SANSUI P-M5

Commentary

A full-auto quartz DD player with an automatic random selection mechanism.

The tone arm uses a linear tracking arm to eliminate tracking errors and minimize the inside force to minimize distortion.

A FG servo DD coreless motor with excellent basic characteristics is used for the drive motor.
In principle, this motor has less torque fluctuation and less uneven rotation, resulting in stable rotational speed.

Equipped with a random program automatic music selection mechanism, you can play freely according to the programmed order of songs. You can play up to 7 songs in the program, and you can play repeatedly as many times as you like with the repeat function.
This automatic random program selection mechanism is provided by two computer sensors attached to the tip of the tone arm. First, the first sensor searches between songs on the record board and gives the computer a command to gently lower the arm. Second, the second sensor fully recovers the needle point between songs and gives the command to cancel muting. This dual sensor system enables accurate program selection.

Equipped with auto-select function, record size and rotation number can be designed automatically.
This function also functions as a safety mechanism to prevent the needle tip from being damaged by forgetting to place a record.

It is equipped with a Computer Edit mechanism that enables editing and recording of records when combined with a SANSUI cassette deck.
In this mechanism, recording of the cassette deck is started by the command of the computer sensor when the needle tip comes down to the record board, and the cassette deck becomes recording standby after Rec Mute by the command of the computer when the recording finishes.
