Whats a macro?
A macro is a key programmed with a sequence of references to other keys. On the Cinema 7 almost any key can store a macro of up to 15 key presses. Macros are most commonly used to make a single key to power on/off every device in the system. One very important rule about macros: when a macro is programmed into a button, it becomes active for all devices! Any existing functions are overwritten by the macro. I’ve found that when programming a macro to a non-macro button (this includes the “L” keys) that the playback does not include a delay on the Cinema 7. This is great for some situations like power on/off of multiple devices. BTW, the Radio Shack 15-1994 does not exhibit this behavior. Click here for instructions on how to use the macro feature.
