如何将iPhone或iPad用作Apple TV遥控器

The Apple TV remote can easily get lost in between the couch cushions, but thanks to the Apple TV Remote app for iPhone and iPad, you’ll always have a backup ready and waiting. Here’s how to set up the app and begin using your iOS device as an Apple TV remote.

Apple TV遥控器很容易迷失在沙发垫之间，但是由于iPhone和iPad的Apple TV Remote应用程序使您始终可以随时准备备份。 以下是设置应用程序并开始将iOS设备用作Apple TV遥控器的方法。

While the new remote for the Apple TV 4 is leaps and bounds above the previous generation version, it can still be somewhat cumbersome to use. The trackpad can be a bit finicky at times and the hunt-and-peck style of typing is really annoying, although Siri dictation makes that a bit easier.

尽管Apple TV 4的新遥控器比上一代版本有了跨越式的发展，但使用起来仍然有些麻烦。 触控板有时可能有点挑剔，打字和打字的风格实在令人讨厌，尽管Siri的指示使操作变得简单一些。

The good news is that the iOS app comes with everything that the Apple TV 4 remote has and more, including a built-in keyboard for typing in usernames, passwords, and search terms. The app also works with previous-generation Apple TV models, but you obviously won’t get the Siri support that the Apple TV 4 has. In any case, here’s how to set up the Apple TV remote app on your iOS device.

好消息是，iOS应用程序随附了Apple TV 4遥控器所具有的所有功能以及更多功能，其中包括用于输入用户名，密码和搜索词的内置键盘。 该应用程序还可以与上一代Apple TV型号一起使用，但是显然您将无法获得Apple TV 4的Siri支持。 无论如何，这是在iOS设备上设置Apple TV远程应用程序的方法。

Start by downloading and installing Apple TV Remote from the App Store if you haven’t already.

如果尚未从App Store下载并安装Apple TV Remote ，请先进行安装。

Once it’s downloaded onto your device, open it up and tap on “Add Apple TV”.

将其下载到您的设备后，将其打开并点击“添加Apple TV”。

Select the Apple TV that you want to use with your iPhone or iPad.

选择要与iPhone或iPad一起使用的Apple TV。

A four-digit code will appear on your television screen. Enter in this number into the app.

电视屏幕上将出现一个四位数的代码。 在应用程序中输入此号码。

After that, your iOS device will be paired with your Apple TV and you can immediately begin to control the set-top box using your mobile device. The app is pretty basic, but it has everything that you’d want, including the trackpad, Home button, Menu button, Play/Pause button, and the Siri button. What it doesn’t have, though, are the dedicated volume buttons.

之后，您的iOS设备将与Apple TV配对，您可以立即开始使用移动设备控制机顶盒。 该应用程序非常基本，但是具有您想要的所有内容，包括触控板，“主页”按钮，“菜单”按钮，“播放/暂停”按钮和“ Siri”按钮。 但是，它没有专用的音量按钮。

If you have an HDMI-CEC setup setup and have the volume control set up with the Apple TV remote, the physical volume bottoms on your iOS device can control the volume of your televisions speakers. Otherwise, the volume buttons on your iPhone or iPad won’t do this, unfortunately.

如果您具有HDMI-CEC设置程序，并且使用Apple TV遥控器设置了音量控制，则iOS设备上的物理音量底部可以控制电视扬声器的音量。 否则，不幸的是，iPhone或iPad上的音量按钮将无法执行此操作。

The app does have a built-in keyboard, though, so whenever the selector pops into any text box on the Apple TV, the keyboard in the app will automatically appear, along with a text box so that you can what you’re typing without having to look up at your TV while you do so.

但是，该应用程序确实具有内置键盘，因此，每当选择器弹出到Apple TV上的任何文本框中时，该应用程序中的键盘都会自动显示，并带有一个文本框，这样您就可以不用键入内容这样做时必须抬头看电视。

Other than that, that’s pretty much all there is to the Apple TV remote app. Again, it’s pretty basic and there’s not much to it, but that’s probably a good thing considering any more features could potentially bog down the experience.

除此之外，Apple TV远程应用程序几乎包含了所有内容。 再说一次，这是非常基本的，没有太多的事情，但是考虑到更多的功能可能会阻碍体验，那可能是一件好事。
