Using the remote app on a mobile phone can be convenient for controlling the Sinotec TV in all cases. So, you don’t need to depend on a remote control every time. Most Sinotec Smart TVs are powered by Google TV and Android TV OS. If your Sinotec is connected to WiFi, you can control it by using the Google TV application. In case of no WiFi, you can use IR remote apps to operate the Sinotec TV. This guide describes the procedure for controlling the Sinotec TV without a remote.

Control the Sinotec TV using the IR Remote App
If you own a Sinotec TV running on Whale OS or any other old model, you can use the IR remote app to control the TV functions. For this, you will need an Android smartphone with a built-in IR blaster. If you have one, install any of the following apps on your Android phone.
Ensure that the smartphone’s IR blaster faces your Sinotec TV. Then, run the remote app and press the Power button. Your Sinotec TV will turn off, which indicates that the remote pairing is successful. Turn on your Sinotec TV and manage its functions using other controlling icons.
