Programming universal 
remote controls
You can operate your Sharp TV with a new or existing 
universal remote control.
1See the table in “Common universal remote 
control codes” for common codes. If you have 
problems programming your remote or need a 
different remote control code, see the instructions 
that came with the remote control or check the 
remote control manufacturer’s website for the 
latest remote control code information. 
2Follow your universal remote control’s instructions 
to enter the TV code you found in Step 1.
For additional help and information:
• Visit the remote control manufacturer’s website
• Call technical support for the universal remote 
control or cable/satellite company of the 
remote/set-top box you are trying to program.
Common universal remote control codes
The following is a list of the most common remote 
control codes. Check the remote control 
manufacturer’s website or check with your cable or 
satellite TV provider for the remote control code.
Tips
• If your universal remote control has a 
code search feature, run a code search 
to identify a code that matches your 
TV. See your universal remote control’s 
instructions for details.
• If your universal remote control has a 
“Learn” feature, you can manually 
program it using the Sharp TV remote 
to “teach” the commands one at a 
time. See your universal remote 
control’s instructions for details.

Tips
• The brand name is often visible on the 
front of the universal remote control, 
and the model number is often visible 
on the back.
• If your universal remote control isn’t 
listed on the chart, refer to your 
universal remote control’s instructions 
and try codes for the brands Orion, 
Emerson, Memorex, Sansui, Sylvania, 
or Zenith. You may need to try several 
codes before finding a match.
