FEATURES
SPECIFICATIONS
The RD-3600 employs a high-performance frequency generator
servo DC motor and auto-return mechanism. These features, and
fine workmanship, account for its ultrasensitive performance.
©NEW DESIGN FREQUENCY GENERATOR SERVO CONTROLLED
DC MOTOR (See Figs. 19 and 20.)
Motor power consumption is only 0.5 W and total turntable power
consumption is 3 W. (Conventional AC phono motors typically
consume 10 to 20 W.)
This new motor design, coupled with belt-drive, enabled Pana¬
sonic engineers to develop a reasonably priced automatic-return
turntable with many of the high-performance specs, such as high
starting torgue, low consumption and extremely good Wow,
Flutter and Rumble figures.
©SPEED IS INDEPENDENT FROM POWER LINE FREQUENCY
Since this unit uses a DC motor and the FREQUENCY GENE¬
RATOR SERVO SYSTEM,
its speed
is independent of power
line frequency variations.
©NEW-DESIGN ACOUSTIC INSULATORS
To prevent vibrations from reaching the platter and tonearm,
acoustic insulators composed of springs and high viscosity
damping material are used.
©VISCOUS-DAMPED CUEING DEVICE
This device is viscous-damped so that you can lower the tonearm
slowly on the record.
This protects the stylus tip from damage during descent.
©ANTI-SKATING FORCE CONTROL
No threads or weights, simply turn the knob to correspond with
the stylus pressure setting, to obtain perfect compensation of
tonearm side-thrust (anti-skating).
©ELECTRONIC SPEED CHANGE
Many belt-drive designs use a stepped capstan pulley and lever
arrangement to change the speed.
This frequency generator servo motor design allows for easy
electronic speed
change, eliminating a possible source of
mechanical trouble.
©LOW CAPACITANCE PHONO CABLES
To avoid high frequency loss, low capacitance phono cables are
used. They are ideal for conversion to CD-4, too.
