Just upgraded our 20-year-old avr with a Denon avr-S570BT. I have searched for hours to try to find an answer to why I cannot get it to pair with our Genie RC73 remote. The set up is the genie runs to the avr via HDMI in the SAT port, then from the avr to the tv via the monitor port to the HDMI arc
