I think your friend's VCR is unusual if it works as you describe it.  My
RCA VKP950 Hi-fi machine, and most of the others I have looked at have a
3-position switch: Hi-FI (which automatically switches IF there is a hi-fi
signal), Linear (which always picks up the linear tracks) and Mix (which
mixes the hi-fi and linear tracks -- for sound-on-sound, dubbing of music
onto a recorded hi-fi tape, etc.)

Note that my machine does NOT tell you visually that it is using the hi-fi
signal -- although you can certainly hear the difference.  Other VHS
machines do have indicator lights.
