read Control your TV or receiver with your Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote, especially paying attention to this part:

Make sure that HDMI-CEC is on

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

Make sure that your TV or receiver offers HDMI-CEC support. For help, ask the TV manufacturer or check the manual.
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
