In reverse gear, it is necessary to reverse the direction of the mainshaft (output shaft). This is done by introducing a reverse idler gear into the power flow path. The idler gear is located between the countershaft reverse gear and the reverse gear on the mainshaft ... The reverse gear is actually the external tooth sleeve of the first/second synchronizer.

By combining the reverse gear of the laser pickup carriage and the horizontal transfer rack into a single assembly, Pioneer's new advanced "Gamma-Turn" Mechanism enables quieter, smoother and faster change to the flip side of the disc. That means a more theater-like ambiance without lengthy intermissions.

Mécanisme perfectionné Gamma-Turn. En associant le pignon d'inversion de l'équipage du capteur à laser et la crémaillère de transfert horizontal, les ingénieurs de Pioneer ont mis au point un nouveau mécanisme, Gamma-Turn, assurant une transition de lecture plus rapide et plus silencieuse entre les faces du disque.
