Commentary
Direct drive auto-changer with quartz phase locked control.
To select single multi-play, you only need to replace the center spindle, and it is designed so that you can enjoy manual play, 1 ~ 6 times and R (repeat) memo gram, and multi-play up to 6 records.
By using the provided auto / manual spindle, you can enjoy manual play.
This is a combination type that does not require automatic or manual switching. If you use an oil dump type queuing lever, you can cue up a song in the middle. Even in manual play, the Oatley turn mechanism works and the arm automatically returns to rest.
In auto-play mode, if you set the number of revolutions and record size, you only need to operate the start / stop lever. The auto-start, auto-stop, and Oatley turn operate. It also comes with a memo gram that allows you to set 1-6 times and R (repeat) continuous performances.
If you use the spindle for auto-changer, you can enjoy multi-play of up to 6 records. If you set the memogram according to the number of records, you can play up to 6 records continuously. If you set the memogram to the R position, you can enjoy repeated playing of the last record.
The center spindle used for the auto-changer is an umbrella type spindle developed by Technics, and the dust cover can be closed even when the auto-changer spindle is used.
Uses a double vibration isolation structure made of TNRC, an acoustic material with excellent vibration damping and absorption characteristics.
Phase control by quartz oscillation achieves rotational speed deviation of ± 0.002%.
In addition, high-precision detection signals have been obtained by using an all-around detection F. G for rotational speed detection.
The bearing structure of the tone arm employs a gimbal suspension system in which the axes of the horizontal and vertical rotation axes intersect at a point.
Equipped with MM cartridge.
Equipped with a stylus illuminator.
