sony es-444 remote

When using the remote commander, while set to VCR (video 2 on
receiver, video 3 on TV). I go to Auto Power and set it up to autopower to video-3 on the TV. That's fine. When I switch to VCR, it automatically switches my TV (sony 36" WEGA) to video 3.

Now, My Sony PlayStation 2 which is connected to Video 1 on the TV automatically switches to video 3 also when I select the PS2.

Basically, when I set the Auto Power, it applies that video setting to ALL of the functions/components I choose. Changing the PS2 to auto power to video 1 now causes the VCR to go to video 1.

Same applies to DVD on video 4.

Can't these be separated?? What's the point of auto-power if when you set it for one component it applies it to all components?
