Quartz Fully Automatic turntable
JVC's Core-Less Direct-Drive Motor
JVC Super Servo Frequency Generator
The best of both turntable worlds - platter rotational accuracy and full automatic operational ease - are included in the QL-F4. the combined use of our coreless motor plus the direct-drive mechanism and our renowned JVC Quartz technology is the secret behind the performance of the QL-F4 and its low wow and flutter of 0,025% (WRMS). We believe in this price range on the market that offers so much full automatic convenience as does the QL-F4
JVC Quartz for Accuracy
The QL-F4 featured the JVC Quartz servosystem which incorporates a precision Quartz oscillator JVC Super Servo Frequency Generator and responsive servo circuit, its major highlight is the JVC core-less direct0drive motor, this doesn't "cog" and thus assures absolutely smooth and accurate revolution, and leads to low wow/flutter of 0,025% (WRMS). This plus the use of simplified circuits for greater dependability, works together to give you JVC's Musical Truth.
Fully Automatic Mechanism
The Ql-F4 offers the convenience of fully automatic operation. Among its unusually versatile functions are;
Auto Repeat offering from 1 to 6 plays at the twist of a rotary control, with the "R" setting offering infinite replays.
Auto Lead-in, which raises the tonearm, moves it over the edge of the record, and gently lowers it to the lead-in-groove to start playing
Auto-Return which sets the tonearm automatically to its rest when a play is completed then shuts the power off. As a bonus the moment you move the tonearm manually, the QL-F4 can be operated as if originally designed for manual operation.
New Gimbal Support and More
Included in the Ql-F4 are, New Gimbal Support, One-Row Strobe, Oil-Damped Cueing, the knob-type Anti-Skate control, low-resonance cabinet, etc.
