Yes, there are macros. Like if you push HDTV on the remote, it turns on the TV, switches to the HDTV input, turns on the 990, switches it to the HDTV input and the amp triggers. For my CD player, the 990 turns on, switches to CD, the Arcam has the 12 volt trigger, so it is on at that point, I set it to delay 2 seconds (lets the amp turn on enough) and then hits play on the cd player.
