JVC JL-F30 turntable

 Fully Automatic Belt-Drive Turntable

Features:

Fully automatic Lead-in, Repeat, Return and Shut-Off

Four-pole synchronous motor

Proven Belt-drive system

New gimbal support

Cost and performance. The relationship between these two factors has always been a headache to designers/engineers. At JVC our engineers tried to create -and did - a balanced turntable in the JL-F30 for any serious audiophile, using our own 4-pole synchronous motor and the proven belt-drive system. It's no surprise that it has a low wow and flutter of less than 0,06% (WRMS) and a high Signal-to-Noise Ratio  of better than 67 dB (DIN-B). With the fully automatic convenience, the JL-F30 offers more performance for less investment than other automatic on the market.

The JL-F30's fully automatic mechanism allows manual operation at any time during play. An oil-damped arm up/down lever (CUE) is provided, so that you can cue on any of the selections on a record, regardless of arranged sequences.

The 4-pole synchronous motor spins the aluminum platter through the linkage of a belt-drive system. Vibration is filtered out and speeds are kept steady against power voltage fluctuations or load changes. JVC quality control is evident throughout this unit. The unit also offers the benefits of a low-silhouette design, making it perfect for any home decor, solid cabinet construction. Parallel isolating Suspension and other features.
