So I have an LG TV, Pioneer receiver, and a new Roku Ultra.
I was able to put in Pioneer and control the audio, but the TV power no longer functioned.
Has someone set it up to where the Roku remote could power on/off the TV *AND* control the volume on the receiver?
Thank you in advance.

I followed these instructions for my Roku Ultra. However, I am unable to type-in my surround sound receiver brand (Pioneer) in the standard menu settings (settings / remotes&devices / remotes / enhanced voice remote / set up remote for tv control). As a result, I haven’t been able to get these instructions to work for me.
Thanks for the post.
As stated previously in this thread, Roku device remotes do not support control over AVRs.
Thanks,
Danny
The previous responses in this topic indicated those individuals were able to control AVRs using the instructions provided in this topic. Am I understanding those responses correctly?
I believe it is not officially supported, but there are workarounds!
Do you have a workaround you could share? Using the instructions posted earlier in this topic, I was able to find the secret Roku menu, but it didn't result in me being able to control my Pioneer AVR, even though I toggled the secret menu setting to AVR... and even though some other posts here indicated that they were able to control their AVRs using these instructions. Any ideas?
I succeeded in this by not only Enabling Querying AVRs, but also disabling GetConnectedBrandInfo.
This finally allowed me to manually enter the brand of my receiver (an old yamaha). Of course, the prompts mentioned only tv, but since I changed the setting in the secret menu I knew we were really setting up an AVR.
Hope this helps!
I do not see an option to enter specific avr codes. I accessed the secret menu, enabled querying avr, returned to the remote setup screen, and nothing - to enter specific avr or codes. So, how exactly do you do this? Where are these codes and how are they specifically accessed? In the set up remote for TV control, it, STILL, only allows TV brands. So what gives? I even disabled GetConnectedBrandInfo as someone else in this thread suggested. Like to be in the light instead of in the dark. Thanks.
Thanks for the inquiry.
Please be aware that Roku remotes are only have the functionality to control the volume and power for TVs, and not for AVRs.
Thanks,
Danny
I struggled with this too... Roku remote should really be upgraded to allow control of AVR (basic functions like on/off, volume and may be input)... I have 2 roku devices (an ultra and a regular older version)... I have the harmony hub for one of them... it works fine most of the time but every now and then, one of the components does not fire up or something... for the other setup, I bought a side click remote for roku and that works great for basic functions to control my avr. I am thinking getting another sideclick remote as Harmony seems to be on life support in general...
