  • The new Siri Remote (2nd generation) has a power button that is said to also work for TVs via IR (depending on settings). Receivers or other audio systems aren't mentioned.
  • The previous Siri Remote (1st generation) and the new Siri Remote (2nd generation) can indirectly turn off HDMI-connected devices through HDMI-CEC functionality. CEC will not propagate over optical connections.
