FEATURES

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.

Servo-controlled linear tracking tonean'n

Compared with a pivoted tonearm, a linear tracking arm has a very
small tracking error (which means greatly reduced harmonic distor-
tion) and almost no pressure on the inside wall of the groove (which
means improved tracking ability and channel separation).

Programmed play

The RMS (Random Music Sensor), AMS (Automatic Music Sensor)
and skip functions allow you to program record play as you like.
HMS: tor playing the selections on one side at the record In a
desired sequence.

AMS: for starting record play from the desired selection.

Skip iunction: tor skipping selections to the desired selection.

A microcomputer controls lour motors

The movement of the turntable, the tonearm and the turntable
module is controlled by a microcomputer. When you press the
START/STOP button, the module will close. the turntable will rotate
and the tonearm will lower onto the record. The tonearm up/down is
controlled by its own linear motor to obtain quiet movement.

Fully automatic system

With the module closed, automatic record play and tonearm
up/down are operated by the "leather-touch" tunction buttons on
the lront panel. The record size is automatically set by a photo
sensor system.

Mutlng system

A muting system activates when the tonearm is lilted and deac-
tivates alter 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.

Quartz lock servo system
The turntable maintains accurate and driit-iree speed by referring
to a irequency generated by a very stable quartz oscillator.

Linear torque BSL motor

Direct drive system with Sony's unique BSL (brushless and slot-
less) motor which has an extremely low noise Ievei and whose
smoothness virtually eliminates wow and tlutter. Its high torque
assures a quick start to 331/: rpm after only a hall revolution.

Synchronized operation with the Sony cassette decks

When the tonearm lowers onto the lead-in groove of a record, the
cassette deck stand-by mode is released and the record mode
assumed. This synchronized operation is possible with Sony
cassette decks equipped with a remote control jack which is con-
nected with the Sony RM-65 synchro remote control unit.
