Hi Wendy,

That should be correct, but I assume it has other ports, Component and Composit 
but as long as it is set to HDMI 1 and there is only 1 HDMI port it should be 
fine.

Hi Sieghard,

Thanks so much for the information.  My particular tv has only one HDMI port so 
I would be looking for just HDMI 1, right?

If you're setting up Apple TV for the first time: 
Follow these steps:
1.  Connect the HDMI cable from your TV or receiver to your Apple TV. 
2.  Make sure that your TV is set to the correct input for your Apple TV. 
3.  Plug in your Apple TV power cable. 
4.  Wait about one minute. You should hear a voice prompting you to press the 
lower right button (Play/Pause) on your Apple TV remote to turn on VoiceOver. 
5.  Select your language.  If VoiceOver is turned off: 

Use your Apple TV remote and follow the steps for your Apple TV model. 
1. To return to the main menu, press Menu repeatedly until you hear a stop 
sound. 
2.  Press Down once. 
3.  Press Right repeatedly until you hear a stop sound. Settings should be 
highlighted. If you changed the layout of the main menu, you might not have 
Settings here. Use the arrow buttons on your remote to highlight Settings.Press 
Right repeatedly until you hear a stop sound. Settings should be highlighted. 
If you changed the layout of the main menu, you might not have Settings here. 
Use the arrow buttons on your remote to highlight Settings. 
4.  Press Select twice.  
5.  Press Down repeatedly until you hear a stop sound.  
6.  Press Up four times. Accessibility should be highlighted. 
7.  Press Select twice. VoiceOver should turn on and begin reading the content 
on your Apple TV screen. 

The following link shows you how to use the Apple remote, found on the Apple 
support page:

Hi Wendy,

First of all, you do have to make sure you have the correct input selected on 
your TV because if you don't, then Voiceover may give you a prompt to turn it 
on and you would never know. Below is a link to an Apple support article about 
how to turn on Voiceover for the first time:

https://support.apple.com/en-mu/HT202149

If you are not sure you have selected the correct input, you might need a 
sighted person to check this and to practice with you as to how you can 
reliable change from, for example, HDMI 1 to HDMI 2.


Regards,
Sieghard

I recently got an apple tv.  I tried to set it up yesterday and could not
get voice over to come on.  I have the apple tv connected to the tv with the
HDMI cable.  I tried to change my tv to the HDMI source, but I was not sure

voice over will come on?  Which button is menu the one on the right or left?
Does anyone have any step by step instructions on how to set this up?
Thanks for any help on this.
