VU Meter

The VU, or Volume Unit Meter, gives you a visual indication, in decibels, of the relative
volume level. In the 8mm/VHS Dual-Deck VCR Model GV8020, the relative audio volume is
automatically adjusted. The VU Meter indicates the output volume, not the recording volume.
For example, if the audio is muted or if the volume is turned down, this will be reflected on
the VU Meter, but the audio level on the recording will remain stable. The L and R indicators
are ON during stereo and OFF during mono playback.
