Auto Lifter Function
Equipped with an Auto Lifter Function That Allows You to Enjoy Playing Records More Comfortably
When the tonearm reaches the end of the record, the Auto Lifter function automatically raises the cartridge. This prevents
unnecessary wear on your valuable vinyl records and stylus. By embedding the Auto Lifter function in the base portion of the
tonearm, it eliminates impacts to the tonearm. Due to a simple design that doesn't use motor power, there is no electrical or
vibrational impact and it will not prevent the movement of the tonearm. In response to requests from many users regarding
the Auto Lifter function, a design that prioritizes sound quality was adopted. The functions required to playback records
were kept to a bare minimum, achieving simple and easy‐to‐use operability.
