaganda is just that, propaganda, because the only thing that distinguishes a Freeview compatible STB from any other STB is that on the Freeview box you can't skip the ads! That, and until Australia switches over to Mpeg 4, will mean that I'll get better mileage from my current STB and my own research than any reliance on a Freeview badge ... unless, of course, they start encrypting FTA!

Reality is an invention of my imagination.

You probably know this already, ignore it if so..
Use your digi camera and put it in movie mode, and whilst pointing the remote at the camera and pressing a button repeatedly, you should see the remote sending it's signal in the lcd view panel on the camera....if the remote works of course.

Thanks for that. Yes, unfortunately I tried that and the LED isn't working, but that can also be a power supply problem. In any case, I have for the time being resolved the issue by getting another box for $20. I'll deal with Freeview issues later and I'll attempt Beer's solution when I have a moment and post my results.
Cheers Guys
