I notice that the Magic key (or Setup key for some of you guys) on the Cinema7 can function as a shift key and I mapped something to the shifted PrevChannel button using the following sequence:
Magic*_**9*9*4* **Magic*x*x*x*Magic*PrevCh* **
now whenever I press Magic*PrevCh* it will send discrete off signal to my DVD player. This is all fine and dandy until the time when I want to clean up that button. According to the instruction, I have to do the Magic 994 and press the PrevCh twice, but it only set the normal PrevCh button back to default, shifted PrevCh still turns off my DVD.
What can I do to get ride of the mapping?

You must alter the clearing sequence just as you altered the original sequence:
Magic*_**9*9*4**Magic*PrevCh*Magic*PrevCh**
Let me know if that helps.

Ingenious,
Thanks for your reply, but I am sorry to say that I have tried that before and no it did not help. The moment I keyed in the first PrevCh it gavee me a long blink, indicating that sequence was invalid. I continued the sequence just for the heck of it and indeed, Magic*PrevCh still performed Discrete Power Off.
Any other thought?

I appologize for my error. I should have done more testing before I posted.
I just did some more testing, and have verified that, for any button X, shift-X seems to perform the same function as X unless one or the other was redefined. Therefore, I'd say, other than a full system reset, your best bet is the following sequence:
Magic*_**9*9*4**PrevCh*Magic*PrevCh**
This at least returns the function to the button that used to be there, as far as I can tell. I can't say for certain whether it actually frees up the memory without performing more testing than I really care to, as it would require completely reprogramming my remote.
One interesting consequence of all this, though, is that when you redefine a key from its default function to something else, you can always access its original function by using the shifted version of the same button, thereby sidestepping the reprogramming.

Thanks Ingenious, I tried and it seems to have removed the Descrete off from the Magic PrevCh key sequence.
