How do I unpair the Apple remote from a TV?

I'm trying to get my Apple TV remote to forget the Samsung TV I've paired it with. I've tried resetting the remote by holding down the "menu" and "up volume" buttons together, but that seems to just reset the connection with the Apple TV – not all of the remote's paired seetings.


Does anyone know how to unpair an Apple TV remote from a 3rd party TV?
