El definitely improved remote control Siri that incorporates the fourth generation of Apple TV includes dedicated buttons to control the volume, which can also be configured to control the audio level on televisions and other receivers by infrared.
For users who have conventional televisions, users can configure the Apple TV remote control to be used for control the volume of the TV. This feature is configured in the Apple TV menu, opening the "Settings" option from the on-screen menu and subsequently accessing the options "Remotes> Volume Control”. There we will discover the option we have to choose: "Recognize new device".
With this we will make possible the fact that Apple TV recognize frequency with which our remote control emits and saves it. Apple TV will urge us to hold down the buttons to raise and lower the volume of the TV remote control. A) Yes will pick up the infrared signal of the remote and adapt it, making the Apple TV remote control mimic it to be compatible with the TV. After having made this configuration, Apple TV will ask the user to name the device to save it and be able to identify it later. Once the volume control is set, the “plus” and “minus” buttons at the bottom right of the Apple TV remote control will already work with our TV, and can be used to adjust the volume of the TV.
There is also the possibility of using other system. More and more televisions and receivers allow devices that connect to them via HDMI to control power on / off and volume. The new Apple TV also comes configured with this system, known as HDMI-CEC. For those users who have a compatible television, the configuration can be established within the menu “Remote controls> Equipment control”. In this menu that we have accessed, we have the option of activating or deactivating the volume controls and turning the TV on or off.
