Set up your Apple TV

To get started with your Apple TV, follow these steps.

Here’s what you need

• Personal Internet*
• A TV or other display with an HDMI port
• An HDMI cable (On Apple TV 4K, you need an HDMI 2.0 or later compatible cable)

If you want to set up your Apple TV with your iOS device, do these things first on your iOS device:

*Apple TV doesn’t support public or subscription networks with sign-in requirements.

Choose your Apple TV

Set up your Apple TV 4K or Apple TV HD

To go back to a previous screen during setup, press the Menu button on your remote. To start over, unplug your Apple TV from power, then plug it back in.

Plug it in and turn on your TV

Plug your Apple TV into power and connect it to your TV with an HDMI cable. To watch movies in 4K HDR on Apple TV 4K, make sure that you’re using an HDMI 2.0 or later cable, and have a TV that supports 4K, HDR, or both. Then turn on your TV and select the HDMI input that your Apple TV is connected to.

If you don’t want to connect to Wi-Fi during setup, you can connect your Apple TV to your router with an Ethernet cable.

Choose your language, and turn on Siri

Swipe on the Touch surface of your Apple TV Remote to find your language and country or region. To choose an option, click the Touch surface. If you choose the wrong language, press the Menu button to return to the previous screen.

If asked, choose whether to use Siri.

Continue setup with your iOS device or set up manually

To automatically add your Apple ID and Wi-Fi settings to your Apple TV, choose Set Up with Device. Then unlock your iOS device, hold it next to your Apple TV, and follow the onscreen steps on your iOS device and Apple TV.

If you don’t want to set up your Apple TV with your iOS device, choose Set Up Manually. Then follow the onscreen steps on your Apple TV to connect to your home Wi-Fi network and sign in with your Apple ID.

If you don’t have an Apple ID, you can create one. If you forgot your Apple ID, learn what to do.

Sign in with your TV provider

In some countries and regions, you might be able to sign in with your TV or cable provider on your Apple TV to watch TV shows and movies included in your cable or TV subscription.

Choose settings

Turn on One Home Screen to keep the Home screen and apps the same across every Apple TV. Choose a room where your Apple TV is to automatically add it to the Home app on your iOS device and Mac. Or add users to your Apple TV.

Get apps and start streaming

When setup is complete, you’ll see the Home screen. From here, you can watch your favorite shows, movies, and discover more of what you love to watch in the Apple TV app. You can also download games and apps from the App Store.

If you can’t control your TV or receiver with your Apple TV Remote

Find out what to do if you need help with volume or other features of your Siri Remote, Apple TV Remote, or home theater remote.

Use your Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote

Your Apple TV 4K or Apple TV HD should automatically detect the TV or receiver that you plug it into and program your Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote 1 to control power and HDMI input.

Before using your Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote to control your TV or receiver, clear the path between your remote and the front of your television or receiver. Volume control normally works using the IR sensor 2 on the front of your equipment.

If volume, power, or HDMI selection don’t automatically work for you, you might need to program your remote for volume or turn on HDMI-CEC on your TV or receiver.

Use a home theater remote

You can use a home theater remote, like a network-based remote for home-control systems or an infrared remote (also known as a universal remote), to control your Apple TV.

To set up your home theater remote to control your Apple TV:

1. Add your Apple TV to the Home app and make sure that you assign it to a room.
2. Add the remote to the Home app on an iOS or iPadOS device and make sure that you assign it to a room.

After you add the remote to the Home app, you can use it to control any Apple TV that you have in your home.

To learn different ways you can use your remote to control your Apple TV, go to Settings > Remotes and Devices and select Learn Remote.

If you have issues with your remote or want to learn more about using your remote to control Apple TV, contact the manufacturer or visit their website.

Get help with your Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote

If you need help with volume or other features of Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote, you might need to program your Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote manually or make sure that HDMI-CEC is turned on.

Program your remote for volume

If volume control doesn’t work automatically, you can manually program your Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote:

1. On your Apple TV 4K or Apple TV HD, go to Settings > Remotes and Devices > Volume Control.
2. Select Learn New Device.
3. Follow the onscreen steps to program your Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote to control volume for your television or receiver.

Your Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote can control volume for either your television or your receiver, but can’t control both simultaneously.

Make sure that HDMI-CEC is on

If some features don’t work, check the following:

1. Make sure that your TV or receiver offers HDMI-CEC support. For help, ask the TV manufacturer or check the manual.
2. Check that HDMI-CEC is turned on in the menu of your TV or receiver. Use the remote that came with your equipment. Since manufacturers often have different names for HDMI-CEC, look for a setting that ends in «Link» or «Sync.» Here are some examples:

• LG: SimpLink
• Philips: EasyLink
• Samsung: Anynet+
• Sharp: Aquos Link
• Sony: BRAVIA Sync

1. Apple TV 4K and Apple TV HD ships with the same remote everywhere. In countries and regions that support Siri, the remote is called Siri Remote. Elsewhere, it’s called Apple TV Remote. Siri works on either remote as long as you’re in a country or region that supports Siri.
2. While volume control normally works using the IR sensor on the front of your TV or receiver, some receivers use HDMI-CEC instead. With volume through HDMI-CEC, you don’t need a clear path between your remote and the front of your receiver.

Use your TV as a display with Mac

You can use many televisions as computer displays. To connect your Mac to your television, you need a video cable that connects your computer’s display port to the video input port on your TV. If you can’t find a cable that connects the ports on your Mac and TV, you may need an adapter for the cable. (You can also use AirPlay. See Use AirPlay to stream what’s on your Mac to an HDTV.)

