If setup properly, your TV remote will talk via IR to the Television, which will send the command over the HDMI cable to the appleTV.Īnd at the same time power and volume commands will go from the aTV remote via bluetooth to the aTV, and then over HDMI to the TV or AV Receiver. The previous parts of this thread are about the aTV 4, which uses HDMI-CEC. The IR commands recorded into your Samsung remote were recorded using only one code, and you can't change it Control your Samsung SmartTV 'There is a profound and enduring beauty in simplicity, in clarity, in efficiency in this Remote.' The simplified Remote for your Samsung TV. The apple branded remotes can change their code. If you find another '98' remote they would both work.

the remote always sends the code since it doesn't know if it's been paired or not.

The remotes have a random changeable code 0 to 255, when you hit a button it sends that code along with the command so 'play 98.' If you receiver has been paired with a remote, then it only listens if the code matches. On the aTV 2, (and all apple IR remotes) pairing causes the receiver to only listen to certain remotes.

Atv 2 & 4 handle this completely differently
