We have lost the remote for our Sharp 27L-S300B TV and the tv is stuck on "AIR". i bought a universal remote which will operate the channels/volume but will not access the menu so i can not switch the reception from "AIR" to "Cable". can you help? should i purchase a replacement remote from a Sharp vendor our is there a way to activate the menu by entering some sequence of the channel/volume bottoms on the outside of the tv?

No,universal remote only work for the basic like power tv on/off,numbers on the keypad,channel up/down and volume up/down only.Beyond that like inter functions of the tv will not work with the universal tv remote.Only the original remote can do that.Try website like Remotes.com to buy an original remote.
Press and hold the SETUP button until the red indicator stays on, then release the SETUP button.
Press and release the desired Mode button (TV, VCR, etc.). The red indicator blinks, then stays lit.
Enter the 4 digit code from the code tables. Note: after a valid code entry, the red indicator turns off. For an invalid code, the red indicator flashes.
With your device on, press CHANNEL UP. If the device responds, no further programming is required. Note: If some buttons do not operate your device, try one of the other codes for your brand.
For these tvs you have to unplug them for three hours to reset them. When you are able to access the menu if the remote control is not allowing you to move up and down left and right usually channel up is up channel down is down volume - is left and volume + is right. If worse comes to worse you can get the original remote from Sharp for $42.50 +tax and shipping by calling 1.877.674.2832 or from replacementremotes.com for $39.65 at 336-377-2220. The remote can always be returned if having it does not fix your problem.
I would start by trying other codes on the universal remote. Sometimes codes will only work part of the remote such as the numbers or channels but not volume. Your motorola cable remote sounds like it may only need a good cleaning. sometimes when you take remotes apart it will look like somthing got spilt in it. I would start there first.
Your "tuner" in the menu is set on "off air" or "antenna. It should be set on "cable" or "dish". See if you can go into your menu with the buttons on the set and change your tuner setting. Keever
I personally would get myself a "Universal Remote".
These units will operate almost ANY unit that uses Infrared... Ya Punch a "Code" in for your particular TV etc, and thats it... total conrtol...
