FOR THE TOP-OF-THE-LINER. THE DIRECT DRIVE, OPTO-COUPLED AUTO LIFT 6300.
Features and technological excellence galore. Starting with absolute speed accuracy assured by a combination of direct drive design and DC servo motor that automatically compensates for voltage/speed fluctuations. Of course, there's auto lift and shut off, but on the 6300 it's opto-coupled--a significant Marantz exclusive. It means no tracking distortion caused by mechanical linkage between auto mechanism and tone arm. The secret: a tiny beam from a light-emitting diode maintains constant contact with a photo transistor during play.
At record's end, a sliding blade cuts contact, activating a circuit that lifts the tone arm and shuts off the motor. There's more.
Stroboscopic pitch control "fine-tunes" speed to your personal preference. And viscous damped cueing gently, smoothly lowers the precision S-shaped tone arm onto the sensitive disk surface. Vertical/ lateral counter balancing and anti-skate result in lowest distortion and tracking error.
