SONY PS-5100

Commentary

Belt drive player with semi-automatic mechanism for high cost performance.

Uses 4-pole hysteresis synchronous motor with less vibration developed exclusively for the turntable.
The belt is made of highly accurate polyurethane.

A 30 cm aluminum die-cast turntable is used for the turntable part.

It employs a newly developed universal tone arm and incorporates an arm lifter and an inside force canceler.

Equipped with semi-auto mechanism capable of auto return and auto cut.

IM-type cartridges are used. Since the shell is an international standard, the cartridge can be replaced.

The output code is a low-capacity type without high-frequency loss.

Uses a removable acrylic dust cover and is designed with a fleece top.
