The precision-finished center shaft and bearings (with a
circularity of less than 0.211) and the platter with its high
inertial mass of 330kg-cm2 prove to be a winning combi-
nation in this model. Together with the quartz PLL brush-
less Hall motor, they yield such top-notch characteristics as
a wow and flutter of less than 0.025% (WRMS) and a
signal-to-noise ratio of better than 78dB (DIN-B). This is a
truly professional performance.

All-electronic Durable Quick Stop Function

The model incorporates an all-electronic brake to bring the
platter to a halt instantly. When the tonearm swings back to
the arm rest, a current flows in the opposite direction to
the platter is rotation and passes to the motor drive coil
and, in an instant, the platter is stopped rotating.

No-howl, Vibration-resistant Coaxial Suspension
System

The platter and the tonearm are secured to the base board,
and the base board is springmounted and separated from
the cabinet with what Pioneer calls the coaxial suspension
construction. This cuts out virtually all of the vibrations
transmitted from the floor, and greatly reduces the chances
of howl.
