Can’t turn off tv with Apple TV remote

My Apple TV remote will adjust the volume but will not turn tv on and off. When I push the power button, the Apple TV turns off but the actual tv does not. Same with turning it on. I’ve repaired the remote if that matters. My other tv that I have an Apple TV on works just fine with the remote. The tv in question is a scepter brand. Any help is appreciated. Please explain in simple terms.

Apple TV 4K, tvOS 18

Check that HDMI control is enabled on the Apple TV. Go to Settings > Remotes and Devices and under 'Home Cinema Control' check that it is set to 'On'.

You may also need to ensure that HDMI control is enabled on the TV.
