How to power on/off receiver and TV with Siri remote gen 3 using IR

I purchased the latest Apple TV which comes with the gen 3 Siri remote. From what I can tell, the Siri remote should be able to power on and off a receiver and TV via IR since mine do not have HDMI CEC or ARC. However, I cannot figure out how to do this.

Is it still possible to have the basic power on/off functionality on the receiver and TV with the Siri remote?
