Does the above require line of sight with the remote or can I enclose it in a cabinet?

The remote uses bluetooth, which doesn’t require line of sight.

(Volume control uses IR, but that would be to the TV or receiver directly.)

Connecting without remote? Why did Apple ruin the Apple TV (3rd Generation)? I can’t enter the required passcode to use the remote in Control Center without a physical remote control. Why?? Now I have to throw the equipment away and get a Roku. Why did Apple make this terrible change/mistake?
