FEATURES
POPULAR BELT-DRIVE SYSTEM
The Pioneer belt-drive system built into this unit owes its
popularity to the superior rotation speed stability and
improved signal-to-noise ratio provided by the polyurethane
belt. This system is unaffected by changes in temperature
and humidity. That is one of the reasons for the outstand-
ing performance of the PL-ISR.
HIGH-QUALITY MOTOR
The 4-pole synchronoUs motor which drives the PL-lSRs
precision-formed die-cast aluminum alloy platter assures
new levels of smooth, rumble-free performance with no
speed variations.
ANTI-SKATING DEVICE ENSURES
PERFECT TRACKING
To keep the stylus tracking perfect along the center of the
record groove (in other words, to compensate for the in-
ward thrust of the tonearm), a specially developed spring-
activated anti-skating device is provided. Its effect is to
guarantee fine channel separation when playing stereo
records.
DIRECTLY READABLE TRACKING FORCE
' ADJUSTMENT
The tracking force is adjustable over a wide range so that
practically any cartridge (with standard EIA plug) can be
accommodated.
S-SHAPED TON EARM
The light-weight and light-tracking tonearm is shaped for
almost perfect geometry and minimum tracking error.
GOOD DESIGN - A JOY TO LOOK AT
The main panel's matted finish lends a soft, subdued touch
to the overall design, it is complemented by the smoked
dust cover.
The PL-lSR is a smart, modern addition to any listening
room.
