record is played.
• OFF
Provides the normal state.

5. Articulator switch (ARTICULATOR)
This function performs demagnetization by using sound sig-
nals.
When a record is played with the articulator switch set to
ON, the cartridge and step-up transformer are demagne-
tized, and thus the expression of fresh sound is brought
back.
When the articulator switch is set to ON, no sound is gen-
erated or the sound becomes remarkably small during
playback. This is the sign that the cartridge is being de-
magnetized. If the articulator is set to OFF at this point, the
sound suddenly becomes loud. Therefore, do not turn up
the sound volume of the control amplifier or the like. It is
recommended to activate the articulator for approximately
30 seconds before the end of a track of the record.
• OFF
Deactivates the articulator. Select this position under
normal conditions.
• ON
Activates the articulator.
