I am only guessing, but yeah. It won't lower the volume if I am in the other room. You can still see the Apple TV light blinking (since it uses Bluetooth) but the tv-light won't blink unless the remote is used in the same room with no (massive) obstruction in between. Which I am pretty impressed over, but then again I've only recently started to look into the TV-space media. I've had 2009: Apple Mini with XBMC and rTorrent 2011: Roku with a harddrive 2015: Chromecast So far the Apple Mini was awesome but Apple TV kickass.
