So, check this out!
When you are playing something though the line-in on a JVC 838, the VU meters do not swing at the level of the INPUT signal like most other boxes
. They swing at the level of the OUTPUT.
That's no good for me when I have this box in an office setting. I want the meters to dance, but do not have the option to crank these sucka's up. The 838 sits pretty, but with no VU needle movement while my Discolite LEDs are having a rave seizure and my Fisher 492 LEDs are dancing up a storm.
Since the cassette motor is dead on my 838, I was just playing around with the cassette buttons that when I push RECORD, the VU's swing at the INPUT level of the line in!!!
For you other guys with working cassettes, maybe push record and pause so you don't burn out your motor? Just sharing so you know you have options!
Thanks for reading!
