[QUOTE="PaulR, post: 588187, member: 176256"] I would think that just about all satellite, DVD and VCRs have this type of button. As you say it switches pin 8 on and off (3v is not recognised). What this does is relinquish control of the TV so that, say, you could use your satellite receiver to record onto an external DVD recorder or VCR and watch something else on a TV chnnel. It can also be used to re-establish priority if you have multiple devices connected to your TV. It does depend somewhat on the TV though as some only require 12v briefly to establish which scart connection has priority and others will stick doggedly on to whichever scart has 12v showing!
