Solved! Can the Pioneer vsx-532 be turned on and off by my TCL tv?

I recently got this new Pioneer to replace a Yamaha tuner. That one had HDMI in and out, but not an ARC option. So, I decided to get a new receiver to utilize smart tv audio at full range, instead of using the Optical out. The optical however, did allow my new TCL tv to control the volume as well as the power. So far, the Pioneer is only giving me control over the volume. There does not seem to be many settings on either device, am I over looking one that would allow this, or am I better off switching back to Yamaha?
 
Solution
OK let keep things straight:

HDMI ARC allows high bandwidth audio to receiver.

HDMI CEC allows (if receiver is CEC capable and vol control implemented) control of volume from TV remote.

Optical by itself does no vol control.
