Great thread and overview, thanks for that!

For me it works to control volume with my SiriRemote (1st generation, from AppleTV 4 (HD) ) and my Beovision7-40 MK5 also switches on after a couple of seconds.

However, one question on that switching on: how to make sure my Beovision does not switch on in the 'TV' function, but in the 'DTV' function, to which my AppleTV is connected via HDMI? Are these defaults to be set based on preference? Now I still need to use Apple and B&O remotes to get started.

Thanks!

Welcome to Beoworld!

I don't have a BV7, but from looking at the manual I think that you need to go into the CONNECTIONS menu, find the corresponding hdmi input and change AUTO SELECTION to ON.

But it's a bit of a guess!

Thanks for your reply Guy!

Put it to ON does not seem to do the trick, still going to TV first.

Tried to assign the HDMI A with the AppleTV to the 'TV' button as a work around, as that seems to be the default, but somehow can't seem to get sounds. Seems I can only assign AppleTV to DTV/DTV2?

In order to use TV, did you disable the TUNER in the TUNER SETUP menu?

Also, I see in the CONNECTIONS menu that  that there is a SOUND INPUT option with each source.  Did you set this to the appropriate hdmi input?

It keeps me puzzled. Yes, have switched the tuner off, assigning it to the TV button seems to work and have the right HDMI A selected.

What I discovered meanwhile is that it has to do with the order of switching on devices. I need to switch of all devices. In case I wake up the ATV with its Siri remote also the BV switches on (to TV, which is the ATV), however, does not respond to the volume buttons of neither my Beo4 nor the Siri remote and sound is not audible in any way. If I do it the other way around with both devices off, switching on the BV with the Beo4 and than the ATV with the Siri remote it works.

It seems as if that was not the case when I had it connected to DTV. However now chanching it back does not solve the issue, keep having problems with the order and then it keeps switching to TV first, not automatically to DTV, which is the problem I was trying to solve...

Any thoughts or advice is very much appreciated, thanks a million!

Can you try to use an other HDMI port on the TVto see if the problem persist?

I am glad that madskp has posted because I was running out of ideas!  The only other thing that I would have suggested was madskp's suggestion about trying all the other hdmi sockets because they do have slightly different specifications in certain setups (eg hdmi matrix).  Don't forget to change all the relevant setting in the CONNECTIONS menu as you swap the hmdi, making sure that the AUTO SELECTION and SOUND INPUT are correct.  You might just find an option that works!

I am revisiting this thread because Apple have now brought out a '2nd generation' Siri remote: 

I handed my Siri2 remote back to UPS today. 3 reasons were decisive. On one hand, this remote can not be used for Bang & Olufsen TVs either, because it is not able to read or transmit the frequency of the original B&O remote. The first AppleTV 4 remote control (without a white ring) could still do that. As a result, numerous buttons on the Siri2-Remote have no function for my setup. Second: I am annoyed by the very loud clicking noise of the buttons. the thickness of the new remote control creates enough volume inside to make it sound like a dog clicker. After all, I didn't like the finish that much and the hard edges - not a flattering touch. The lack of remote gaming sensors compared to the predecessor was not relevant to me - but ultimately the added value I expected for upgrading my existing Apple TV 4K has shrunk so much that Siri2 had to leave the house.
