Q: Faulty Apple TV ?

Just opened the Apple TV and cannot set up because remote wont respond. Stuck on "choose language" perhaps it came with a bad remote?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.


    Your Apple TV may have become paired with another remote. Hold the remote close to and pointed at the Apple TV, hold down the menu and Rewind buttons together for 6 seconds or until you see a broken chain icon on screen.

     

    If that doesn't help, yes you may have a faulty remote.
