i currently control the volume on a surround sound receiver with the Siri 4K remote. We are finally cutting the cord and won’t have our TV remote to power on the TV. Is there a way to do the TV power on the Siri 4K remote and still be able to do vo
Apple TV 4K, tvOS 13
I found it in the AppleTV settings! There was an option under settings that said "Control TVs and receivers" I set it to "On"
Earlier I had set the volume to control the receiver instead of the TV, but didn't find that until today. Thanks!
It should. Make sure HDMI CEC is enabled on your TV and Apple TV. If there were an issue then it would come down to the TV manufacturer and their implementation of the protocol.
If your TV supports HDMI CEC then when you wake the Apple TV it will also turn on the TV and switch to the proper input.
Another option is to get a good quality universal remote such as a Logitech Harmony.
Would that work if the surround sound receiver has video bypass?
Good job finding that.
