You can set up your Apple TV in just a few steps. In this practical tip, we will show you how to proceed and what you need to bear in mind.
Step 1: Unpack, connect and set up your Apple TV
In order to set up the Apple TV, you must of course first unpack it and connect it to the power.
- Included in the package is the Apple TV, a power cable, and the remote control that comes with it.
- You will need to purchase an HDMI cable separately. Note that you will need an HDMI 2.0 cable or higher for the Apple TV 4K.
- When the requirements are met, remove the film from the Apple TV and connect the device to the power. Then connect the Apple TV to your TV using the HDMI cable.
- Turn on the Apple TV and your TV to start the setup.
Step 2: Set up language, network and devices
After you have turned on the Apple TV, you can set your language.
- Navigate down with the Apple remote control and select “German”.
- Connect the Apple TV to your network. This is easiest if you already have an Apple device connected to the Wi-Fi. Then select the option “Set with device”.
- Turn on Bluetooth on the Apple device and connect to the Apple TV. When connected, all Apple credentials and network connection will be automatically applied.
- You can also set up your machine without an Apple device. To do this, select the “Configure manually” option.

- After the connection is established, log in with your Apple ID.
Step 3: Adjust settings
At the end of the setup, you can adjust more settings.
