If are planning to use a universal remote with your sharp tv for whatever reason, then you first need to set it up using codes so that the universal remote can talk to the sharp tv just as a normal sharp remote would do.
Sometimes you need to use a secondary remote that comes with a set-top box or if the original remote has failed. In both cases the universal remote can be configured to control the tv like its original remote did.
Universal remote come in a variety of types that can be confusing. For instance there are certain remotes that work with all tvs of a particular brand like samsung or sharp. These do not need any configuration or programming, they just work out of the box.
Besides that, there are actual "programmable universal remotes" that can work with tvs of all brands, and even other devices like dvd players, set-top boxes and other things that are operated using remotes.
The codes that we are listing in below are meant to be used with actual programmable universal remotes. These are also called "smart programmable learning remotes".
