divxhacker,
I'm not sure I need the capacity to change channels, so maybe I'm okay as is.
Thank you for suggesting that I turn off the power save function. It did not occur to me that the box turned off by design, and I would not have thought to look for such a feature.

I now can successfully record using the timer on the VCR. The biggest problem is ensuring that the VCR doesn't try to act as tuner. I have found that I must continually reset it on channel 3.
