How to power up amp when the tv is powered up Samsung 4k tv Yamaha RX-V2085

OK the RX-V2085 is a receiver not an amp and it makes a difference to your question.

With a plain amp, you can often use a smart power strip, it senses TV on, sends electricity to amp. Receivers however, they are designed to be plugged in and receiving electricity at all times, so to allow your remote to function.

Next question to you is, so you never use the receiver for audio only?

This guy use a universal remote with macro function so I can do both, TV+Receiver, or Receiver only.

If you connect the receiver to the TV with HDMI-ARC and turn on CEC in the TV that may work.
