It's in the remote, for example, I control the volume on my AVR via IR from the Apple TV remote control.


Identify your Apple TV remote - Apple Support


From the link above:


Siri Remote (2nd generation) or Apple TV Remote (2nd generation)


This remote ships with Apple TV 4K (2nd generation).* It features an aluminum silver casing and a touch-enabled clickpad for navigation. The remote uses Bluetooth 5.0 to communicate with Apple TV 4K and "IR technology to control other devices".
