Try covering the little black area at the front of the remote and you’ll see what I mean. At least in my case the volume buttons stop working.
- billyhoffman 7y agoDepends on your TV. The IR is a fallback but it can also do volume over CEC: https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.howtogeek.com/263008/how-to-change-the-volume-of-your-tv-using-the-apple-tv-siri-remote/amp/ https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.howtogeek.com/263008/how-to...
- clairity 7y agoyah, the volume buttons still work through the apple tv to the receiver via radio (for me).
- bouke 7y agoThe remote can be configured for either CEC or IR, see also: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205225#siriappletv https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT205225#siriappletv. The only problem happens when not playing from the AppleTV and you use the volume buttons. It’ll switch inputs on the TV/receiver to the AppleTV. So it’s no longer an universal volume control, which can confuse family members as they have to remember which input the whole setup is in.
