New Apple TV remote not pairing


I got a new Apple TV siri remote, but keeps saying pairing remote bring it closer to your apple tv to continue pairing. I even put it on top of the device and turn all Bluetooth devices nearby off - still no joy. Any thoughts?

Good Afternoon kerrin97,


We see that you're looking for assistance with pairing a new Apple TV remote with your Apple TV, and we'd like to see how we can help with this.


We'd recommend confirming that the Apple TV remote that you have is compatible with the Apple TV that you're looking to pair it with. If your Apple TV remote is compatible with the Apple TV that you're pairing with, we'd recommend checking out the following resource to make sure these are the same steps you're using:


Reconnect the Siri Remote to Apple TV


If you see that these are the same steps, and you're still unable to pair the Apple TV remote, we'd recommend that you Contact Apple Support so they can look into this with you in more detail.


Have a great day!
