If I connect my fire stick to the receiver and I need to use one of the inputs on the receiver , can I use the firestick to control that (or get to that input?)

I have a tv with 2 hdmi
1 center with 2 extra hdmi
1 fire stick

I’m assuming I should connect center to tv and firestick to center?

I’m trying to make it so I just use one remote (preferably fire stick)

The extra input I need to control is security cams

I bought a Yamaha 5.1 system. Connected the speakers and plugged the bluray, firestick and camera respectively.

If I play the Blu-ray it works , but once I switch inputs to firestick then back to blu, the bluray player flicks on and off every few seconds.

This also happens with the camera doing the off and on .

If I start with cam it works fine but once I switch input, and back again, it blinks.

What I end up doing is unplugging the tv connect to the receiver to get it going again.

Any ideas what I’m doing wrong or what I set up wrong?

Sounds CEC related, see if you can find the "control device through HDMI" setting and turn it off.

Which device should i turn it off at, the tv itself or the bluray player?

One other thing I just noticed. If i have the receiver off, i can still switch inputs and they all work and switch fine.

Also, I noticed that when i move from bluray to tv, the tv gives a message that it's adjusting for UHD (my bluray is also UHD so i dunno).

Thanks.
