How to Configure a Universal Remote With Apple TV
The Apple TV remote control is great, but it has its limitations. If you want to control your Blu-ray player and other connected devices with one remote, it makes sense to configure your Apple TV with a universal remote control. The steps for setting up the remote depend on the brand, so consult the manual that came with it. Power on the new remote and then follow these steps to configure the universal remote for your Apple TV. When you have completed this process, you’ll be able to use your universal remote to control most functions on your Apple TV.
Troubleshooting Problems and Solutions
If you previously set up another remote with your Apple TV, you might get a Button Already Learned message when attempting to set up the new one. You can unpair the old remote even if you no longer have the device by going to your Apple TV Settings.
Are all Universal Remotes Compatible With Apple TV?
Apple TV is compatible with most universal infrared (IR) remote controls. However, not every remote supports Apple TV, so do some research online before making a purchase.
