- FEATURES
Biotracer electronic tonearm
The horizontal and vertical movement of the tonearm is monitored
by the Biotracer's own sensors, and this information is transmitted
to the tonearm by the tonearm's own linear motors to suppress
resonance at low frequencies and to obtain the maximum signal-to-
noise ratio.
Automatic arm lift
When play finishes, an optical sensor detects the record's end and
activates the lift-up of the tonearm. The turntable then stops.
Electronic stylus force and anti-skating adjustment
As the stylus force is electronically controlled by a knob it can be
easily adjusted during record play. The proper anti-skating force is
automatically set when the stylus force is set.
Quartz lock and magnedisc servo system
The turntable maintains an accurate and drift-free speed by refer-
ring to a frequency generated by a very stable quartz oscillator, and
with aid of a speed monitoring system which utilizes a magnetic
pick-up head and a pulse signal derived from a magnetic coating at
the edge of the platter.
Linear BSL motor
Direct
drive
system
with
Sony's
unique
BSL
(Brushless
and
slotless) motor which has a high signal-to-noise ratio to virtually
eliminate wow and flutter. Its high torque assures quick start to
331/3 rpm after only a half revolution.
OPERATING VOLTAGE
Before connecting the unit to the power source, check that the
operating voltage of your unit is the same as the local power line
voltage.
The model for European countries (Type 1) operates on 220 V ac.
The model for the United Kingdom (Type 2) operates on 240 V ac.
The model for other countries (Type 3) operates on either 110-120 or
220-240 V ac.
The voltage selector is located on the rear panel.
If
the selector must be reset, disconnect the ac power cord and slidé
the selector to the desired voltage.
For the Customers in the United Kingdom
important
The wires in the mains lead are coloured in accordance with the
following code:
Blue:
Neutral
Brown:
Live
As the colours of the wires in the mains lead of this apparatus may
not correspond
with the coloured
markings
identifying the ter-
minals in your plug proceed as follows:
The wire which is coloured blue must be connected to the terminal
which is marked with the letter N or coloured black.
The wire which is coloured brown must be connected to the ter-
minal which is marked with the letter L or coloured red.
PRECAUTIONS
On safety
@ Before operating the unit, be sure that the operating voltage of
your unit is identical with that of your local power supply.
@ Should any solid object or liquid fall into the cabinet, unplug the
unit and have it checked by qualified personnel before operating it
any further.
@ Unplug the unit from the wail outlet if it is not to be used for an
extended period of time.
To disconnect the cord, pull it out by the
plug.
Never pull the cord itself.
On installation
@ Place the turntable on a level surface.
@ Avoid placing the unit near electrical appliances (such as a televi-
sion, hair dryer, or fluorescent
lamp) which
may cause
hum or
noise.
@ Place the turntable where it will not be subject to any vibration,
such as from speakers, slamming of doors, etc.
@Keep
the
unit
away
from
direct
sunlight,
temperature, and excessive dust and moisture.
@ Allow at least 10 cm (4 inches) clearance behind the unit so that
