Question about control via CEC (alien.top)

Hello All, so I’ve got a first gen AppleTV 4K that I’ve been using for a little while, I noticed that on my iPhone 14+ Home Screen that I have volume controls for my audio receiver and they work, but only when my TV is on as well. Apple TV plugs into receiver with HDMI, then HDMI out of receiver to the TV. Sometimes when I am listening to airplay music only I turn the TV off, trying to save electricity.

When I do that the volume controls via CEC stop working. Anyone have any idea how I can have the volume controls still work when the TV is powered off? I’m pretty new to the Apple TV system, but not a new iPhone user. Been using them since 2009.

We normally AirPlay off the iPad, but even those volume controls don’t always work.
