* This
new
measuring
method
concerns
only the turntable
assembly,
in-
cluding the platter. it excludes
wow
and flutter caused by the tonearm, the
cartridge, or the record. Measured by obtaining signal from magnetic pick-up
head.
FEATURES
Linear tracking tonearm
Compared
with a pivoted tonearm, a linear tracking arm has a very
small
tracking error
(which
means
greatly reduced harmonic dis-
tortion) and almost no pressure on the inside wall of the groove of
records
(which
means
improved
trackability and channel separa-
tion).
Front pane! operation with the dust cover closed
The ARM
TRANSPORT
buttons allow you to move the tonearm
easily
over
the desired
point of the record
with the dust cover
closed.
Start/stop of the record play and tonearm
up/down can also be
controlled using the buttons on the front panel.
Fully automatic system
The movement
of the turntable and the tonearm
is controlled by a
microcomputer
and is activated
by the ''feather-touch" function
buttons on the front panel.
Automatic record size selection
The
record
size is automatically set by a photo sensor system.
If
no
record
is on
the turntable,
the tonearm
will not descend
but
will automatically return to the tonearm resting position.
Muting system
A muting system activates when
the tonearm
is lifted and is deac-
tivated 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.
Quartz lock servo system
The turntable maintains an accurate and drift-free speed by refer-
ring to a frequency 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 level and whose
smoothness
virtually eliminates wow
and flutter. Its high torque
assures a quick start to 33 1/3 rpm after only a half 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 as-
sumed. This synchronized operation is possible with Sony cassette
decks equipped with a four-pin remote control jack which is con-
nected with the Sony RM-65 synchro remote control unit.
