What the remote does on the TV

The Siri Remote picks a presentation, moves between pictures, and goes back. Nobody signs in on the TV.

Help · Sunday, Oct 4 · By Jack · 1 min read

When the TV turns on

A paired TV opens straight into its presentations. Nobody signs in, and nothing asks to continue.

  • One presentation: it opens straight into it. If it’s set to play by itself, it’s already playing.
  • Two or more: it shows a list of them, this week’s first. Swipe or press to move between them, and press the middle of the touch surface (or the centre button) to open one.
  • None yet: it says to add files, or to ask your ministry leader. Choose what it shows on Displays.

Inside a presentation

You see its pictures, each with its name. Press one to show it full screen.

  • Right goes to the next picture, left to the one before.
  • Back (the Back button, or Menu on older remotes) returns to the pictures, then to the list.

If the presentation is set to Automatically advance, it plays through by itself, round and round: each picture for the time set on its presentation. Right and left still skip.

This TV

To see which church the TV belongs to and whether it’s connected, hold the centre button on a picture full screen, or choose This TV on the list. Back closes it.

Unpair this TV is there too, behind a question. Only use it to start over: the TV goes back to its pairing screen and needs a new code. See Add a TV.

Good to know

  • What a TV shows is chosen on Displays, not on the TV. The remote only moves through what the TV was given.
  • If the Wi‑Fi drops, the TV keeps showing what it has. Changes arrive when it’s back.
  • Nothing on the TV ever shows an error to the room. If something needs attention, it says so on Displays.
