JVC JL-A20

 This dependable auto-return belt-drive turntable offers the multiple benefis of precision and convenience. Its uncomlicated mechanism permits the stylus to track freely, as on any first-class manual, until the stylus enters the lead-out grooves to the record, or until you trigger the Reject control. All controls are grouped at the right side to enhance ease of operation.

JVC 4-Pole Synchronous Motor

Practical performance at a  pleasing price

 Dependable, Belt-Drive System

A 4-pole synchronous motor and belt drive system are employed in this unit for silent and reliable operation. The nonferrous die-cast platter of the JL-A20 is spun precisely for more critical operation. This motor maintains very close tolerance speed accuracy regardless of changes in loads or power voltages.

Th and Anti-Skate Device

The tonearm features JVC's TH (Tracking Hold) system to avoid mistracking, distortion, channel imbalance and undue record wear. The anti-skate device is of  the easy-to-use knob type that lets you apply the required anti-skate force even while the arm is tracking a record. Record and stylus wear is thus reduced. Like the JL-F30, this model features the low-silhouette look abd gets you closer than you've ever been to The Musical Truth,

 Auto-Return/Shut-Off Convenience

Place the stylus on the first groove of your favorite record, then sit back and enjoy the music - leaving the rest to the automatic mechanism of this unit which sends the arm to its rest and turns off the power at the end of a record. You operate the reject lever to interrupt play and send the arm backto rest. And the oil-damped Cue lever lets you menually place the stylus on the groove of all your favorite selections, regardless of the arranged sequences of the record.