If you have an HDTV and a Mac with a Thunderbolt port , Mini DisplayPort or HDMI port, you may also be able to play audio from your computer on your TV.

Connect your Mac to your TV

Connect one end of the video cable (or an adapter, if necessary) to the computer’s Thunderbolt port , HDMI port or DVI port , then connect the other end of the cable to the TV’s video input port.

If you need to adjust the resolution on your TV, choose Apple menu

> System Preferences, click Displays , then select Default for display to automatically use the best resolution or select Scaled to manually select a resolution.

If you want your HDTV to play audio as well as video from your Mac, choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click Sound , then click Output.

Select your HDTV in the list of devices. If you want to play audio on a different device (such as your computer’s speakers or an AV receiver that’s part of your sound system), select it instead.

Note: If your Mac has a Mini DisplayPort , make sure you use a cable (and adapter, if necessary) that supports both audio and video.

Check whether you can play audio from your Mac on your TV

If your Mac has a Mini DisplayPort, it may be able to send audio to your HDTV.

Note: If your Mac has a Thunderbolt or HDMI port, it can send audio to your HDTV.

Choose Apple menu

Click Overview, then click the System Report button.

In the sidebar, in the Hardware section, select Audio.

A list of your computer’s audio devices appears. If HDMI Output or HDMI/DisplayPort output is listed, your computer’s Mini DisplayPort can send audio.

Question: Q: HDMI-CEC is not working with Apple TV 4K

With my 4K Apple TV device HDMI plugged into my receiver, all CEC actions fail for all devices. I can plug in my older HD Apple TV and all is happy. Or removing the 4K device resolves the issue as well. I’ve just updated the 4K to tvOS 14 with same symptoms.

Anyone else experience this? I think the device itself has failed.

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 14

I solved the problem by disabling CEC on my tv and then re-enabling it. Also appleTV reflects this in the settings — previously it was not possible to enable/toggle CEC at all.

Then put all devices into Standby and wake up AppleTV with the remote.

It sounds like following your update to tvOS 14 your 4K Apple TV gives you an error and all CEC actions fail for all devices.

You may want to start by taking a look at the information in: Control your TV or receiver with your Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote. Specifically the section titled «Make sure that HDMI-CEC is on» at the bottom of the article.

We appreciate you reaching out to Apple Support Communities. Please feel free to keep us updated on your progress. Be well!

Same problem from few days ! Impossible to power on my TV or power off when I start or off my Apple TV 4K.

yet it used to work very well before.

I think it’s coming since the upgrade to tvOS 14.

Upgrading to 14.0.1 does not solve the problem.

Sep 25, 2020 3:01 PM

I’m having the same problem and this didn’t fix the issue. Old Apple TV with TVOS 14 works flawlessly. The issue is with my last gen Apple TV. It stopped working since the update.

Sep 26, 2020 10:59 PM

tvOS 14.0.2 still does not correct the problem HDMI-CEC power on power off TV !

Oct 6, 2020 12:43 PM

Apple replaced my TV 4K and that finally resolved the issue.

Oct 10, 2020 6:27 AM

Ever since I upgraded to the TVOS 14 my CEC stopped working. Exact same cables exact same tv and nothing. I even checked for a newer update and there was one but yet it still doesn’t work. I am currently on 14.0.2 and it’s been happening ever since I upgraded to 14

Oct 12, 2020 10:25 PM

Same problem here, stopped working after update,

no other changes made

Oct 15, 2020 2:24 AM

Same issue with my Apple TV 4K since the tvOS 14 update. TV no longer turns on or off with CEC turned on on both the TV and Apple TV.

Oct 17, 2020 12:04 PM

Found a work around, turn off Air Play and seems that fixes the problem.

Oct 17, 2020 11:34 PM

This is almost certainly not a device fail.

I experienced the same exact problem here, and I am CONVINCED it’s a tvOS 14 issue.

I have had the combination Sony STR-DN1080 amp, Philips (and Samsung TV) and the HD version of AppleTV for quite a while, and CEC never worked for me, resulting in me disabling it and living with two/three remotes.

I always thought the issue was with the Sony, since there were lots of complaints online about a»non-compliant» CEC implementation from Sony. and you know, it’s Sony.

However, to my surprise, when I upgraded to the 4K AppleTV, and (for fun) tried to turn HDMI-CEC on again, it suddenly worked flawlessly! I could switch on and off the TV, amp and AppleTV with one action (using just the Apple remote). I tried switching back to the HD AppleTV and it was broken again.

All right, I guessed whatever issue that was, had been resolved with the newer hardware of the 4K or something.

Now the funny part. I moved my «old» Apple TV to another TV/amp combo (Onkyo amp and Grundig TV) and set up HDMI-CEC. One remote — worked! Huh? Maybe the issue was with the Sony after all? Oh, well.

So I lived the good life for almost a year, then one day Apple pushed out the tvOS 14 update.

Once both AppleTVs were upgraded to tvOS 14 — HDMI-CEC was broken. again. and now in BOTH setups. WTH.

Specifically, although I could wake the AppleTV/amp from sleep using the Apple remote, both TVs refused to switch off once the Apple TV (4K + HD) went to sleep.

This is clearly a tvOS 14 bug that I hope Apple can get fixed ASAP.
