所以我刚拿到我闪亮的新Apple TV 4K,我赶紧设置它,这样我就可以在我的 4K 电视上观看那些新的 4K HDR电影!(HDR)它也比我拒绝升级的第二代Apple TV更快更好,直到Apple开始支持 4K。
在本文中,我将介绍设置新Apple TV 4K的所有步骤,以便您可以开始享受新的超高清内容。第一步是将其插入,使用HDMI电缆将其连接到电视,然后使用以太网电缆将其连接到(Ethernet)Internet。您肯定会希望通过无线使用有线电缆,因为流式传输 4K 内容将需要更多带宽。
设置 Apple TV 4K
当您打开电视并将输入源更改为Apple TV 4K 的(Apple)HDMI连接时,您应该会看到一条有关如何将遥控器与Apple TV 4K 配对的消息。
根据说明,您应该同时按住菜单(Menu)和+按钮,但我所做的只是单击顶部的大按钮几次并连接。
接下来,您需要选择要用于设备的语言。之后,您需要选择地区。它应该会根据您的 IP 地址自动选择您所在的国家/地区。
在以下屏幕上,您可以选择是否使用Siri 和听写(Siri and Dictation)(Siri and Dictation)。这是设备的定义功能之一,因此如果您不启用此功能,您将无法获得Apple TV 4K 的全部优势。
接下来,系统会询问您是要手动设置设备还是通过 iPhone 或 iPad 设置设备。如果您已经拥有设备,使用设备会简单得多,因此请选择“使用设备设置”( Setup with Device)。手动方法将要求您输入或口述您的Apple ID和密码。
在下一个屏幕上,它将告诉您如何将 iPhone 或 iPad 连接到Apple TV 4K,以便自动设置。您必须解锁手机,将其连接到WiFi,启用蓝牙(Bluetooth),然后将其靠近Apple TV 4K。
当你这样做时,一个弹出对话框将自动显示在你的设备上,并带有一个大的设置(Set Up)按钮。点击它,它将使用您的Apple ID帐户或多个帐户自动设置Apple TV 。
在电视上,您会看到一条消息,指出正在设置设备。这一步对我来说需要几分钟,所以你必须耐心等待。
设置过程完成后,系统会询问您是否在首次购买后需要密码才能进行其他购买。
接下来,如果您订阅了有线电视,则需要登录您的电视提供商。如果没有,您现在可以跳过此步骤。
之后,系统会要求您启用或禁用Apple TV 上的定位服务。我不确定这在Apple TV 这样的设备上有多有用,但我只是继续启用它。
接下来,您可以选择是否要为Apple TV 下载一些 4K 高清视频屏保。我买了 64 GB 版本,所以我启用了它,因为它在 4K 电视上看起来很漂亮。
最后,系统会询问您是否要在设备上启用分析。这主要是为了让Apple可以查看设备的使用情况并获取有关错误和崩溃的信息。
就是这样!现在您应该看到带有App Store、电视应用、音乐应用等的Apple TV OS 主界面。
我很快就会写更多关于如何使用Apple TV 4K 的文章,但现在,请坐下来,放松一下,在您的新Apple TV上欣赏 4K 电影!
How to Setup Apple TV 4K for the First Time
So I јust got my shiny new Apple TV 4K and I rushed to sеt it up as quickly аs possiblе so I could watch those new 4K HDR movies on my 4K ΤV! It’s also way faster and better than the 2nd generation Apple TV that I refused to upgradе until Apple movеd to support 4K.
In this article, I’m going to go over all the steps to set up your new Apple TV 4K so that you can start enjoying the new super high-definition content. The first step is to plug it in, connect it to your TV using an HDMI cable and connect it to the Internet using an Ethernet cable. You’ll definitely want to use a wired cable over wireless since streaming 4K content will require more bandwidth.
Setup Apple TV 4K
When you turn on your TV and change the input source to the HDMI connection for the Apple TV 4K, you should see a message on how to pair your remote with the Apple TV 4K.
According to the instructions, you’re supposed to press and hold the Menu and + buttons at the same time, but all I did was click the big button at the top a couple of times and it connected.
Next, you’ll need to choose the language you want to use for the device. After that, you’ll need to choose the region. It should automatically select the country you are in based on your IP address.
On the following screen, you can choose whether or not to use Siri and Dictation. This is one of the defining features of the devices, so if you don’t enable this, you will not be getting the full benefit of the Apple TV 4K.
Next, you’ll be asked if you want to set up the device manually or via an iPhone or iPad. It’s much simpler to use a device if you already have one, so select Setup with Device. The manual method will require you to type or dictate your Apple ID and password.
On the next screen, it will tell you how to connect your iPhone or iPad to the Apple TV 4K so that it can be set up automatically. You’ll have to unlock your phone, connect it to WiFi, enable Bluetooth, and then bring it close to the Apple TV 4K.
When you do that, a popup dialog will automatically show up on your device with a big Set Up button. Tap on that and it will set up the Apple TV automatically with your Apple ID account or accounts.
On the TV, you’ll see a message stating that the device is being set up. This step took a few minutes for me, so you’ll have to be patient.
Once the setup procedure has been completed, you’ll be asked if you want to require a password for additional purchases after making an initial purchase.
Next, you’ll want to sign in to your TV provider if you have a cable subscription. If not, you can just skip this step for now.
After this, you’ll be asked to enable or disable location services on your Apple TV. I’m not sure how useful this is on a device like the Apple TV, but I just went ahead and enabled it.
Next, you can choose whether or not you want to download some 4K HD video screensavers for your Apple TV. I bought the 64 GB version, so I enabled this since it looks gorgeous on the 4K TV.
Finally, you’ll be asked if you want to enable analytics on the device or not. This is mostly so that Apple can see how the device is being used and to get information about errors and crashes.
That’s about it! Now you should see the main Apple TV OS interface with the App Store, TV app, music app, etc.
I’ll be writing more articles on how to use the Apple TV 4K soon, but for now, sit back, relax and enjoy a 4K movie on your new Apple TV!
