Apple TV

My apple TV is unresponsive and I cannot go to settings to do a factory reset. And the remote option for that is also not working. Batteries are new in remote.

It does show icons on the tv but I cannot navigate to them with the remote.

I did try the pairing thing and even that was unreponsive.

Note that you should do all three steps (not just step 2):
