How to program universal remote for Sharp TV
Now that we have the preliminary information let’s get to programming your universal remote using the Sharp TV remote codes.
Step
Turn on the TV
Power up your Sharp TV by connecting its power cord to a functional wall socket.
Step
Initiate the setup process
Now, depending on the type of remote, you’ll have to press a different button to start the setup. For example, the button on a Philips or GE remote is labeled “Setup.” Press and hold that button till it lights up.
Step
Press the TV button
Since we are programming this universal remote for your Sharp TV, press the ‘TV’ button.
Step
Enter the code
From the table above, pick a code corresponding to your remote and enter it using the number keys. Once you’ve entered the code, the light and the TV might turn off. Don’t panic, as this is normal.
Step
Check if the code was accepted
Press the “Power” button on the remote to see if your TV turns on. If it does, the code is accepted, and the remote is programmed successfully. If it doesn’t, you’ll have to repeat this process with a different code from the table.
How to program universal remote for Sharp TV without codes
If you are having trouble finding the right code or are not sure which one to use, then you can use this auto-code-search method.
Step
Start the programming mode
On your universal remote, you will see a ‘Setup’ or ‘Program’ or ‘Magic’ button. You have to press it to trigger the programming mode. Press and hold this button until you see a light on the remote.
Step
Press the ‘TV’ button
Then, you have to press the ‘TV’ button as we are programming the remote for your Sharp TV.
Step
Press the ‘Power’ button
Aim the universal remote at your Sharp TV and press the power button. Your TV and remote are testing codes and finding the suitable ones. Once the right code is found, the TV will turn off.
If the Sharp TV does not turn off, press the power button again. Keep doing this until the TV turns off.
Step
Press the volume+ key
Next, power on your Sharp TV manually. Then, aim your remote at it and press the ‘Volume+’ button. The TV will then go through the previous set of codes. If the Sharp TV turns off, press the TV button to lock the code.
However, if the Sharp TV does not turn off, press the ‘Volume +’ button and keep pressing it every 3 seconds until the TV turns off.
Step
Check if the remote works
Now, power your TV on and press a few buttons to see if the remote is working fine.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use my phone as a Sharp TV remote?
You can use your phone to control your Sharp TV via the Google TV application. You can download it through the Google Play Store, set it up with your TV, and then use it as a remote.

Being able to control multiple devices with one remote certainly has its benefits, such as reduced clutter, and the best part is that setting it for these devices isn’t difficult at all. On the contrary, it’s simple and only takes a couple of minutes.
