Gary,
My experience with VCR recording, is that the when the VCR is in the record
mode, it records the channel selected on the VCR, regardless of the position
of the tv/vcr switch. If this were not the case, you would not be able to
watch one channel and record another one.
You should be able to prove this by recording manually with the front
buttons or the remote. Turn the vcr on, select tv with the tv/vcr switch and
press record.
I think I am reading your post properly.
Good luck,
