1.Pairing is a very simple process, and your Apple TV and DualShock 4 should remember your pairing settings for future sessions. The first thing you’ll need to do is put your controller into pairing mode.

2.To do this, press and hold both the Share and PS buttons on your controller at the same time until the LED indicator starts flashing. (It’s visible on the rear of the controller and touchpad on later models.) Once you see the flashing light, you have 20 seconds to pair your controller before it goes back into sleep mode.

3.On the Apple TV, go to Settings > Remotes and Devices > Bluetooth. At the top of the screen under “My Devices,” you’ll see a list of devices that you’ve already paired. Below this under “Other Devices,” you should see your DualShock 4 controller listed.

4.Select the DualShock 4 and wait for pairing to complete. Once the lights on the back (or front) of the DualShock 4 stop flashing and the Apple TV reports that the controller is “Connected,” then you are ready to start playing some games.

5.You can charge your controller while you play using a micro USB connection plugged into any 5V USB outlet. You don’t have to use the cable that came with your controller. Remember that if you plug the controller into a PS4, it will automatically pair with that console (and disconnect from the Apple TV).

You can manually unpair your controller by going to the Bluetooth menu and selecting your DualShock 4 followed by “Unpair Device.”
