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. You can also set up your Apple TV 4K to play sound in Dolby Atmos.
Turn on your TV and select the HDMI input that your Apple TV is connected to. Don't see the set up screen?
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 have an Apple ID, you can create one. If you forgot your Apple ID, learn what to do.
Sign into your TV provider
In some countries and regions, you might be able to sign in to your TV or cable provider on your Apple TV to watch TV shows and movies included in your cable or TV subscription.
If you receive an Apple TV from your cable provider, then your Apple TV should already be authorized for your subscription right out of the box.
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. And download Aerial screen savers.
If you have an Apple TV 4K connected to a 4K television that supports HDR or Dolby Vision, you might be prompted to run a short display test. Follow the onscreen instructions to run the test, and confirm that you have a clear picture. Learn more about 4K, HDR, and Dolby Vision on your Apple TV 4K.
