This automatic player enables light needle pressure operation by equalizing the electromagnetic detection mechanism.

With an auto player, there is a case that side pressure is applied to the arm and the needle tip or record may be damaged.
In order to solve this problem, a built-in electromagnetic detection mechanism detects the movement of the arm electromagnetically at the position of the arm regardless of the sound groove of the record, and ensures automatic operation with a dedicated timing motor separate from the drive motor.
As a result, tracing with light needle pressure operation whose performance is the same as that of manual player is realized.

A belt drive system is adopted for the drive system, and a 4-pole synchronous motor is used for the motor.
In addition to improving the support system of the motor, the use of precision finished capstan and turntable shaft realizes highly stable rotation.

In addition to easy-to-operate automatic operation, manual operation is also possible.

The tone arm uses a static balance S-shaped tone arm.
By using an ultra-precision ball bearing in the horizontal direction and a ポポットベアリング in the vertical direction, the sensitivity is improved and the follow-up is also improved. In addition, since it is equipped with an inside four scan cellar of the thread suspension type, the balance of the needle tip can be accurately taken, and more faithful tracing is possible.
The needle pressure can be adjusted to the proper needle pressure with the direct-reading balance weight.

It is equipped with newly developed MM type cartridge SV-41.

The cabinet floating system is adopted for the cabinet, and a turntable board is floated from the cabinet to prevent howling, and the whole cabinet is supported by an insulator to prevent vibration from the outside.

It uses a low-capacity (40pF/m) output code with good high-frequency characteristics, and 4-channel playback is possible by changing the cartridge.
