(lost TV picture) YPbPr selected instead of component

I am good with tech but I am also a newbie to sat receivers and would appreciate your help.

A very non-tech friend just gave me a clone DM500 because thinks he "broke it"... Its not broken. I just need some help finding out how to reset the video output settings on this unit, so I can use it.

It wont display a picture on any TV because he changed the video output to "YPbPr", when there is no scart YPbPr connector attached, only component RCA cables. (So i believe its just not sending the picture to the correct output)

When he opened the box to set it up, he says he changed the aspect ratio from 4:3 to 16:9 (not an issue) then, even though his DM500 was hooked up via red white & yellow component RCA cables, he selected "RGB" and when he got the message saying that he must restart Enigma for this change to take effect, he then changed "RGB" to "YPbPr" (I dont know why)... and when he restarted Enigma, the screen went black and never came back on.

Now that I have this unit, I hook it up, power it on, green light comes on, blank black TV screen blinks as if it were about to show the setup screen... Then, Nothing... Screen stays black.

What's the best way to get this unit to display a picture again?
(I'd use the remote control to reset the factory default settings, but I cant since the unit wont show a picture on the TV to be able to view that menu)
