Buttons stuck? After changing batteries, I seem to have lost all functions. After power on, volume control goes only to extremes (0 or 20) menu buttons don't respond and power off works occassionally. Tried clearing and reformatting, but the symptoms don't change. If no fix is available, how about a recommedation for mp3 that is more used for audio books.

First of all

1. **Power On/Off:** Use the "Power" button.
2. **Changing Channels:** Use "Channel Up" and "Channel Down."
3. **Adjusting Volume:** Use "Volume Up" and "Volume Down."
4. **Input Selection:** Use "Input" or "Source" to choose input devices.
5. **Navigating Menus:** Use navigation arrows and "Enter" or "OK."
6. **Mute Function:** Use the "Mute" button.
7. **Number Pad:** Input channel numbers or perform numeric functions.
8. **Special Functions:** Access features like "Menu," "Exit," "Subtitle," or "Info."
9. **Teletext/Closed Captioning:** Access these features if applicable.
10. **Smart TV Features:** Access smart features, apps, or online content if applicable.
11. **Batteries:** Ensure the remote has fresh batteries for responsiveness.

For model-specific details, always refer to your Sharp TV's user manual. If you provide your TV's model number, I can offer more tailored instructions.

Chances are you have a stuck button on the button cluster, what I'd do is remove the connector going to it and use the remote control, with a stuck button the remote won't function properly.

brendee89,
I did not get who the manufacture was of the tv but you may want to see if one or more of
the menue buttons are stuck down on the tv's front panel. This has been a common cause of
problems with Mitsubishi and Sony tv's. It could also cause volume to go up by it's self, no menue
functions, no power up and or no remote control functions to work.
Hope this helps,

That's a problem with universal remote controls. Often they don't control every function of the TV. They just don't have the buttons needed to control everything the original remote did. You'll have the most basic controls - power, channel and volume up and down - and maybe a menu button. But you'll frequently find other things don't work, like switching inputs. There isn't anything you can do except try all the codes for your TV brand and see what each button does. You might find that the buttons have different functions depending on which code you've entered. You might also look for another brand of universal remote that has more functions available.

May be a defect but, if you notice the sound changes with different channels or movies or HD or Standard, look for a volume limiter control button in the menu setup under audio control. Sometimes the menu has a control that you can turn on to limit different volume levels during the shows origination.

Normally this is a good indication of a stuck button on the set. With the set off, try working each of the control buttons. You should be able to feel teh button engage. If one feels like it does not work, that is the likely culprit and it should be replaced.

Let me know your results.

There's a setting in the menu. I think it's called "smart audio". It's supposed to adjust the volume automatically for commercials. But I don't think it works that well. Give that a try.
