ADJUSTMENT

SCREW

When

is

removed

from

the

surface

via

the

tonearm

lift,

the

space

between

the

stylus

tip

and

the

surface

should

be

between

5

and

the

KNOB

Turn

this

knob

to

the

same

number

as

the

stylus

pressure

ring

indicates.

Skating

force

is

the

frictional

force

caused

by

contact

between

the

tip

of

the

stylus

and

the

record

groove,

and

is

applied

to

the

stylus

as

a

side

pressure

depending

upon

the

relationship

of

the

geometrical

position

of

the

tonearm.

This

force

results

in

an

unbalance

of

the

contact

pressure

be-

tween

the

stylus

tip

and

each

groove

wall

of

the

record,

an

increase

of

distortion,

a

decrease

of

separation

characteristics

and

abnormal

wear

of

the

stylus

tip

and

the

record

grooves.

For

this

reason,

it

is

necessary

to

compensate

this

skating

force.

This

anti-skating

force

mechanism

performs

this

compensation

function.

The

quantity

of

anti-skating

force

is

in

proportion

to

the

stylus

pressure

and,

therefore,

it

should

be

adjusted

according

to

the

stylus

pressure.

HOW

TO

ASSEMBLE

INSTALLATION

OF

THE

TURNTABLE

PLATTER

Install

the

turntable

platter

to

the

motor

shaft.

Place

the

turntable

sheet

on

the

turntable

platter.

NOTE

This

set

is

especially

designed

for

a

direct

drive

player

system.

Therefore,

the

rotor,

which

is

rotating

part

of

the

motor,

is

con-

nected

directly

to

the

turntable

platter.

(The

magnet

of

the

motor

is

attached

to

the

turntable

platter),

For

this

reason,

to

maintain

the

high

performance

described

in

the

specifications,

care

should

be

taken

to

prevent

any

dust

or

iron

filings

from

getting

into

and

adhering

to

the

magnet.

Also

avoid

dropping

the

turntable

platter

onto

a

hard

surface,

as

this

may

break

the

magnet.

FEATURES

(TURNTABLE

@

TURNTABLE

PLATTER

ITSELF

THE

ROTOR

OF

THE

MOTOR

The

direct

drive

principle

innovated

by

TECHNICS,

which

has

altered

the

course

of

turntable

development,

has

now

been

car-

ried

a

step

further.

Not

only

does

the

SL-1300

feature

automatic

player

system,

but

it

incorporates

an

ingenious

redesign

of

the

direct

drive

motor

itself.

The

result

is

to

connect

the

motor

to

the

turntable

platter

directly,

of

course,

there

is

no

reduction

or

transmission

mechanism

such

as

a

belt

or

idler.

The

turntable

platter

itself

is

part

of

the

motor.

In

addition,

the

motor

rotates

at

the

same

speed

of

the

records.

Wear

of

parts

is,

therefore,

reduced

to

the

extreme

minimum,

and

high

performance

can

be

maintained.

Thus,

there

is

no"

WOW

and

FLUTTER"

caused

by

a

transmission

mechanism.

There

is

no

vibration

because

this

motor

has

no

high

speed

rotation

mechanism.

The

rumble

is

extremely

low.

@NO

EFFECT

FROM

FLUCTUATIONS

OF

THE

POWER

SUPPLY

FREQUENCY

Since

the

motor

is

the

OC

brushless

motor,

the

rotation

speed

does

not

depend

on

the

power

supply

frequency.

And,

the

motor

power

consumption

is

only

0.1

W,

which

is

less

than

1/100th

that

of

a

conventional

AC

motor,

theretore,

there

is

no

effect

from

electro

magnetic

vibration.

@

ELECTRONIC

STABILIZATION

CONTROL

This

set

includes

special

circuitry

to

stabilize

the

speed

electri-

cally.

Speed

stability

is

extremely

good.

@

NEW

AUTOMATIC

PLAYER

SYSTEM

CAN

BE

OPERATED

FIVE

FUNCTIONS

This

player

system

features

such

operations

as

auto-lead

in,

auto-return,

auto-cut,

auto-repeat

and

manual

operation.

And,

MEMO-REPEAT

mechanism

is

an

especially

outstanding

feature.

A

record

may

be

played

once

or

up

to

five

times—or

repeated

indefinitely.

This

unique

function

is

not

matched

by

any

other

type

of

repeat-play

record

system

in

a

home

player

Just

set

the

MEMO-REPEAT

knob

to

the

desired

number.

@

SMOOTH,

FEATHER-TOUCH

MECHANISM,

IN

COMBINATION

WITH

PRECISION

PARTS

AND

INGENIOUS

CONSTRUCTION

The

automatic

mechanism

uses

precision

molded

plastic

parts,

in

order

to

avoid

the

noise

caused

by

automatic

operation.

In

addition,

each

operation

knob

is

finished

precisely,

so

it

can

be

operated

by

a

feather

touch.

‘And,

there

is

no

skipping

or

skating

caused

by

operation.

@EASY-VIEW

STROBO

‘Two

sets

of

strobo

dots

appear

on

the

tapered

rim

for

33-1/3

and

45

r.p.m.

at

both

50

and

60

Hz

synchronization,

with

either

type

of

AC

source.

The

prism

strobo

illuminator

lights

when

switch

is

on,

thus

serving

as

a

pilot

lamp.

The

combination

of

prism

lamp

and

tapered

strobo

rim

results

in

easy

viewing

from

any

position.

@

ALUMINIUM

DIECAST

BASE

The

appearance

of

the

SL-1300

is

enhanced

by

the

attractively

styled

die-cast

aluminium

base

and

compact

finish.

(6)

@

EFFICIENT,

LOW-POWER

OPERATION

The

motor

power

consumption

is

only

0.1

W

and

total

power

consumption

is

less

than

4

W.

(While

automatic

mechanism

is

operating

is

6.5W)

This

is

most

important

in

terms

of

longer

life

and

reliability.

That

is

more

than

the

saving

of

a

few

pennies

of

electrical

power,

but

means

less heat,

less

vibration,

less

stress

on

the

control

circuitry

and

less

evaporation

of

lubricants.

The

result

is

not

merely

longer

motor

life,

which

may

be

a-

chieved

in

other

direct

drive

designs,

but

longer

life

of

the

entire

component

assembly.

(TONEARM

SECTION)

@

HIGH

QUALITY

UNIVERSAL

TONEARM

This

tonearm

is

especially

designed

for

the

SL-1300,

using

four

pairs

of

pivot

bearings

to

enhance

the

rotational

sensitivity

of

the

gimbal-suspended

type.

Thus

it

can

accept

any

cartridges,

stylus

pressure

of

which

is

at

0.25

gram.

@

SIMPLE

AND

EASY

STRUCTURE

OF

THE

HEAD

SHELL

The

head

shell

is

finished

of

die-cast

aluminium

to

prevent

vibration.

‘The

structure

of

this

shell

is

simple,

so

that

the

installation

of

the

cartridge

and

the

adjustment

of

the

overhang

are

easy

and

fool-

proot.

@

LOW-CAPACITANCE

PHONO

CABLES

High-frequency

audio

losses

are

eliminated

and

discrete

4-chan-

nel

(CD-4)

records

can

be

played

through

a

suitable

cartridge

with

no

deterioration

in

carrier

frequencies.

@

FEATHER-TOUCH

CUEING

Feather-touch

cueing

is

viscous-damped

in

both

directions

for

gentle

descent

and

ascent.

The

tonearm

will

be

set

down

exactly

on

the

groove

you

desired,

thus

protecting

the

stylus

tip

from

damage.

@EASY

ADJUSTMENT

OF

STYLUS

PRESSURE

The

stylus

pressure

adjustment

is

easy

because

of

helical

type

‘of

movement,

just

turning

the

balance

weight

can

adjust

the

stylus

pressure

accurately.

@
