Pioneer PL-A300/PL-A300S

Commentary

Belt drive player equipped with full auto mechanism with quick play function.

Equipped with a full automatic mechanism, the tone arm automatically moves and starts playing just by putting the record on the turntable, selecting the record size and operating the start button.
When the recording is finished, the arm returns automatically. In addition, it is equipped with a repeat function so that you can play repeatedly.
In manual operation, the power is turned on and the turntable rotates simply by moving the arm to the record board by hand.

A belt drive system is adopted for the turntable part.
A 4-pole synchronous motor is used as the drive motor, and rotation unevenness is suppressed by the combination with the polyurethane belt with increased thickness accuracy.

The tone arm uses a highly sensitive S-shaped tone arm equipped with an anti-skating mechanism and a lateral balancer.
A durable angular contact bearing is used for the horizontal vertical axis receiver.

The MM type cartridge PC-110/II is used.

The cabinet has a double structure consisting of a high density upper board and an under board made of hard plywood to damp harmful vibrations that cause howling.

Natural rubber and butyl rubber are combined for the leg part.

Equipped with an arm elevation mechanism, it prevents the needle tip and record from being damaged during manual operation.

Low-dose output code is used.

Equipped with a head shell stand.
