If you are a Sharp TV user, the Power button of your TV’s remote will allow you to turn on your TV right from where you are. But sometimes, the Power button on your Sharp TV remote might not work due to a low battery or malfunction. At that time, you may think that pressing the TV’s physical Power button is the only way to turn the TV on. There are also a few other ways to turn on your TV without a remote control. This article provides all the easy techniques to turn on your Sharp TV without a physical remote.
Steps to Turn On Sharp TV With Remote
If you have a Sharp TV remote in perfect condition, you can turn on your Sharp TV just by pressing its Power button. Before you try to turn on your TV using the remote, ensure that your TV’s cord is plugged firmly into the power outlet and that it is switched on. Once you do so, your Sharp TV will run in standby mode, which can receive incoming signals from the remote.
Steps to Turn On Sharp TV Without Remote
If your Sharp TV remote controller doesn’t work, you cannot turn on your TV using the Power button. The remote control issues might be due to a weak battery, a damaged IR emitter, or a damaged Power button. Thus, follow the below alternative ways to turn on your TV without a remote.
Use the Physical Power Button
All Sharp TVs mandatorily come with a physical Power button on the TV bezel. The location of the Power button of the Sharp TV will differ based on its model. If you use an old Sharp TV model, the Power button will be among the group of other physical buttons present on the left, right, or at the back of your TV. In some Sharp TVs, there will be a Joystick button present on the side or back of the TV. This Joystick button is a combination of Power, Volume, and Channel buttons. Pressing this button once will power On or Off your TV. When you push the button towards the left or right, it will adjust the volume. You can change channels by pushing the button up or down.
On the other hand, if you are using the latest Sharp TV model, there will be only a Power button on its TV panel. This Power button will be hidden at the bottom of your Sharp TV below its logo. Once you find it, press the Power button on your Sharp TV model to turn it on without a remote control.
Turn On Sharp TV Using External Devices via HDMI CEC
If you have connected external devices, such as gaming consoles or streaming devices to your Sharp TV, you can turn it on using the HDMI-CEC feature. The HDMI-CEC is a feature that allows the connected HDMI device and your TV to communicate with each other by matching its power state. So, connect your external device to your Sharp TV using the HDMI cable. After connecting it, turn on the HDMI-CEC feature on your Sharp TV and your streaming device. Now, when you turn on your external device, it will also power On your Sharp TV automatically.
Use a Universal Remote to Turn On Sharp TV
If the original TV remote is damaged, you can also control and turn on your TV using any universal remote. On some universal remotes, you don’t need to pair your remote with the TV to use the Power and Volume buttons. If the Power button is not working on your universal remote, follow the steps below to program the remote.
1. After powering up your TV using the physical Power button, press the TV and CH+ buttons on the universal remote simultaneously. The light on your universal remote will begin to flash.
2. Enter the universal remote code assigned for your TV. You can refer to your remote’s user manual to find the remote codes.
3. After entering the code, if the light stops, press the TV button on the remote to save the code and finish the pairing process.
Now, you can use the universal remote to power on and control your TV.
