Panasonic Technics SL-1300

10 FEATURES
(TURNTABLE SECTION)
@ 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.

@
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.
@ PRECISION ANTI-SKATING FORCE CONTROL DEVICE
By precision design, the inside force is canceled accurately.
