Your VCR knows absolutely nothing about Surround Sound.  Without being there
to check over your system, I can't say what is wrong, but you should be having
no problems recording a stereo program and playing it back later, with stereo
and surround sound.  Are you getting the stero played back OK?  If the answer
is yes, then you should have surround as well.
