using roku remote to control volume through pioneer lx105 elite receiver

I have a Pioneer elite vsx lx 105 receiver hooked to my Samsung tv.  The Roku stick is in the HDMI port for streaming on the Pioneer.  It all works fine but I cannot control volume or muting from the Roku remote anymore.  I turn on power with the remote and when i hit the home button it engages the receiver but all volume and muting has to be done with the receiver remote.

There was a post that suggested hitting the home button 5x, then FF, DOWN, REWIND, DOWN, FF to get to a menu which then suggested ;

choose RF remote menu

choose IR transmit menu

choose Enable Querying AVRs (instead of TVs)

Sadly, that did not do anything for my set up.  Are there any other suggestions for allowing the Roku remote to control the volume/mute coming through an AVR like my Pioneer?

    Did you finish by reprogramming the remote for tv but search for Pioneer instead under brands? 

     

    If your Pioneer has CEC feature and it's turn on, you go into Roku settings instead of choosing Tv setup while programming your tv chose CEC setup and follow prompts. When it comes to CEC, it doesn't care if its a TV or AVR, nor what brand it is. Just if the CEC feature is present.
