While TV is connected (HDMI device), volume button work as volume mute only. What about to change (as setting?) it to send pause too to connected device? So, when I push button, movie will paused (if device / device input support it) and volume will be mutted.

Nice thought, but ...
This is an arc connection, not a full hdmi connection.
Even if it were a full hdmi connection, do you know of any other hdmi connected device that can do this?
That's not intended as just a flippant comment, maybe there is such a device, I just don't know of any.
 
If I know, it is not about HDMI-ARC, but HDMI-CEC and implementation of bi-directionall communication. So, not only turn off command from audio receiver to TV can be sent, but pause too (and then is on HDMI/TV target device, what happen). It is same as TV send to audio device command to turn off, only opposite direction. In Wiim settings I can see CEC suport, so CEC is supported (but don't know, on which level). If I understand, now is only question, what commands can be supported. If I know, this is common function in CEC devices, maybe not pause, but turn off deffinitly.
