Commentary

A jacket size full automatic player equipped with Quartz D. D.

Equipped with an electronically controlled full-automatic mechanism, it automatically detects the size and number of revolutions of a record and starts playing just by setting the record and pressing the start button on the front panel.

The upper cabinet is equipped with a linear tracking arm, and the tracking error angle is within ± 0.1% and the inside force is almost 0, realizing highly accurate arm travel by microcomputer control.

By adopting the arm bearing structure of the gimbal suspension system, the same high sensitivity is realized in all directions.
In addition, the dynamic balance type arm realizes stable tracing performance.

In addition to Technics' unique integrated structure D. D. and all-around detection F. G., the introduction of quartz realizes excellent performance with rotational speed deviation within ± 0.002%.

Equipped with a plug-in connector type MM cartridge.

Vibration isolation performance is improved by constructing the lower cabinet and bottom base entirely with TNRC.
