Use other remotes to control Apple TV
You can use a supported TV or receiver remote, a network-based remote for home-control systems, or an infrared remote (commonly known as a universal remote) to control Apple TV.
If your TV or receiver supports HDMI-CEC, Apple TV uses the HDMI connection to allow it to be controlled by your TV or receiver remote. For more information, see the Apple Support article Control your TV or receiver with your Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote.
A network-based remote sends signals to Apple TV through a network so the remote doesn’t have to be pointed directly at Apple TV.
To use an infrared remote, you need to let it learn the signals that the Siri Remote generates.
