VCR and Tape Operation
The Maestro has full independent recording loops for a VCR
and Tape Deck. Both of these inputs allow recording a sepa-
rately from the one that you are listening to. Pressing the
VCR or Tape button while another source is active enables
you to continue recording that source, but monitor the
output of the recording deck. Both source LEDs on the front
of the Maestro will be lit.
Independent Recording
It is possible to record a source different from the source
that you are listening to (i.e. Watching the DVD, but record-
ing the CD player). To access this function:

processing and passes a pure two channel analog audio
signal from the input source to the main amplifier outputs
