    SOLVED!!!

    Sequence that worked -

    9-8-1 to reset remote

    allowed system to pair to TV - worked as expected

    When asked to pair to Panasonic - I let it start (NOT SKIP - that never worked) but did not enter Panasonic when asked what device it was.

    While screen asking what sound device I wanted to pair was being displayed, I pressed SETUP button, then entered code from website for my model Panasonic and Pressed OK

    Pressed EXIT from setup screen

    TV power button turns TV on/off

    ALL power button turns both devices on/off! - channel change works. Volume change works! 

    I assume my contour box does NOT turn off so I set contour box display to off. 

    Life is good!

    Key was never letting system enter its own code - that never worked AND not telling it to skip pairing to sound device - that also never worked!!

Everything works with the exception of the Power All button.

What's the model of your Contour remote?

    Same as mine.

    If your Aquos is already paired, use Contour to pair your Panasonic.

    Contour button > Settings (gear icon) > Remote Settings > Voice Remote Pairing > Yes > Choose Another Device > Find Panasonic

    ...this where I bailed because I don't have a Panasonic.

      Before pairing with panasonic, TV POWER on tuirned on the TV. After pairing to Panasonic, TV POWER ON turns on the Panasonic. I have to use a seperate remote to turn on and off the TV.

      I have tried pairing to the panasonic using the auto pairing Ino code) method AND I have tried pairing using the code COX's web site gave me. Same result.
