ATV 4K - Line of Sight or Radio Signal

The specs for the 4K ATV list both Bluetooth and IR. What I want to know is does the ATV required the normal line of sight between the remote and the ATV box? I would like to put the ATV out of in a cabinet or behind my TV and still use the remote - but the specs don't tell me if that is possible.

The Appel TV Siri remote uses Bluetooth to send commands to the Apple TV so you are safe to put it in a cabinet or behind the TV. The infrared sensor on the front of the remote is for use with accessory devices.
