When the Timer becomes active, the VCR switches the Set Top Box „On“ by means of a small device (that we affectionately call a „Sat Mouse“) put on the Satellite receiver.The correct channel is automatically selected and the recording starts.When the recording is over, both Set Top Box and VCR are automatically switched back to Stand-By.
