How to Turn On Sharp TV With Remote
You can turn on your Sharp TV using the remote control that came with it. All you need to do is press the Power key on the remote. Within a fraction of a second, your TV will respond to your command. Wait for the Sharp logo to appear on the screen. If that happens, your TV has been turned on.
How to Turn On Sharp TV Without Remote
Sometimes, your Sharp TV won’t turn on even if you press the Power button on your remote if the remote’s battery is dead. At times, you might have accidentally misplaced your remote or lost it while shifting homes. Here are some alternative ways to turn on Sharp TV without a remote.
Using Physical Buttons
All Sharp TVs come with physical buttons, which can be used as an alternative for a remote. In most cases, you can see the Power button on the Sharp TV on its back, and you shouldn’t have much trouble finding it. If you cannot find it at the back, look at the top of the television. If you are still struggling to find the button, check your TV’s user manual.
Once you have located the buttons, press and hold the Power button, which is represented by the power icon or the word ‘Power’ printed on top of it. After a few seconds, let go of the button and wait for the Sharp logo to appear and diminish on the home screen.
