Question 1

How to access teletext on BBC 1 with this television?

Accepted Answer

The SHARP 55HM5245K features a DVB-T/T2 digital tuner, which means it can receive teletext on digital channels like BBC 1.

To access teletext:

Look for the TEXT or TELETEXT button on your remote control and press it. This is usually the most straightforward method.
If your remote does not have this button, go to the Settings menu and look for a Teletext, Text, or Digital Text option.
The colored buttons (Red, Green, Yellow, Blue) on the remote often allow you to navigate through teletext pages on BBC broadcasts.

If teletext does not appear after these steps, ensure that you are tuned to BBC 1 in digital reception. Some recent SHARP models may have this feature disabled by default in the display settings.

Question 2

How do I connect my internet box/decoder to my SHARP LC-32/37/46/52DH66E TV?

Accepted Answer

HDMI connection of the box

Your SHARP TV has 2 HDMI ports at the back. Connect the HDMI cable from your box to one of these ports (HDMI 1 or HDMI 2).

Select the HDMI source

Once the cable is connected, you need to tell the TV to display the HDMI input:

Press the INPUT button on your remote control
Select HDMI 1 or HDMI 2 depending on the port used
The image from your box should then appear

If it doesn't work

Check that the HDMI cable is securely plugged in at both ends (box and TV)

Wait a few seconds after connecting for the TV to detect the signal

Question 3

My SHARP LC-32/37/46/52DH66E TV turns on but the screen remains black and there is no sound

Accepted Answer

If your SHARP LC-32/37/46/52DH66E TV turns on but the screen remains black, the problem usually comes from the input source selection. Here’s how to check:

1. Change the input source

This is often the main cause. Press the INPUT button on your remote control. The screen should display a menu with the available sources:

HDMI 1 and HDMI 2
VGA
Composite
Component
S-Video
Scart
DVB-T (terrestrial) or DVB-C (cable) tuner

Browse the sources to find the one that contains your device (decoder, player, console, etc.). The image should reappear once you select the correct source.

2. Check the connection cables

If you are using HDMI (the most common solution): make sure the cable is securely plugged into both the TV and your device.
Try another HDMI port (HDMI 1 or HDMI 2) - one of the ports may be faulty.
For other types of connections (Composite, Component, VGA, etc.), also check that the cables are properly connected.

3. Reset the display settings

If changing the source does not help, reset the video settings:

Press MENU
Go to Picture Settings
Select Reset to Default Values

After these checks, your image and sound should be restored. If the problem persists, there may be a hardware defect - contact SHARP customer service.

Question 4

Why won't my SHARP LC-32/37/46/52DH66E TV turn on and the remote control is not responding?

Accepted Answer

Checking the Power Supply

If your SHARP LC-32/37/46/52DH66E TV does not turn on at all, start by checking the power supply:

Check the power cable - make sure it is properly plugged into the wall outlet (220-240V AC) and at the back of the TV
Test another electrical outlet - the current outlet may be faulty or the circuit breaker may have tripped
Check the standby light - at the front of the TV, look for a small indicator light that shows the TV is receiving power (standby consumption: less than 0.5W). If it is not lit, the problem is with the power supply.
Press the power button - this may be located on the side or bottom of the screen depending on your model (32", 37", 46" or 52")

Specific Issue: Remote Control Not Working

If the standby light is on but the TV does not respond to the remote control:

Check the orientation of the batteries - open the battery compartment at the back of the remote and ensure that the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals are correctly oriented in the slots
Clean the contacts - wipe the springs of the contacts inside the battery compartment and the ends of the batteries with a dry cloth (oxidation can prevent contact)
Test the infrared - point the remote directly at the TV's IR sensor (usually located at the bottom or top of the front panel). The range is typically 8 to 10 meters in a direct line
Check for any obstacles blocking the beam - anti-reflective coatings or glass can block infrared signals

If the TV remains off despite these checks

If the standby light does not appear after checking the power supply and electrical outlet, the SHARP LC-32/37/46/52DH66E TV likely has an internal fault. Contact SHARP customer service to diagnose the issue. Note that the maximum power consumption is 110W (32" model), 140W (37"), 200W (46") or 250W (52"), so ensure that your electrical installation can support this load.
