My Apple remote was working perfectly to turn on tv, adjust volume, and turn off Apple TV and tv. Now when I push “sleep” on remote in turns off Apple TV but doesn’t turn off tv completely. Ideas?

Apple TV remote will not completely shut off power to Tv anymore. Volume works, turns tv on- screen goes dark but not off. Ideas?

Hello I have the exact same issue and restarting did nothing. No changes to any settings on TV or AppleTV but just stopped working. When I try and turn the setting on it says “System Control You can’t use system control with this configuration”. Please advise. Thank you.
