Commentary
A record player with improved operability thanks to a total automatic design.
It is an auto-start type. When the control lever is set to the Play position, the arm moves to the predetermined position with the record size selector and starts playing. When the play is finished, the arm automatically returns to the arm rest and the power switch is turned off. To stop the play midway, press the Reject button.
Also, when the control lever is set to Repeat, the disc on the turntable will automatically repeat playing. This repeat mechanism is also effective when playing from the middle. The needle tip down position can be adjusted with the needle tip down point adjustment screw.
If manual operation is desired, set the operation lever to the Manual position.
The mechanism uses a belt drive system and is equipped with a high torque AC servo motor with a built-in frequency generator.
This motor is a purely electronic control type that detects frequency deviation from time to time.
A static balance S-shaped tone arm is used for the tone arm part.
This arm has a unique design for internal wiring processing that reduces mutual interference and improves high-frequency separation. This improves sound localization and spread during stereo or 4-channel playback.
In addition, the counter weight and dial lock type anti-skating mechanism is designed with an emphasis on operability. In order to help determine the appropriate overhang when replacing the cartridge, an arrow and cross mark are attached to the attached 45 rotation adapter as a guide.
Arm is supported by aluminum die-cast Planer.
The cartridge uses M95ED manufactured by Schur.
It uses a turntable sheet with an emphasis on sound quality, and absorbs vibration energy during tracing by carefully examining the hardness and thickness of the material.
