is there a way to turn the television off with the appletv remote??

I can turn on the television my appletv 4k is attached to with the appletv remote and I can turn off the apple tv with the remote, but the television remains on and I have to use the television remote to turn it off. Is there a way to get the appletv remote to turnoff both the appletv and then the television??

Thanks for help

Your Siri remote should have auto-detected your TV, so the set is turned on and off when you wake/sleep Apple TV. If this did not occur, you may need to adjust your HDMI-CEC settings (assuming your tv is compatible). See the instructions below.


Control your TV or receiver with your Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote
