Unique modular turntable system

When you touch the OPEN/CLOSE button the turntable module will
smoothly slide out. Other audio components can be positioned on
top of the turntable cabinet.

A microprocessor controls three motors

The movement of the turntable, the tonearm and the turntable
module is controlled by a microprocessor. When you press the
START/STOP button, the module will close, thetumtable will rotate
and the tonearm will lower onto the record.

Fully automatic system

With the module closed. automatic record play, repeat and stylus
upldown are operated by the feather-touch" iunction button on
the front panel. The record size is automatically set by a photo sen-
sor system. If no record Is on the turntable the tonearm will not
descend but Will automatically return to the arm rest. A muting
system activates when the tonearm is lifted and deactivates after
the tonearm lowers onto a record so there is no need to turn the
amplifier volume down every time a stylus is placed on a record.

smoothness virtually eliminates wow and flutter. Its high torque
assures a quick start to 33/, rpm after only a hall revolutionr

Wireless remote control operation lUS, FLSC model)

Using the optional RM-44 system remote controller, various opera-
tions-power onloff. start/stop of record play and tonearm upl
down-can be remotely controlled.

Tonearm return mechanism triggered by optical sensor

An optical sensor detects the record return point. No mechanical
pressure is applied to the stylus so the tonearm can use a very light
tracking force.

Synchronized operation with the Sony cassette decks

When the tonearrn lowers to the leadrin groove of a record. the
cassette deck stand-by mode is released and the record mode
assumed.

When play finishes. the cassette deck is automatically set first in
the record muting mode, then in the pause mode. This synchror
nized operation is possible with Sony cassette decks equipped with
a four-pin remote control lack which is connected With a Sony
RM-55 synchro remote control unit.
