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.
Apple TV 4K, tvOS 16
Every time Bose TV Sound Bar shuts down, along with TV and apple TV box - all with ATV remote; the bluetooth connection is lost and must use the Bose remote to initiate bluetooth pairing and go to apple box and go through connection process - it does save the bose speaker, but always shows it as 'disconnected' - so have to reconnect each and every time. Have apple tv box located with sound bar and have tried them apart - have checked all software/firmware, reboot, power unplug etc - nothing seems to keep them connected. ANY and all suggestions on what I am missing to keep them connected is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Same. There has to be a way for the Apple TV remote to auto connect on power up. Very annoying to have two top of the line products (Apple & Bose) that don’t work well together. Makes me want to get rid of one or the other!
Anyone have a solution???
How do I keep from doing this step every time?
I got it!!
Follow the instructions here: https://support.bose.com/s/display-articles?language=en_US&productId=01t8c00000OydAjAAJ&articleId=ka08c000000ha1pAAA
Took me wayyyy to long to get here and this was hidden in a reddit thread. Cheers.
Me too. It disconnects and I have to restart after TV has been off. Seems rather silly.
Same problem for me. Any update?
Same problem here…
apple tv connected via hdmi to samsung tv. Tv speaker connected with bose 500 via cable. It wake tv and bose when i hit apple tv remote. In the past the apple tv remote controlled the bose 500 with Infrared and worked great for years. Not the remote does not work for sound and no settings changed! maybe a sw update did that??
Bluetooth connection with bose and apple tv is okay but does not connect bose 500 at switch on - so 2 remotes are needed! Not smart….
Hope someone find the issue and correct the sw
This solution works great but it bypasses the HDMI connection and only sends 2 channel stereo to the sound bar instead of Dolby Digital 5.1 up to Atmos. Been trying to figure this out so that I only have to use 1 remote for basic audio controls. I am using a Bose Soundbar 600.
This worked perfectly.
Only worked if you only have Apple TV.
Not yet. I just reconnect the Apple TV remote Bluetooth to the Bose speaker each time I turn on the TV. Pain in the rear, but that’s the best I could figure out.
Wont work for me….
Using Bose Soundbar 500
This worked great for volume.
After last update my TV on/off option won’t work with Apple TV remote?
any ideas?
pair my Bose sound bar to work with an Apple TV remote
