	Of course, a Macro can have just one step, and there doesn't have to be more than one Multi-Macro on any given key. As an example, if on your BluRay device, you put a single Device Specific Multi Macro on the Stop key, with just one stage which sends the code for "eject", then if you press the Stop key briefly, the BluRay will stop playing, but if you press and hold it, the disc will be ejected. If you do want to have more than one multi-macro on a key, they are executed in the same order as they appear on the Special Functions tab.

If you do want to have more than one multi-macro on a key, they are executed in the same order as they appear on the Special Functions tab.

			Another example is the Power key. You can use a short press to send the normal Power function to a device. A long press can be used to run a macro which will switch off the device and also other devices needed to use that device. For example, the BluRay player would have a macro on the long press to switch off the player, the TV and also the amplifier.

	You have 10 phantom keys (i.e., keys that are not physically on the remote, but which you can allocate in RMDU and include in macros) and 10 shifted-phantom keys per device. This gives you plenty of options for Shifted keys and Multimacros.

The URC-3660 and URC-3661 have six device buttons, but are capable of controlling eight devices but only if used with RMIR. The other two have eight device buttons. In the URC-3660 and URC-3661, RMIR refers to the missing buttons as "Dev4" and "Dev8" and ~~you~~ can access ~~them~~ by putting Dev4/Dev8 in a macro. More about Macros later.

There is also the Insignia NS-RMT5D21 which has only four device buttons but also limited access to an Audio device. The URC-3660 and URC-3661 have six device buttons, but are capable of controlling eight devices but only if used with RMIR. The other two have eight device buttons. In the URC-3660 and URC-3661, RMIR refers to the missing buttons as "Dev4" and "Dev8". In addition, the NS-RMT5D21's two further missing device buttons are labelled "AUDIO" and "Dev7". There is also a missing Activity button on this one, referred to as "button5". You can access the devices without a button by putting Dev4/Dev8 (or AUDIO/Dev7) in a macro. More about Macros later.

	The Manual shows "AV Shift" and "Power Macro" as separate headings, but these are tied in with Activities. With "AV Shift", pressing the AV/Input key brings up a TV menu to change the input, and for 10 seconds, the Arrow Keys and OK operate the TV. However, on some TVs, pressing the Input (AV) button cycles through the possible inputs, so you don’t need it to temporarily allocate the arrow keys and "OK" to the TV. Where it does, you may wish to use Activities, but RMIR provides an alternative. If not using activities, it’s still possible to write Key Moves to the Input/AV button so that it always sends the signal to cycle through inputs to the TV. "Power Macro" sends the Power signal to every device involved in the current Activity, but using standard Power keys on the remote which will be toggles. Sometimes the toggles get out of sync, and it’s possible to write your own (device specific) macros for the Power key, to make use of Discrete Power Off signals where known.

	Your remote is able to "learn" signals from your original remote, and RMIR is able to decode those signals, in such a way that you can build up your own device code. You can then use the accompanying RMDU program to create your own Device Upgrade. The disadvantage is that it takes time and patience. One advantage is that you can get every button exactly where you want it. Another is that you can often get information to add one or two extra controls that were not originally on your remote, for things such as Discrete On and Discrete Off, as opposed to a Power Toggle button. Such controls are very useful in macros to turn everything on or off, without things getting out of sync, and you can often find them out by asking on the JP1 forum.
