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

that you are listening to (i.e. Watching the DVD, but record-
ing the CD player). To access this function:
