No, it says to enter the 4-digit code on your iOS device.


Here are the instructions again.


  1. Make sure that your iOS device is on the same Wi-Fi network as your Apple TV.
  2. Add the Apple TV Remote to Control Center, then open Control Center.
  3. Tap, then choose your Apple TV.
  4. If asked, enter the four-digit code on your iOS device that appears on your Apple TV.
