How to Change Input on Sharp TV Without Remote

At times, your Sharp TV remote might not work. In that case, you can use the following alternate methods to change the input.

Use Physical Buttons to Change the Input on Sharp TV

Sharp TVs have multiple physical buttons on their TV panel, such as the Power button, Volume Buttons, Channel Buttons, Source or Input button, and Menu or Home button. If you want to change your TV’s input, you can directly press the Source or Input button at the side or back of your TV. If there is no Input or Source button on your Sharp TV, just hit the Menu button on the TV and use the Volume or Channels buttons to navigate to the Input section and choose your desired source.

In a few models of Sharp TV like Sharp Roku TV, there will be only a Power button on its TV panel. You can use this Power button to easily change the Input on your TV. Just turn on your TV and press the Power button once. A menu with options will be shown on the TV. Hit the Power button repeatedly until you reach your desired HDMI input. Once you reach your desired HDMI input, leave the selection without pressing any button for 2 seconds, and the HDMI source will be selected automatically.

Use the Remote Apps

If changing the input on your Sharp TV using physical is not convenient for you, use the Sharp TV remote apps to change the input. A list of remote apps that are compatible with Sharp TV is tabulated below.

Sharp TV	Remote Apps
Sharp Android TV or Sharp Google TV	Google TV (Play Store | App Store)
