AQUOS TVリモコン — control your AQUOS with your iPhone
AQUOS TVリモコン is a complimentary iPhone app from Sharp that turns your phone into a wireless remote for compatible AQUOS smart TVs. It connects to the TV over your local Wi‑Fi network and is intended for AQUOS models with internet features released in 2012 or later.
What you can do with the app
- Browse the TV’s program guide and launch internet-based services directly from your phone.
- Change channels and modify the volume just as you would with the physical remote.
- Start high-resolution broadcasts (4K/8K) when your TV supports those formats.
- Use Hybridcast-compatible features when both devices support integration.
- Enjoy tactile feedback: the app offers a vibration response to touch operations.
Compatibility and technical requirements
The app requires a Wi‑Fi (wireless LAN) connection between your iPhone and the AQUOS TV. Compatibility depends on the TV model and the presence of internet functionality; generally, models from 2012 onward with network features are supported. For best results, keep your TV’s firmware up to date.
Important caveats and known limitations
- App behavior and available features differ by TV model — some functions on one AQUOS set might not be present on another.
- The app’s availability and functionality can change, be interrupted, or be discontinued without prior notice.
- Depending on your smartphone’s screen dimensions, the interface may be rescaled, which can occasionally shift or misplace buttons.
- To minimize compatibility problems, install the latest software updates on both the TV and the phone.
