Control Your Sylvania TV Using the IR Remote App
If you use an old Sylvania LED/LCD/Plasma TV that doesn’t have WiFi, you can use third-party IR remote apps. Make sure your smartphone has a built-in IR blaster to send remote signals to the Sylvania. This method is inapplicable to iPhone users as those phones don’t have an IR blaster.
After installing the suitable IR remote app on your Android phone, launch the app and press the power button on the interface. Your Sylvania TV should turn off. If not, choose a remote or another IR remote app and check if it works.
