Gary,
Theoretically, this does not sound possible.
I think you are having a brain fart...no offense.
Are you saying if you set the VCR to record on channel 6..it records the channel
the TV is tuned to?
Either you have your cables reversed on the rear...are you using a cable box or
VCR plus feature set to the incorrect channel?

Yes, I believe you are correct. When I manually turn it on, it comes on
in TV mode and when play is pressed, it of course switches to VCR mode.
If I manually press record, it will change to VCR mode and the signal
from the chosen channel is recorded. But when I program the timer to
record, it comes on in TV mode and does not record the signal from the
channel I chose.
