A flat-roof linear skating player with remote control for even greater ease of use.
When combined as the session system, you can start / stop the turntable and up / down the tone arm with a wireless remote control by using an adapter sold separately.
Low mass and straight arm are used for the tone arm.
In addition, the cartridge is equipped with XL-150 which is MM type cartridge.
A linear BSL motor, which Sony is proud of, is used in the rotating system, and stable rotation is achieved by controlling with a servomechanism.
It uses a full automatic mechanism in which the turntable part is stored and the performance starts with one start button.
Manual operation is also possible by pulling out the turntable part.
It uses an opto-electronic disc selector that automatically selects the size by simply setting the record on the turntable and the tone arm accurately reads in.
In addition, the tone arm is not lowered even if the start button is pressed without setting a record.
Equipped with a muting mechanism that cuts the output until the needle tip comes down and eliminates noise when the needle tip touches the record board.
If the turntable is obstructed by an obstacle during loading, it stops for approximately 10 seconds and returns to its original position.
The cabinet uses a SBMC with excellent acoustic characteristics.
Synchronized play with the cassette deck is possible with the separately sold synchronized unit.
