When I’m in an app such as Netflix I have to keep pressing Menu on the Apple TV 4K Siri remote to back out until I’m at the ATV Home screen. Then I can select Settings. I do this when I need to change where the audio will output. There has to be a shortcut to get to Settings. I’ve searched the internet but have not found anything. Anyone knows a shortcut?

You can use the voice control to tell it which settings screen you want to go to, or you can double press the TV button to bring up an app switcher to change between recent apps.

Well hallelujah! That worked! I should I have thought to tell Siri to take me there. Thanks!

If you so choose you can go to:
Settings
Remotes & Devices
Change Home Button from TV App To Home Screen.
Mine is set like this & I much prefer it. One touch of the Home Button returns you to home screen.
As you have already found out you can use siri also.

Another great suggestion! Thanks.
