Apple TV 4K Settings
23 replies
Hi Guys
Just Purchased the latest Apple TV to use with a beosound Theatre and was wondering if there are any specific settings I should be using as I'm new to the 4K game. Also when I had the theatre installed a puc cable was run to my comms cab, I take it this can be used so I can control the Apple TV with the beoremote?
It is possible to access the control center from a BROne with this workaround:
I use ATV4K Connected to a BV7-55 and have it controlled with the BROne with PUC as a “Beo4” product, but with at Theatre it should be even easier since both Theatre and ATV are BT connected
I have connected my BROne directly to the ATV 4K through BT so I have the ATV as a BT source in the Remote as well.
I switch to the ATV with the BROne in “Beo4” mode. ATV is mapped to a MyButton
Then I change source via List on BROne to ATV4 (BT), and I can use the INFO button as TV/Controlcenter (long press will open controlcenter), and the MENU button as Back button. The StandBy button will also bring up the Control center when BROne is directly connected to the ATV4
Pardon me, but what is: ‘a puc cable was run to my comms cab’ - what is a comms cab?
If the PUC cable was run to another device than the ATV (and just to that), this has no influenze on (PUC) controlling the ATV.
Probably - when the Theatre was installed - the installer meant to rely on CEC controlling of the ATV by just connecting it to the Theatre or to the LG-tv by a HDMI cable.
This mostly works fine.
A lot do it that way - personally I prefer the PUC method.
In both cases it is controlled with the Beoremote.

Thanks for the tips, in terms of the comms cab I have a cupboard where all of my AV equipment is housed, from there my sky q box is cabled via hdmi to the theatre. I also have a spare HDMI which I'm going the use to connect the Apple TV but also the installer also ran a PUC IR blaster again connected to the theatre which my dealer advised could be used to control certain devices, is this not the case and should I be using CEC instead?
According to Apple, Control Centre is the settings menu top right here:

If you have a spare PUC/IR Blaster, my advice would be to use that with the ATV, once it is there……..assuming that the spare HDMI cable is connected to the Theatre, of course.
If that however, is connected to the tv, you only have CEC controlling as an option (which may work fine).

I never noticed this on my ATV as I opnly use it with the BR1.
You are right, this is useful and it's for me a "nice to have" feature if it could be added in the PUC commands.
