It's a stock arm.
It adjusts to the different tracking weight caused by the warps and other irregularities in the LP. Basically it dynamically tracks the vertical irregularities of an LP so the stylus doesn't suddenly become heavier and lighter as it moves up and down.
I have the 5 version.
Very nice table.
The manual on VE explains how to set it up correctly.
Enjoy.

You bet- it’s original.
The tonearm is microprocessor controlled. The brain is coupled to servomotors in the tonearm. It effectively compensates for bucking bronco records. It works. And the processor controls the main motor functions. It is semi-automatic but manual control is always available. Your controls are outside; soft-touch satin aluminum buttons. Even cueing is servo. Quite elegant in operation, really. Smoothly finished and hefty, the arm setting dials for tonearm electronic controls, VTF, Damping, and Anti-skate, are mounted next to the arm. Think of it like an active suspension on a sports car. It adjusts according to the setting and the conditions. The arm can be either a heavy or lightweight. They body is rosewood veneer with a super-gloss coating. Underneath is a multilayer plinth. The platter has a zinc anti-resonant ring bolted on and it rides on magnets. This was designed when JVC went on a full-blown anti-resonance war. The motor spins up to speed in 1/4 of a revolution. Braking is both electronic and electro-mechanical.
Scary brute, huh? The price was high, it was TOTL, and people were scared of it. It was too alien. It also works extremely well.
Oh, the arm does have vertical height adjustment.
It is all very trick. It can keep its cool even on the wildest bucking-bronco records. Mine keeps going when others turned to dust long ago.
Another “Oh.” A cute trick is when the arm height is adjusted it simultaneously adjusts the arm rest height. That makes sense.
Final “oh.’ That is not the original headshell. The original is a two-piece of composite construction in silver. It has a built in silk-screened overhang measurement adjustment marked in black.

Looks just like mine except my JVC headshell is a 2-piece sliding with a overhang scale on the stationary part. Works fine with the 2 other headshells & carts too.
I will have it 1-year come July 4th. Its a fine table as far as I'm concerned. But I don't know dit when it comes to TTs.
Absolutely no regrets on buying it.
