Issue controlling volume on my audio receiver with remote

My fios box is connected to a new LG TV and an older Marantz SR880 receiver (HDMI cable from the fios box to the TV, then an optical cable out from the TV to the optical port on the receiver). All of this works fine. Went through the automatic process of connecting the fios remote, and got the message the the remote is successfully connected to the LG TV and the Marantz receiver. But the volume buttons don't change the volume on the receiver. But I think it is paired properly, because the Mute button does work. Any thoughts?

Thanks

Go to Menu > Settings > Voice control > Fios TV Voice Remote > Program Voice Remote > Manual Setup

Select your TV or Receiver Brand and Model and follow the steps,
You will see a “Success” message in the top right of the TV screen when the setup is complete. You will see an audio device option, follow through with that also. You may have to try more than one option that turns the receiver on and off before you get the right one.
