Using an Apple TV remote to control volume on a non-CEC receiver

I'm trying to use my Apple TV remote to control a Yamaha receiver. It is an older receiver, so audio goes from the TV to receiver via an RCA cable. As such, the Apple TV cannot detect the receiver over CEC like with a new receiver with HDMI switching. Is there a way to program the remote to change the receiver volume over IR? I haven't been able to figure it out, wanted to know if there was something I was missing.

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 15

Yes, the Siri Remote can send IR signals to the receiver for Volume Control. (The software remote on iPhone cannot.)

Control your TV or receiver with your Apple TV Remote - Apple Support

↳ Program your remote for volume On your Apple TV, go to Settings﹥Remotes and Devices﹥Volume Control﹥. Instead of Auto, try to set Receiver via IR, or if that doesn’t work, select Learn New Device.

Without any specifics please begin with Control your TV or receiver with your Siri Remote or Apple TV Remote and if that does not work, please try If your Apple TV remote isn’t working
