Features
The coreless direct drive eliminates cogging and achieves smooth rotation
The newly developed coreless direct drive motor can reduce minute vibration
during rotation while maintaining high torque.
The high-precision motor control technology switches the drive mode depending
on the operational status of the motor and thus enables high torque and
stability.
The tone arm with high-precision bearings achieves high initialmotion
sensitivity
The tone arm pipe is light, highly rigid aluminum.
The use of traditional Technics gimbal suspension construction and high-
precision bearings attains high initial-motion sensitivity.
A turntable with high rigidity and improved vibration damping capacity
Reinforcing ribs on the back side of the aluminum die-cast platter and rubber
coating for removing unnecessary resonance can deliver high rigidity and
improved vibration damping capacity.
Vibration-proof cabinet and insulators
The two-layered cabinet made of a combination of BMC and aluminum die-cast
ensures high rigidity.
Special silicon rubber insulators providing excellent vibration damping
capacity and long-term reliability can shut out external vibration and
suppress howling noise.
High-quality terminals
Gold-plated PHONO output terminals prevent degradation in sound quality.
The case has a metal shielded interior to protect against external noise.
Highly accurate turntable speed maintained with the pitch control
The digital control method is adopted to achieve constant pitch control.
The pitch variable range select button (×2) is provided. The pitch control
with the range up to ±16 % is possible.

Head shell terminals
Wipe the head shell terminals occasionally. Wipe the head shell terminals with
a soft cloth and fit the head shell to the tone arm.
Turn the amplifier volume down or turn the amplifier off before fitting or
removing the head shell. Damage to your speakers can occur if the head shell
is moved while the volume is turned up.
Moving the unit
Repackage the unit in the packaging it came in. Keep the packaging materials
after taking out the goods. If you no longer have the packaging, do the
following: Take off the turntable and turntable mat and
carefully wrap them. Remove the head shell and balance weight
from the tone arm and carefully wrap them. Clamp the tone arm with the arm
clamp and
tape it in place. Carefully wrap the main unit in a blanket or
paper.
Repackaging
Playing back
Cleaning the dust cover and
cabinet
Wipe the dust cover and cabinet with a soft cloth. Do not touch the board
while cleaning. Otherwise, the player may fail. When dirt is heavy, wring a
wet cloth tightly to wipe the dirt, and then wipe it with a soft cloth. Do not
use solvents including benzene,
thinner, alcohol, kitchen detergent, a chemical wiper, etc. This might cause
the exterior case to be deformed or the coating to come off. Do not wipe the
dust cover while playing a record. This can cause static electricity. This
static can cause the tone arm to be attracted towards the dust cover.
Before repackaging,
remove the balance
weight and insert the
tone arm support
under the tone arm.

with the cartridge and
clean the stylus using a soft brush. Brush from the base to the tip. · Use a
record cleaner to keep your records clean.
Wipe the head shell terminals occasionally. Wipe the head shell terminals with
a soft cloth and fit the head shell to the tone arm .
Turn the amplifier volume down or turn the amplifier off before fitting or
removing the head shell. Damage to your speakers can occur if the head shell
is moved while the volume is turned up.
Moving the unit
Repackage the unit in the packaging it came in. Keep the packaging materials
after taking out the goods. If you no longer have the packaging, do the
following: · Take off the turntable and turntable mat and
carefully wrap them. · Remove the head shell and balance weight
from the tone arm and carefully wrap them . · Clamp the tone arm with the arm
clamp and
tape it in place. · Carefully wrap the main unit in a blanket or
paper.
Repackaging
Cleaning the dust cover and cabinet
Wipe the dust cover and cabinet with a soft cloth. Do not touch the board
while cleaning. Otherwise, the player may fail. When dirt is heavy, wring a
wet cloth tightly to wipe the dirt, and then wipe it with a soft cloth. · Do
not use solvents including benzene,
thinner, alcohol, kitchen detergent, a chemical wiper, etc. This might cause
the exterior case to be deformed or the coating to come off. · Do not wipe the
dust cover while playing a record. This can cause static electricity. This
static can cause the tone arm to be attracted towards the dust cover.
Before repackaging, remove the balance weight and insert the tone arm support under the tone arm.
