I just got a new Onkyo receiver (TX-NR6050) to replace my Onkyo TX-SR353. The receiver is connected to an LG TV through eARC. My Fios Remote turns on and off the TV and the input button also controls the TV input. As for the receiver, the Fios remote controls volume, mute, channels and power. Because there is a delay in the volume coming through when the receiver is turned off and then on, I'd prefer that it only control volume, channels, and mute on the receiver, but not power, and I would leave the receiver on all the time. That's what it did with my SR353, but I have no recollection as to how I set it up that way. I tried setup again for the new receiver, but it didn't let me choose the functions I wanted to control. Any help would be appreciated - thanks.

My first thought is just don't use the power button on the Fios remote. You could also try disabling this:
Main Menu > Settings > Audio & Video > Video Settings > TV Input Control
but it may disable too much. You could also try disabling CEC control for power in the receivers menu if possible.
There is no control over what the Fios remote controls other than what device you have it setup for. Maybe setting it up for a different Onkyo receiver would work.
That makes sense - thanks. I'll check out the TV input control and see what happens. Wish I remembered how I got it to work on my last receiver - I have to think it was a receiver setting.

I'd be willing to bet there is a setting in the receiver menu too.
I was looking for a setting but no luck yet. Thanks!

I know on my Denon receiver there is an option to have power controlled by CEC . That's what you need to find.
Thanks - I''ll give it a try this weekend.
