How does Apple TV work? From smartphone to TV

With the Apple TV, you can stream videos, music, or movies from your Apple mobile products or Mac to your TV. The Apple TV is a so-called set-top box that you connect to your TV via an HDMI cable.

How the Apple TV works

In order to use the Apple TV, you need to connect it to the Wi-Fi in your local network. You can also stream any content from your iPhone or iPad to your TV via Airplay. But before that is possible, you need to set up the box.

1. Connect the Apple TV to your TV with an HDMI cable.
2. To connect the box to the Internet, you can either use an Ethernet cable or connect via WLAN.
3. Turn on your TV and switch to the input to which you have connected the Apple TV.
4. With the enclosed remote condition, you can now navigate through the displayed image. If this does not connect, press the menu button and the volume up button for about five seconds.
5. Then follow the instructions to set up the box. During the configuration, you usually already establish a connection with an iOS device.
6. You can access movies and series directly via various apps from streaming providers such as Netflix Sky and more. Dafür fallen gegebenenfalls Kosten für das Abonnement an, wenn Sie noch kein Konto bei den Anbietern haben.

Über die Menü-Taste können Sie auf den vorherigen Bildschirm zurückkehren. Sollten sich Ihr mobiles Gerät nicht mit dem Apple TV verbinden, sollten Sie die Geräte nochmal an- und ausschalten.
