Use other remotes to control Apple TV

You can use a supported TV or receiver remote, a network-based remote for home-control systems, or an infrared remote (commonly known as a universal remote) to control Apple TV.

If your TV or receiver supports HDMI-CEC, Apple TV uses the HDMI connection to allow it to be controlled by your TV or receiver remote. For more information, see the Apple Support article on Apple TV.

Go to Remotes and Devices > Learn Remote, then follow the onscreen instructions.
