NL. What does "Primary" and "Secondary" really do?

Hi!

What does Primary and Secondary really mean?

I always setup new NL products with the product i will multiroom "with" most primary and then secondary most secondary.
The only place i saw a difference is on my NL/ML Converter. The products was automatically mapped to some functions on the IR Mapping. As i like my IR custom it is actually not very useful for me.
So is there anything to gain or loose from using the primary/secondary function?

Actually i found a problem with this primary secondary thing:

BLC Line In is IR-Mapped to "TV".
If a product is automatically IR-Mapped to AUX. The BLC opens the AUX when i press TV. Not its own Line In as Mapped.
I had some problems with the sound from the Line In and by accident i discovered that when i press TV on the Remote in the livingroom the app showed me that the BLC joined the M5 in our bathroom on its line-in. There is no source on the line in therefore there was no sound.
I fixed it by putting BLC Line in both TV and AUX on the IR Mapping. In that way the "Primary/Secondary" function does not assign anything automatically to those two functions.
