A Sharp universal remote will control appliances such as a television set, cable box or VCR. Using this one remote control will give you the option of getting rid of the separate remote controls for the electronic devices. Before you can start using the Sharp universal remote to control electronic devices, that remote will need to be programmed to those devices. This is accomplished by entering a code for those devices into the Sharp universal remote.
Step 1
Turn on the device that you are planning to use with the Sharp universal remote.
