Im pretty sure I've used that model or something similar before. It's defo a combo like that. Are you using the original remote control? If not then it might not be working as you'd expect.

Try finding the manual online which helped me.

Quick google on phone brought up this: http://freeservicemanuals.info/en/servicemanuals/viewmanual/Sony/KV29F1A/KV29F1K/KV29F1R/KV29F1U/ (http://freeservicemanuals.info/en/servicemanuals/viewmanual/Sony/KV29F1A/KV29F1K/KV29F1R/KV29F1U/)

Well there loads of great info in the manual cheers guys . turns out I was pressing a wrong key the writing on the buttons has worn away with age , was trying to turn it on with the standby button . lol this set is way to heavy to put in a cabinet like I was planning , was expecting a smaller set when I collected it. Hopefully its up to the job ,☺
