Help! My Apple Remote automatically turns power of sound system all the way up when you just pick up or touch the Apple TV remote, this is causing much harm to my system

Help! My Apple TV remote has gone crazy. It zooms the volume of my sound system to the max whenever I pickup or even touch my Apple TV remote. The only way to turn my system volume down is with my A/V receiver remote. What can I do?

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 16

Please do the restart of just the remote (TV/Control Center + Volume Down for a few sec), as described in: If your Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote isn't working - Apple Support.


That seems to have solved it for users with your described symptoms:
