FEATURES
Biotracer
electronic
tonearm
The
horizontal
and
vertical
movement
of
the
tonearm
is
monitored
by
the
Biotracer’s
own
sensors,
and
this
information
is
transmitted
to
the
tonearm
by
the
tonearm’s
own
linear
motors
to
suppress
resonance
at
low
frequencies
and
to
obtain
the
maximum
signal-to-
noise
ratio.
Automatic
arm
lift
When
play
finishes,
an
optical
sensor
detects
the
record’s
end
and
activates
the
lift-up
of
the
tonearm.
The
turntable
then
stops.
Electronic
stylus
force
and
anti-skating
adjustment
As
the
stylus
force
is
electronically
controlled
by
a
knob
it
can
be
easily
adjusted
during
record
play.
The
proper
anti-skating
force
is
automatically
set
when
the
stylus
force
is
set.
Quartz
lock
and
magnedisc
servo
system
The
turntable
maintains
an
accurate
and
drift-free
speed
by
refer-
ring
to
a
frequency
generated
by
a
very
stable
quartz
oscillator,
and
with
aid
of
a
speed
monitoring
system
which
utilizes
a
magnetic
pick-up
head
and
a
pulse
signal
derived
from
a
magnetic
coating
at
the
edge
of
the
platter.
Linear
BSL
motor
Direct
drive
system
with
Sony’s

(Brushless
and
slotless)
motor
which
has
a
high
signal-to-noise
ratio
to
virtually
eliminate
wow
and
flutter.
Its
high
torque
assures
quick
start
to
331/3
rpm
after
only
a
half
revolution.
