A front loading type full auto player with a compact design of 21 cm depth.

Easy Operation Full Auto is adopted, and even the record size is automatically detected just by setting a record and turning ON the START switch, and playing is possible without touching the tone arm.
SH rotor type motor is used for the drive motor.
