You can also use an optical digital audio cable to connect Apple TV to a receiver
for audio.
Important: Before you connect Apple TV to a power outlet, carefully read
these installation instructions and the safety information in the included
Important Product Information Guide.

Problem? No Problem.

Most problems with Apple TV can be solved quickly by following the advice
in this chapter. For additional tips and troubleshooting information, see the
Apple TV Support page at www.apple.com/support/appletv.
Troubleshooting
If you have a problem with Apple TV, there’s usually a quick and simple solution.
First, make sure:
ÂÂ The cables between Apple TV and your TV are pushed in all the way.
ÂÂ The power cords for Apple TV and your TV are securely connected to a working
power source.
ÂÂ Your TV is turned on and set to the correct input.
ÂÂ 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.
ÂÂ 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
ÂÂ Point the remote directly at Apple TV.
ÂÂ If you paired Apple TV with an Apple Remote, make sure you’re using the
paired remote.
26
Chapter 4   Problem? No Problem.
ÂÂ If the Apple TV status light flashes once when you press buttons on the paired
remote, the problem isn’t with the remote. See “If you can see a picture but
Apple TV isn’t responding” on page 28.
ÂÂ If you’re using an unpaired remote, the Apple TV status light flashes three times.
ÂÂ If you paired Apple TV with an Apple Remote and you can’t find the paired
remote, set Apple TV to work with any Apple Remote by holding down Menu
and Left for 6 seconds on another remote.
ÂÂ Make sure the front of Apple TV isn’t blocked.
ÂÂ If Apple TV displays a picture of a remote and a warning symbol (·), you need
to replace the battery in the remote. See “Changing the Remote Battery” on
page 23.
If Apple TV can’t access the network
ÂÂ Check the IP address Apple TV is using. If it starts with 169.x.x.x, the router or
base station may not be configured properly. Check to see if DHCP access is
available, or configure Apple TV with a manual IP address.
ÂÂ Check for any obstructions, and adjust the location of the base station or
Apple TV.
ÂÂ If security is enabled on the network, temporarily disable it on the base station
and try connecting again.
ÂÂ Apple TV cannot connect to a wireless network that contains high (extended)
ASCII or double-byte (Unicode) characters (such as Japanese, Korean, or
Chinese) in the name or password.
ÂÂ If your network has security enabled, make sure you enter the correct password.

NOTICE: Failure to follow these care and cleaning instructions could result in
damage to Apple TV or other property.
Using Connectors and Ports
Never force a connector into a port. Check for obstructions on the port. If the

Make sure that the connector matches the port and that you have positioned
the connector correctly in relation to the port.

Operate Apple TV in a place where the temperature is always between 0º and
40º C (32º to 104º F).
Keeping the Outside of Apple TV Clean
