JVC QL-Y5F turntable

Electro-Servo Fully Automatic Quartz Turntable

The Flagship of JVC's Fine Line of Turntable

Features

E-D Servo tonearm for reduced resonance

Double-Servo Quartz control

Cog-free coreless DC servo motor

Electronic resonance-damping, tracking-force and anti-skate controls

Computerized fully automatic convenience with repeat

 

The design objectives for our top-of-the-line turntable were simple; eliminate all unwanted resonance, speed error, noise and vibration while offering fingertip computer control convenience. The superlative QL-Y5F attests to our success, and we were able to make it beautiful to boot Read on.

 


JVC E-D Servo tonearm

A genuine breakthrough

JVC engineers isolated "tonearm resonance" as the most inimical of all conceivable resonance in a turntable, since it colors reproduction, adds distortion (particularly intermodulation) and prevents accurate arm tracking. JVC's E-D Servo tonearm solves the problem of "sympathetic resonance". See the full description of this remarkable tonearm on the next page.

The E-D Servo tonearm - construction

Two coreless linear motors are used in the E-D Servo tonearm. One, housed inside the structure positioned to the right of the vertical bearing, controls and adjust the arm's vertical position in relation with the record's surface. The other, positioned below the tonearm base, controls and adjust the arm's horizontal position in relation to the record groove.

Even warped records are no challenge to the E-D Servo tonearm

The E-D Servo system successfully damped the tonearm to shut out audible damage caused by low-frequency infrasonic and external vibration. The result is better record tracking, lower distortion a higher signal-to-noise ratio and even better Wow and Flutter.

 


Our Improved Double-Servo Quartz system has made speed control 30 times more accurate

Speed accuracy is nearly flawless thanks to the Double-Servo Quartz speed detection system for the platter motor

 

Coreless DC servo motor is cog-free yet powerful

Our coreless DC servo motor has no cores for cog-free, smooth rotation, yet has 50% more torque than conventional coreless designs, thanks to a push-pull drive circuit.

 

Up-front, light-touch controls and fully automatic operation for a unique operating experience

All the controls for this JVC masterpiece are on the front panel. All arm movements - up, down, left and right - are possible in the manual mode via light-touch buttons. Full automatic operation is supervised by a microcomputer and initiated by the Start/Stop button.

 

Other features:

Repeat for infinite playback of one record

Solid one-piece headshell doesn't rattle or resonate

Height adjustable tonearm arrangement (±3 mm)

LED indicators for speed, quartz-lock, record size, repeat and arm cue

Rosewood veneer cabinet, polished to a rich mirror finish.
