Troubleshooting
If you have a problem with Apple TV, there’s usually a quick and simple solution.
First, make sure:
 The cables between Apple TV and your TV are pushed in all the way.
 The power cords for Apple TV and your TV are securely connected to a working
power source.
 Your TV is turned on and set to the correct input.
 Apple TV is connected to your network. Go to the Settings menu on Apple TV,
select Network, and see if Apple TV has an IP address.
 Your network and Internet connections are on and working properly.
If you still have trouble, try resetting your equipment by disconnecting Apple TV,
your TV, your wireless networking equipment or base station, and your router
from the power outlet. Wait 30 seconds, and then reconnect everything.
If the remote isn’t working
 Point the remote directly at Apple TV.
 If you paired Apple TV with an Apple Remote, make sure you’re using the
paired remote.
