Turning off character ROM

So, it's me again :)

I vaguely remember there's something about the VIC only being able to see the characterset ROM at $9000. For example if I bank switch to $8000-$BFFF and turn on bitmap at $8000, then I see the characterset even though I turned everything off ($01=#$35). Now, my question is - can I somehow turn that off or do I need to put my bitmap somewhere else? (would it be sufficient to move it to the other half of the bank ($A000-$BFFF)?

youtube or it didn't happen! :)
