Magic 994 is referred to as "key magic" and allows assigning missing functions to a button. https://www.oneforall.com/en-us/support/faq/urc7955-urc7980-how-can-i-program-missing-function-my-smart-control

Relevant O4A codes

00189 - SIRC (A:0x00 C:0x7F)

00255 - SIRC (A:0x00 C:0x65)

00095 - SIRC (A:0x00 C:0x55)

00079 - SIRC (A:0x00 C:0x15)

Procedure for programming a key magic code

Hold Magic until LED blinks

Select device (has to roughly match the real world device - use DVD) - LED should blink twice (if not, the device code was rejected)

Enter 994 (two blinks)

Press magic

Enter key magic code

Press the button to assign it to. LED will blink twice.

Remote Reset

Hold Magic until LED blinks twice

Enter 981

Wait until TV blinks 4 times

Observations

Key Magic functions manually added will persist until they are replaced with different key magic or the remtoe is reset. Simply entering a new device code will not replace the key magic functions

The device that's programmed has an effect on the key magic function that's added. Examples:
