Apple TV and Bose Lifestyle V30 Remotes

I have an Apple TV and older model Bose Lifestyle V30. I have the Apple TV working fine and the Bose working, but I need to use 2 remotes. Is there a way to wire this so I can use just 1 remote, preferably the Apple Remote? The Bose doesn't have an HDMI audio in. It does have an HDMI "Video out to TV" slot.

Use apple TV remote as the *only* remote for a TV I would like to purchase an Apple TV and an accompanying TV. I will use the Apple TV and tvOS as the only software to watch anything on that TV. Is there a way to be able to use the remote of the Apple TV always as the only remote ever, so that I can I turn the TV and the Apple TV on and off with the Apple remote only. Ideally even if both have been completely disconnected from power? I really would like to avoid having to deal with two remotes and doing weird dances, turning stuff on and off and selecting the right input source. When purchasing a TV what do I need to watch out for to make that happen?

How do I pair my Bose sound bar to work with an Apple TV remote First, on the Bose remote, hold down the Bluetooth button until you see a blue blinking light on the sound bar. This makes the sound bar discoverable by the Apple TV remote. Second, go in to settings and then select Bluetooth devices. You should now see the Bose device is now discoverable. Third, select the Bose sound bar and then exit out. Your Apple TV remote should now control the Bose sound bar. editorial: It would’ve been nice if someone on this support page had simply explained this super simple process rather than make it super complicated. That said, it would’ve been equally nice if the Bose system manual had explained how simple this was. Honestly, it’s like two high-end technology companies are not endorsing one another’s products or cooperating. The Bose sound bar is a perfect addition to a 4K Apple TV. Please remember to be nice to one another and encourage one another whenever possible Bose doesn’t sell television boxes and Apple doesn’t sell sound bars. Sounds like a marriage made in heaven.
