Linear tracking DD full auto player equipped with dust cover auto lift-up mechanism.

The tone arm bearing uses a gimbal servo system with high sensitivity and excellent stability. In combination with a straight short arm of linear tracking system, excellent trackability is obtained.
Two stepping motors are used to drive the arms, and a microcomputer is used to operate the arms horizontally and vertically to improve the accuracy and stability of the operation.

In addition to the normal full auto function, it is equipped with various auto functions such as search drive, memory repeat, and point memory which can store the start and end points of the part you want to listen to.

The sensor automatically detects the record size.

The dust cover is automatically raised with one touch of the eject button. When the cover is further raised at the time of auto-stop, only the arm is automatically lowered with the PLAY switch. It is also possible to play while watching the needle tip.

We have adopted an electronic servo DD motor that enables the servo circuit to compensate for the sudden load fluctuation of the sound groove that occurs at large amplitude and provides smooth rotation characteristics.
Also, a 30 cm aluminum die-cast turntable is used for the turntable.
