Turntable and Construction
Quartz lock with Magnedisc servo control prevents even minute speed variations caused by external factors
The Sony Linear Torque BSL (brushless, slotless) motor designed for uniform and smooth delivery of torque
Electromagnetic braking provides rapid and smooth half of platter rotation
Sony Bulk Molding Compound base is both rigid and acoustically inert to reduce feedback
Adjustable gel-filled feet isolate turntable from external vibration
Tonearm may be "indexed" left and right at high or low speed without lifting dust cover
Automatic record-size selector permits precise and safe indexing
"Repeat" mode for continuous music
Capable of operation in synchronization with selected Sony cassette decks using the optional SONY RM-65
Tonearm and Functions
