LUXMAN PX-lOl

Fully Automatic Tangential Tracking Turntable

The PX-101 plays back records
exactly as they were cut: in a
straight line. Essentially, providing
zero-deviation from the cutting
process, as well as zero tracking
error and zero tracking distortion
during playback.

The advantages of tangential
tracking are immediately evident.
The music sounds "cleaner," with
better separation between chan-
nels, better separation of instru-
ments within the orchestra, and a
far more vivid recreation of the
"soundstage."

With the PX-101, wow and
flutter is inaudible. Rumble, non-
existent. Speeds: 33 1/3 and 45

RPM, with a :3% deviation avail-
able at will. Both the tonearm and
headshell are constructed of
improved aluminum alloy for
resonance-control and damping.

Fully automatic, direct drive, it
requires but a touch to operate.

A built-in circuit of the PX-101
will automatically place your
accompanying Luxman KX-101 or
KX-102 Cassette Deck in the pause
mode when the record you're
recording has reached the end of
play. And the PX-101 is also respon-
sive to the Infrared Wireless Remote
Control system of the new Luxman
RX-103 Receiver.

The PX-101. Every inch, a Luxman.

Features

Tangential Tracking System:
The straight tone arm of the
PX-iOi tracks in a straight line
from the outer grooves to the
inner grooves of a disc, exactly
as the disc was cut. This virtually
eliminates tracking errors and
inside force problems; giving
better stereo separation, and a
more vivid recreation of the
recording soundstage. The
high performance tone arm is
driven by a separate tone arm
control motor, which is superior
in its construction of comput-
erized control circuits and im-
proved stainless steel wire.

Optical Sensing Fully
Automatic Function:

Fully automatic, smooth, accu-
rate response is ensured thanks
to the exclusive Integrated
Circuit TIP and Optical Sensing
Circuit. (Detection of the auto
return point occurs without
side-force.) Press the Start/Cut
button after selecting the speed.
Automatic lead in and lead out
of the tonearm is activated by
Feather-Touch Control. Interrup-
tion of operation during play is
made easy by pressing the
Start/Cut button. The tonearm
automatically returns to the
armrest and shuts off the motor.

In the "Repeat" position, play-
back of the same record is
endlessly repeated.

Auto Disc Pause:

When activated, a built-in circuit
of the PX-101 automatically
places your accompanying
KX-101 or KX-102 Cassette Deck
in the pause mode from the rec-
ord mode, when the record
being taped reaches the end of
play. Allows you to leave the sys-
tem unattended while taping.

Remote Control Capability:
In combination with the RX-IO3
Receiver, the PX-iOl Turntable
may be controlled through the
RX-103's infrared wireless
Remote Control. The Remote
Control activates the turntable's
play, cut, cue up, and cue down
functions.

Electrical Cueing and Arm
Speed Switches:

A touch of the Cueing Switch
controls the tone arm, up and
down. The Arm Speed Switch
allows you to move the tone
arm into position over the exact
cut desired on the disc. A slight
touch and the arm moves
slowly; a further touch and the
arm moves faster, either toward
the inside or outside of the disc.

External Control Board:

The controls are located outside
of the dust cover, to protect

Detachable Head Shell:
Cartridges are easy to install.
The PX-101 accepts a variety of
cartridges and other standard
universal head shells.

Mirror Reflex Stroboscope:
The unique Stroboscope system
of mirror-reflection makes
adjustments on accurate feed
rotation easy.

Pitch Control:

The speed can be adjusted by
turning pitch control up to
:3.0%.

An ideal system in combination with the PX-707 is the Luxman RX-103
Receiver with Remote Control and the KX-102 Computer Cassette Deck.
