As soon as you see and operate the
KD-5100, you will instantly recognize it as
a minor masterpiece in turntable design.

It takes only the lightest linger pressure
on a touch-key to cue the tonearm into its
smooth, firm glide in the direction com-
manded. In fact, Kenwoods microprocessor
electronic brain" and digital-optical sensor
system are responsible for every precision
movement the slender, straight tonearm
makes.

But computer-guided control is by no
means the only merit of the KD-5100. Theres
the newly designed, low-mass tonearm with
its carbon-fiber headshell: one of the most
successful of its kind in terms of freedom
from resonance problems and superb
tracking ability.

In its direct-drive system too, the KD-5100
excels. Its quartz-referenced phase-locked
loop servo feedback system, advanced
sample-and-hold phase detector and heavy,
high-inertia platter provide both accuracy
and stability, even in the face of transient
load fluctuations.

Moreover, its new ARB base is specially
designed for anti-resonance, a vital consider-
ation for any turntable.

With its controls arranged for easy acces-
sibility along the front control strip and its
handsome wide-and-low styling, the KD-5100
is destined to take pride of place in any
hi-fi system.
